Witeden mini 4x4x4

[EMI]

As announced here http://twistypuzzles.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=285339#p285339, Witeden is going to mass produce a mini 4x4x4 (size:4.2 cm)

Might be good for children

Am I the only who finds 42mm to be way too small for a 4x4x4? It may fit in my pocket, but not in my hands without risking pain in my fingers.

Tony Fisher could do better

4.2cm (or 42mm) does sound too small for a 4x4x4. But I guess the point is probably that it is pocket-sized rather than being the optimal size for speedcubing. And 4x4 OH isn't an event yet.

Ohh how fun! I was wondering why there were not more mini sized cubes other than the 3x3.

There are mini 2x2 cubes

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Oh ok.. I was more directing toward the bigger cubes, 4x4 and megaminx and such.

I know mini those is .. hard to make haha.

I've been wanting a keychain-sized 4x4x4 ever since I dreamed of one several years ago! It would be sooooo cute.

It's not an event yet. Reason enough to begin practising

4x4 OH isn't an event yet.

I wasn't even thinking about OH! This has a chance to make 4x4 OH more reasonable.

Umm, I think they really screwed up here. 42mm is quite small for a 3x3, let alone a 4x4. I wonder how the turning will be though..

EDIT: I see 4x4 OH in the near future.

mad interested in this 4x4

Didn't know that one. But it doesn't look like it turns well, plus I believe in my dream it was about 3.5-4cm large.

 

[qqwref]

D'aww. I want one.

Speaking about minis and different cube sizes... with the mini Zhanchis coming out, it should have been like this always. Everyone has different sized hands either bigger or smaller and a cube that fits your size is the best for you. Of course, it's easier for the manufacturer to make all just standard size though...

 

[tx789]

So small for a cube and it's a 4x4

 

[Kattenvriendin]

*giggle* Well not THAT small, maybe 3/4 the size of 1/2 the size of the regular

I just read the first page and I thought man, a mini megaminx would be so funny! Then I click page 2 and see a mini megaminx!! That thing is awesome!

As for the 4x4 though, I think it is just too small to be really practical. A 4x4 that was Zhanchi-size would be nice, but I think its too small for me.

Another issue will be stickers for so many sizes! Poor CubeSmith.
