Described by his designer David Weeks as a wooden puzzle with a playful personality. David Weeks is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. He took his inspiration for this design from Shinto Kumi-ki puzzles. “Kumi-ki” is a Japanese word that means to assemble wood or put together wood. Usually used in the puzzle world to mean interlocking wooden puzzles that when assembled form a familiar figure. By joining ancient Japanese tradition with contemporary toy culture, Robot Shapeshifter is David Weeks non-traditional take on the toy
The Robot is a great friend and children’s toy. His arms, legs, torso, and head will twist all about to form a myriad of positions.
