The classic Rubik's cube gets a makeover from Japanese puzzle designer Hidetoshi Takeji. The new Rubik's cube does away with colors and instead has blocks of different sizes that have to be lined up. It is also covered with mirrors and opens up completely making it even more challenging to get all the blocks in a row.
This looks like an awesome gift for geeks this holiday season but no word on whether it will be available in North America. The cube retails on Amazon.com Japan for ¥ 1,494.
Here's a neat YouTube video showing someone solving a bump cube, which was also designed by Takeji, in 55.47 seconds.
