Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The world is a cube and its inhabitants are stick people. And these stick people are sticking together in some very fun ways. Single Cube World cubes contain a character and something for that character to play with. Turn the red cube on to see Dodger appear with his ball, which he will dribble, head bobble, or kick. Turn on the yellow cube to see Whip use his rope as a lasso, jump rope, bullwhip, and more.

If you prefer being in the game rather than watching from the sidelines, you can choose to interact with each of these characters via built-in motion sensors. For instance, if you tumble Dodger’s cube over and over, he will roll to each down-facing side with every turn--and may eventually get really angry with you. If you pick up Whip’s cube and shake it, he will fall and flail about. There’s also a good chance he will get physically sick from all the motion.

Collect and connect up to 16 cubes.

But things get truly interesting when you connect the two cubes together using the magnetic contacts that are on four sides of each cube. The cubes can be placed side by side, or stacked one on top of the other for interactive enjoyment. While both Dodger and Whip have unique animations, once joined together, they will play with, pester, and even protect each other. For instance, Dodger and Whip can now play catch with Dodger’s ball, or tug-of-war with Whip’s rope.

Each cube side measures just under two inches.

Other modes of play include music and games. When you turn the sound on, the figures will start dancing. When you start the game mode, you will interact with the stick character and see real-time results. The cube even tracks your high score. After four minutes of no interaction from you, Dodger and Whip will go into sleep mode, complete with animated snoring after they lay down. After another minute of no movement, the cube will shut off to help conserve battery power. When you’re ready to play again, simply press the "on" button for Dodger and Whip to appear.

If you have multiple Cube World sets, you can connect up to 16 cubes in any vertical and/or horizontal configuration to see them all interact together (even if there are more than one of the same character). Since each cube can hold up to four stick figures, this makes for hours of unpredictable and thoroughly entertaining fun. Each cube runs on one CR2032 battery, which is included.

This toy is really cool, I bought it today and I haven't been able to put it down. They are very durable, i have dropped them and they are fine, and my little sister watched them interact together in the shower and they got damp all over and they work the same. They are really neat and i would say that they are a very good purchase. Buy them if you want something that you can watch when you're bored.

This review is from: Radica Cube World Dodger & Whip Interactive Game (Toy)

Its really funny and entertaining since the stick figures do differnt things on the way. I connected all the 4 cubes i have and they had thier own little house party. When you shake them they fall down, faint, barf, or fart. Its realy funny . The durability is great i have even stepped on it by accident right on the screen. This is a great toy but it stays entertaining for about a week then its just another peice of junk

Really fun, but kids (and me) get bored with them after a while. Now they are just shelf decorations for guests to play with (untill they get bored) I wish there were some more features or they were more interactive.
