It goes without saying that spinners are all the rage these days. What I find most interesting about this particular category of toy, though, are the variations possible. This HOSALA Mokuru Toy Fidget Spinner Stick<\/a> mocks the very idea of simple variation and instead delivers a completely different type of fidget toy.<\/p>\n

The packaging. That’s a tight fit!<\/p><\/div>\n

First impressions are that it doesn’t fit in its packaging very well and that it’s smaller than you might expect at only 3.5×1.1 in (90×27 mm). It’s also wood, which is a stark contrast to the usual plastic or metal fidget spinners.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional fidget spinners, you don’t spin this. It’s literally a rounded block of wood with rubber caps. As such, you instead flip it, roll it, and toss it about. This is said to be based on a Japanese desktop game, where a search for “Mokuru\/Kururin” seems to confirm that.<\/p>\n
