The Rubik's Cube is perhaps the most well-known puzzle toy. Chances are you've tried to solve the classic brain teaser before. But have you ever tried to twist Batman's face so his eyeballs line up? No? Well, you can finally try thanks to an official series of puzzles called Rubik's Cubers. Released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the iconic little cube, the Superhero-themed Rubik's Cubers cost $15 and come in designs based on popular Marvel and DC characters, including Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, and more. You can even get a two-pack featuring Batman and the Joker in their classic Silver Age colors for $30. When you're not trying to rearrange Batman's face, you can turn the superhero cubes into display figures.
Spin Master, the company behind the legendary puzzle, has also released a Bluetooth-enabled Rubik's Cube This looks pretty awesome for tracking your progress and a Magnetic Rubik's Speed Cube for those who really want to solve the puzzle as quickly as possible.

Much like the classic Rubik's Cubes, these are all 3×3 blocks that you can twist and turn to recreate the heads of the characters they're based on. In the case of the Batman Rubik's Cube, you can add his iconic ear tips after you've successfully solved this puzzle. If you want to compete with a friend, the Batman and Joker two-pack would be a suitable choice. There's also a standalone Batman Cube that sports his familiar gray, gold, and black color scheme.
The Marvel Cubes are all based on the MCU appearances of these characters and include designs of Spider-Man, Black Panther, Hulk, and Iron Man.
As mentioned, all of the Marvel and DC Rubik's Cubes can be placed on a stand that includes a blocky version of their body, creating a cute collectible when you're not busy cursing whoever mixed up the cube while you weren't looking.
If any of these are out of stock on Amazon, you can also check Target to see if they're in stock.
