P.S. 10 geek points to whoever can tell me who the action figure in the photo is.

Last episode we talked about 3-d imagery on the big screen, but what about actual physical 3-d…such as the awesome Cubebot from the David Weeks Studio!

Cubebot is a wooden robot that can fold into a cube or unfold into just about any pose you can imagine. It’s inspired by Japanese shinto kumi-ki puzzles and has joints that use little rubber bands giving him remarkable flexibility.

It’s a really fun combination of a puzzle toy and an action figure…much like The Transformers. It’s almost like this guy is a primitive ancestor
of the Transformers.

With a little work I could see this toy used for some sweet stop motion animation and I’m itching to try that myself (or with buddies….ahem…cough cough….David.)

I’m betting this is going to be a hot sell for the upcoming holiday season as well so get em’ soon!
