With 25 more days until its Kickstarter comes to an end, Fidget Cube is on its way to attracting $5 million in funding. The vinyl desk toy hit the reward-based crowdfunding portal last month and scored over $3 million in a matter of weeks.
Fidget has six sides that feature something that users can enjoy “fidgeting with” this includes clicking, glide, flip, breathe, roll and spin. The toy comes in eight different color schemes such as Dice, Graphite, Midnight, Aqua, Sunset, Berry, Fresh, and Retro. The creators of the cube, Colorado-based Antsy Labs, stated that you can use it anywhere:
“Use it at your desk while working on projects. Enduring a lengthy commute and need to relieve some stress? Fidget away. Marathoning a Netflix series? Yep, you can fidget then too.”
In a recent update, the Antsy Labs team shared details about the Fidget Cube’s prototypes:
“We had initially planned on including shots of a handful of Fidget Cube prototypes on the main project page, and it never ended up happening by the time we launched. So we thought we’d give you a quick peek at some of the evolution of Fidget Cube over the years. Check out a few glimpses of some of our sketches and prototypes down below.”
They also noted:
“We made several early prototypes out of prototyping plastic pellets that become pliable after being boiled in water. We’re not saying we injured ourselves while designing Fidget Cube – but we’re not saying we didn’t, either.”
The Cube is currently available for $19. Antsy stated it will be delivered around the world and estimated delivery is March 2017.
Update: Fidget Cube’s Kickstarter has successfully secured $5 million from nearly $124,000 backers.
