3. Infinite Rubik's Cube
The conventional Rubik's Cube already has decompression properties, while the Infinite Rubik's Cube amplifies the decompression function.

The infinite Rubik's Cube is small in size, usually a cube with a side length of 4cm. The Rubik's Cube can be opened, merged, and transformed with one hand.
4. Press And Hold Music Toy
When shopping online, stores often wrap the product with a layer of bubble bag to prevent damage due to squeezing. Many consumers find the feel and sound of pressing bubble bags very relaxing. The principle of pressing is somewhat similar, but the difference is that the protrusions on the product can be pressed repeatedly. The popularity of this type of product was driven by the game " pop it toy", so many products on the market are in rainbow colors.
