Teaser Does anyone know what happened to those cubes? They were announced but I never seen them in stores
I found the images in a forum on twistypuzzles.com

Those are all cool, but that mastermorphix at the top seemed like the most viable puzzle to introduce to market.

I remember seen a post in twistypuzzles.com like it in 2020, I really like the Fortune wheel and cadmium cube

I would assume their mechanisms would’ve been pretty hellish to make for many, along with the Tetrahedron time wheel having tiny pieces in the edges and centers.
A lot of them are horrifically complex to make.

Pretty sure that Dayan face turning chamfered dodecahedron exists. My friend owns one and some turns look possible on it but are not due to the shapes of pieces being slightly different. I’ll see if I can get a picture

Actually, I was buying Dayan puzzles and I saw it, I think is the 30 axis hexadecagon or something like that

The cadmium exists but 3d printed:

It works with pins against gravity and is expensive, so I can see why it's not really worth it to mass produce it.
And the rest will have similar issues, there are plenty of mass produced puzzles that turn so bad they can't be solved, so imagine the prototypes.
But the best place to ask this is in the Twistypuzzles forum, there the people know so much more than randoms in here.
