Fans of the popular anime cat Hello Kitty can have fun trying to solve this Hello Kitty Rubik cube. The iconic cat character is divided up into disfigured sliding parts making that users can have fun attempting to put back together.
A traditional Rubik cube usually comes in a cube design covered in a variety of colored squares that users have to attempt to match up on each side. This Hello Kitty version follows the same game premise except that the Rubik's cube isn't really a cube. Instead the toy comes shaped like the anime Hello Kitty character with moveable pieces. Users can have fun rearranging the pieces till Hello Kitty's body is no longer recognizable and then attempt to put them back together -- if they can remember how they moved the pieces in the first place!
