Rubik’s Cube is perhaps the best-known puzzle toy. Chances are you’ve tried to solve the classic combination puzzle before. But have you ever tried to twist Batman’s face so his eyeballs are aligned? No? Well, now you can finally give that a try thanks to an official series of puzzles called Rubik’s Cubers. Released to commemorate the iconic little cube’s 50th anniversary, the superhero-themed Rubik’s Cubers cost $15 and are available in models based on popular Marvel and DC characters, including Spider-Man, The Hulk, Iron Man, and more. You can even get a two-pack featuring Batman and the Joker in their classic Silver Age colors for $30. When you’re not trying to rearrange Batman’s face, you can turn the superhero cubes into figures for display.
Spin Master, the company behind the legendary puzzle, has also released a Bluetooth-enabled Rubik’s Cube that sounds pretty awesome for tracking your progress and a magnetic Rubik’s Speed Cube for those who are serious about solving the puzzle as quickly as possible. Check out all of the 50th anniversary Rubik’s Cube puzzles below.
Rubik’s Cubers – Marvel and DC Superheroes
$15
Just like the classic Rubik’s Cubes, these are all 3 x 3 format blocks that you can twist and turn to recreate the heads of the characters they’re based on. In the case of the Batman Rubik’s Cube, you can add his iconic ear-tips after you successfully solve this puzzle. If you want to compete against a friend, the two-pack featuring Batman and Joker would be a fitting choice. There’s also a standalone Batman Cube that sports his familiar gray, gold, and black colors.
The Marvel cubes are all based on the MCU appearances of those characters and include Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Hulk, and Iron Man designs.
As mentioned, all of the Marvel and DC Rubik’s Cubes can be placed on a stand that includes a blocky version of their body, creating a cute collectible when you’re not busy cursing at whoever jumbled up the cube when you weren’t looking.
In case any of these are sold out at Amazon, you can also check Target to see if they’re in stock.
