The YuXin Tiger 2×2 is a shape modification of a classic 2×2: it solves like a 2×2, but the goal is to assemble the tiger figure. It has no magnets. Commonly listed specs for this version include Item No. YX1052, puzzle size 110 × 105 × 130 mm, and net weight around 161 g.

Who it’s for

• Fans of shape mods and animal-themed cubes.
• A fun gift: it’s cute and instantly eye-catching.
• Practicing 2×2 logic on a non-standard shape.
• If you want a small pocket 2×2 for pure speed, this is more of a big novelty mod.

Turning / handling feel

• Often described as fairly smooth and easy-turning for a shape mod.
• Because it’s large, it feels more “substantial” than a normal 2×2.

Magnets & mechanism

• No magnets: alignment relies on feel and practice.
• Mechanically it behaves like a standard 2×2, with a themed outer shape.

Size, weight, materials

• Puzzle dimensions: 110 × 105 × 130 mm.
• Net weight: ~161 g.

Main pros

• Big, display-worthy tiger design.
• Solves like a 2×2 but looks far more unique on the shelf.
• No magnets: simple, classic feel.
• Great as a gift for kids and collectors.

Possible downsides

• Large and heavier than a standard 2×2, not the most portable.
• No magnets: if you prefer strong magnetic stability, it won’t provide that.

How to use

• Solve with your usual 2×2 method, checking that the tiger figure assembles correctly.
• If it feels dry, a small amount of cube lube can help, like with other twisty puzzles.

Packaging & what’s inside

• Commonly listed package size is 153 × 110 × 202 mm with gross weight around 287 g.
