I don't normally go for Transformers that don't transform. In the 90's or late 80's there was a toyline that Hasbro came out with called "Action Masters" Instead of transforming, these transformers had extra articulation and came with weapons or vehicles that transformed. It didn't sell well at all, but now there are some collectors who would give their left testicles for one. Yes I want some of them too, but I'd settle for giving my left toe big toe instead, I'm not nuts.
BUT ANYWAY
This past Saturday I accompanied a friend to the local shops for some pre-dungeons and dragons meandering. I was just along for the ride, but my wandering eye caught a familiar combination of blue and red. Sure enough, there it was, an Optimus Prime fidget cube. Or "Fidget Its" as the product is called.
I had no idea this sort of thing existed. It's not exactly a high quality item, but it's an interesting little bauble to put on my desk and play with while I watch videos or wait for the microwave to go *ding*.
Its got a ratcheted spinner on it's right arm, its left arm is a clicky switch, its got a big button on it's head, and rubbery ones on its face, along with three dials on its back. It makes a lot of clicking sounds, which are louder than I'd expect, but satisfying to hear.
While I don't really collect things like this, I still enjoy it, and it's gonna be on or around my desk for a good while, and it's the right size to be a toy in one of my toys' collection! Mind you I don't have tiny shelves for my toys to put their things on. I suppose I could cut up some cardboard boxes.

I think I might need an out doors hobby or something.
