Every cube consists of 2 parts, and you can easily take them apart. Disassemble all 6 Cubes. Reassemble them by only using the bottom parts who have no plastic that sticks out. I tried it and it works! Then you can think about an own design. The stickers are fairly easy removable.
Thanks Rob. I should take a look my cubes and have a try. If this work then this will be great ! And even we can make our own Cube A Libre close up version ;) The Pooh or Mickey version are still available on the market. :)

Yes Victor, 2 Winny the Pooh's or Mickey Mouse cube sets are cheaper than 1 original Bare Bones.

I have the 3 Cubes now ready, the gimmick slides easily, and now I am busy finding the right pictures.

Simon's Barbara Bones looks fantastic and the cubes fit perfectly loosely, the tolerances are just exactly good!

When I am ready, I definitely will make a video of it, with the great Bones tube from Simon!

Mr. Rob Rand, you are a genius. I did know what you meant by taking part the cube into 2 parts until I try it myself and it works :) and by doing this we will still have complete 2 versions. All I need to do is looking for another set and make my own Bare Bones. Wow....what a great solution. Thanks a lot again Rob ;)

Well Victor, thanks for calling me a genius :) I believe we are just lucky that the cubes consist of 2 parts, 2 U-forms to be precise.

I have already found pictures of nice ladies on the web, a bit like the lady on my self-made Bare Bones. Next is the search for a good looking skeleton! :)

I am missing so much that is going on. I just took a quick look at the pictures and it looks awesome. I have to come back and read about the latest JH creation.

At second thought I also would like to have the Zig zag version Simon... The story line on that is hilarious!
You don't have one left don't you?

Suddenly I saw a Bare Bones for sale at eBay, no bidding just buying, didn't hesitate to buy it. At the same time busy making a BB myself from Winny the Pooh Cubes.
But seeing The Real Stuff before me, with a Buy Now button... That's the real spirit! That's the real addiction to Tenyo :)

On the meantime I finished my own Bare Bones version with the Winny the Pooh Cubes, here is a slightly different lady than the original one :)

Sexy job Rob.

Thank you to Simon for not only being my tour guide of London, but gifting me the Zig Zag Lady version of this add-on. It is very impressive. I cannot wait to try it out when I get home.

The new cubes look really professional rob! Great performance too. My patter with this one and the zigzag version is that she was a magicians assistant and he kept getting his tricks wrong. When performing the zigzag lady, he had his apparatus upside down and instead of Barbara being able to bend out of the way of the blades, they went right through! He kept mixing her parts up not realising they weren't attached to each other! So her ghost now haunts the box, but maybe if we turn it the right way up we can bring her back so she can do one last performance in her former glory!
And thanks for the birthday wishes!!
