Weilong GTS3M coming out, as we predicted, will they be a bit more original next year?

Hmm..."sculpted"? I don't think that this is a good idea for 3x3.

Available for pre-order for $34.95 or $38.50, hope that price will decrease after mass launch.

 

[Duncan Bannon]

I think the price may go up. Thecubicle.us said the price now is only for preorder.

It may go up initially, but it will go on sale later. They can't lower it too fast, and make the people who preordered feel like they got ripped off, but we're past the age of revolutionary 3x3s that are the best at any price.

For reference, a GTS3M costs 168 RMB on taobao, and one shop can even afford to throw in a free wingy/volt/bell with a pre-order (you get to choose)
A cheap wingy would be around 45 RMB
GTS2M is around 108 RMB

The SenHuan Zhanlang M/and non M 2x2 is for preorder at thecubicle.us

M: https://thecubicle.us/senhuan-zhanlang-p-10632.html

Non M: https://thecubicle.us/senhuan-zhanlang-p-10633.html

Interesting that for Non M you can get it in black, stickerlerss, and white. But the M only allows for black and stickerless...

Going to pick one of these up.

I really wish more of these cubes would be marketed alongside with an English name, because sometimes they've got pretty rad names in Chinese, and would be lost to English speakers. The Zhanlang, for example, means "war wolf", or roughly, wolf warrior.

Interesting... X-Man series designer Jim Zhang mentioned in connection with WuQue Mini (but cube is branded as Mofangge).

UPD. Unboxing from TheCubicle.us, shadow's style gold logo for M version unfortunately stickered:

The Senhuan Zhanshen had an English name (Mars, after the Roman god of war); funny why they didn't translate the name of their 2×2×2.

Just like all of the other Wu cubes so far. Iirc Jim Zhang is the designer of most of the WCA puzzles at Qiyi, not just for the X-Man Design subbrand, with Yukang Wu doing a lot of the non-WCA ones that they've been releasing lately (Clover, Pentacle, Coin, etc.).

Moyu has announced via Facebook the next cube in their Cubing Classroom line of cubes - an 8x8.
