MōFU (Mighty Omega Folding Universe) introduces a new series of transforming toys for kids that take the shape of geometric animals that can be compacted into small, cubic forms. These toys were created based on the need for playthings for small spaces and take inspiration from old Japanese folding toys.
The toys can be posed and played with like figurines in their full form, and also tucked into a small box for "rest." Thanks to their unique form, the transforming toys double as puzzles, as they can be challenging to fit back into their cubic forms.
The toys are now being introduced to the world on Kickstarter, beginning with MoNKI the Monkey, and more are set to be introduced with varying degrees of difficulty.
