East Sheen is a puzzle manufacturer that is mainly specialized in developing Magic Cubes (commonly known as Eastsheen cubes), which are similar to Rubik's Cubes. Magic cubes are meant to have a higher quality and to move smoother and faster than regular Rubik's Cubes. They are also much lighter, smaller and cheaper however Eastsheen cubes have the habit to lock up sometimes.
You can easily recognize Eastsheen cubes by their purple/pink face, which is orange on a regular cube.

Eastsheen cubes come in three different formats: the 2×2 cube, the 4×4 cube and the 5×5 cube. Apart from Magic Cubes East Sheen also produces mini cubes and multi cubes. East Sheen does not produce 3×3 cubes.

The Eastsheen 5×5 cube is as big as the Eastsheen 4×4 and also moves as smooth, though it also tends to lock up alot of times. Just like the 5×5 there are five types available:
