An Angel visited this gray path, and took the cube away…,
TBH, I wanted nothing more than to buy this Portal-themed plushie and love the ever-loving heck out of it… But before you purchase one just out of pure squee-inducing delight, there are some minor construction issues you may want to be aware of.
Note: The following information is not sanctioned by the Enrichment Center. (It is also based on the model I received.)
Issue #1: Not really that plush.
Considering the variety of soft, plushy materials out there… the makers of this cube do not use them. The outer fabric is polyester fiber, and reminds me of a well-loved blanket that has gone through the wash too many times. The material is sort of felt-like, and borderlines on abrasive. It’s still quite squeezable (and makes a good pillow in a pinch!), but I would love this cube so much harder if it was just a wee bit softer on the face.
Issue #2: Other scratchy parts.
The ‘tabs’ supporting each side of the face (those little gray rectangles in the picture) have scratchy edges, reminiscent of velcro. But they don’t really serve a purpose. They are a design decision that detracts from the overall product. Did I mention they’re scratchy?
Issue #3: Asymmetry (at least on mine).
This bothers my OCD side. The ‘top’ and ‘bottom’ faces don’t match up. If the top heart faces north-south, the bottom heart faces west-east… All the other hearts at least face the same direction…
THAT BEING SAID. I love my Companion Cube. I will not tolerate friends who try to mock-euthanize it either. But know what you’re getting before-hand. This toy is for adult fans of Portal, not for the infants of adult fans of Portal. Now excuse me while I go cuddle with my cube.

|absolutely beautiful piece of work…,
but don’t pay more than $30 for it! search around & you’ll find it for the MSRP price of $29.99… seriously!
and i’m so happy you can get a weighted companion cube that you’re actually allowed to grow close to!

|Great Plush toy for gamers,
Great for bring back memories of Portal, some good and bad. Now you can have your own cube and never have to get rid of it. Valve’s home page sells then for $30 and they are a great comical presant to any gamer who has played Portal….
CAKE IS A LIE!!!!
