New ShengShou FengYuan 3x3!

I dont think cubers care about knockoffs anymore. Cube manufacturing companies are all chinese and patent laws are obscure a they dont even bother. Cubers will buy whichever cube is cheaper if 2 or more are exact copies (qiyi vs newisland)

Actually, Chinese patent laws are pretty comprehensive and well praised it's just that the patent has to be registered in China so while cubers may not care, the other companies might if they hold patents. The fact that most companies in the west don't understand this means they don't register the patent in China meaning all sorts of cheap knockoff replicas can be made.
 
It feels nothing like the GTS.

The centers don't extend into the edges, and the squared corners are much more dramatic.
It's much more like a Yuexiao made by Shengshou.
 
For a select number of people who like the shengshou plastic feeling, it's main worthy, but it has too many catches. The slices aren't great either.

Also, the mech is the same as the one posted on the first page of this entry.
What's unique about this cube is the center pieces. They're square, and taper into the moderne rounded shape.

Love the primary version. I was about to get the Thunderclap V2 in primary but this one looks much nicer, because there are no seams visible on the outside of the cubies. Oh, there is also a stickerless version coming in the future.

I would love to see a stickerless 3x3 cube with a primary inside kind of like the stickerless pyraminxes are build. :)
