Cubify‘s new line of Cubify Robots can be taken apart and put back together, letting kids indulge in bouts of destruction, construction, and Frankensteinian creation. They currently have 6 colorful robots to mix-and-match — 7,776 different kinds of adorable should keep them occupied until they’re old enough for LEGO.
Cubify Robots can be ordered directly from Cubify for $4.99. Alternatively, the $0.99 source code can be downloaded ready-to-print with the $1,299 Cube Home 3D Printer. Apparently, it’s Cube-only code, so your $499 Solidoodle might not be able to print it.
Though adorable, these robots might not be quite awesome enough for people who aren’t toddlers. I find myself itching to to make my own posable interchangeable Team Fortress 2 figures. Swappable weapons. Heavy-headed Medic. Yes. Well, they’ve thought of that too: The $50 Cubify Invent software lets Cube owners create their own designs.
So many dollar signs. Feels like I’m coding in PHP.
