Cube World (toy)

Cube World cubes can be assembled together by magnets on top of one another or side by side. Each cube contains a stick figure that has a unique animation it performs by itself and with others, such as playing a musical instrument or lifting weights. When the cubes are combined, the figures interact with one another, and can move from cube to cube, with up to four at a time in any display across a maximum network of sixteen cubes. The cubes also contain a built-in gyroscope, animating the figures when the cube is tilted upside down. Each cube also contain unique games played with the buttons, and feature over 100 animations. Cube World was released as 22 different models across six series. Some units in each series were released as a 'Special Edition', in which the cubes were encased in translucent plastic, an example of the clear craze. In Japan, Cube World was distributed by Bandai, which contained identical animations but featured variations to the Radica and Mattel color schemes.
