Meilong Polaris Cube — skewb-like shape mod with extra corner moves

MeiLong Polaris Cube is an unusual MoYu/MFJS shape mod that may look somewhat like a 3×3 at first, but does not behave like a regular cube. It is non-magnetic, stickerless, about 57 mm, and about 98 g without packaging.

Who this cube is for

• For fans of skewb and shape-mod puzzles.
• For people who want a medium-difficulty unusual puzzle without extreme complexity.
• For collections of MeiLong special models.
• If you want classic 3×3 practice, this is not that kind of cube.

Turning feel

• The turning feels different because special corner moves are used.
• The 57 mm size feels familiar in the hand, but the logic is different.
• Stickerless colours make piece tracking easier.

Magnets and mechanism

• No magnets.
• The mechanism is a MeiLong shape mod with special corner rotations.
• For a full scramble, you need to understand how extra moves are unlocked.

Size, weight and materials

• Size: about 57 × 57 × 57 mm.
• Weight: about 98 g without packaging.
• Package: about 110 g gross.
• Surface: stickerless coloured plastic.

Main advantages

• Unusual design without being oversized.
• Good challenge for skewb fans.
• Easy to collect and gift.
• Clear colour scheme.

Things to keep in mind

• No magnets.
• Not intuitive if you expect a regular 3×3.
• You first need to understand the allowed corner moves.

How to use

Do not try to solve it like a regular 3×3. First study which corner rotations change the pieces, then make a deeper scramble.
