I don't know a whole lot about this cube. Apparently, it's called the Bufei Pengsong, and it's a prototype created sometime in early 2017. It's not known how many of these were made, but only 6 have been found.

I apologize in advance for the photo quality. The only camera I had on hand was pretty bad, and was literally failing as I was taking these photos.

The cube came in a plain box. A spring adjustment tool was included in the package it shipped in. This may seem fairly normal now, but remember that this prototype was apparently made in 2017. This adjustment system predates the Weilong GTS3M's system by over a year. Also of note are the rounded center caps. This was something only GAN was doing at the time to my knowledge.

A closer look at the adjustment system. There are 12 settings, and the default setting is 6. It's somewhat hard to read, but still really impressive for a cube made in 2017.

I tried to get a picture of the mechanism, but at this point my camera had completely given up. I must say that the mechanism in this cube is truly incredible. I've never seen anything like it. Hopefully I can get some better photos soon.

Interesting. Do you think maybe Mr. Pengsong is a person, like the owner of Gan? We could contact him.
