i think its going to feel like a huangying with a bit of lingyun and the core thing like most other people say will help with crooked screws and make it more sturdy. if its a OCTopus core that implys there are 8 stick bits?

I agree, and I welcome this new design, whether it succeeds or not. We've had plenty of new cubes that just tinker with the shapes of the pieces but have the same old core design with the same old problems. Kudos to this designer for taking a fresh approach, and I wish him success.

Okay then.....
I actually quite wonder how this is going to do. I expect it to be a bit of a flop but really who knows?
And those of you going on about the OCTOpus thing, it's a translation from another language (I expect Chinese) where the word octopus doesn't actually have anything indicating 8.

I never liked my Gans Puzzle 2 it had week plastic kept breaking and after seeing this design I think the core will break easily.

I love the way people are saying the picture looks like it has better quality plastic than the Huanying. That's just awesome - it's a computer generated image, you could make it out of cheese if you had the right kit!

Ok well I predict the new octopus core will lose a tentacle or two within the first week of use.

Woah WTF?
Does the core even make a difference?

Who knows
It's not like everybody's raving about the Chun core, and that one actually worked in testing.

GAN III Hexapus Core--where's the feedback??
Is it me, or is it hard to find any solid reviews on this thing? I decided to go ahead and pick it up with my recent HKnow store, but I was really hesitant as I only see scant reviews and virtually no reviews other than a couple demonstrations of the cube on youtube. What's up with that? Ah well, I guess I'll find out the hard way. I went ahead and picked up the Fangshi v.2 white body as well. I don't own the Fangshi v.1 though, just the Dayan Zhanchi and an old store-bought that was dragging me down.
And yeah, I know it's called Octopus core, but I don't call anything with 6 "legs" an octopus. It goes against my religion.
Ah well. Maybe I'll do an unboxing video when I get it since nobody else has.
Oh, and this is my first, so hello all. My name is Ami (pronounced like "Amy" but spelled with an "i" because people seem to think it is a different name than Amy and it's just a different spelling) and I live in Tennessee, USA.

Welcome to the forums, I hope you enjoy your stay
If there's nothing to risk, then you could be the first to write a good review for this new core

Welcome! Always nice to see another girl around. I guess people think "Ami" is something else because in french "ami" means "friend" and it's pronounced differently.
