Well I saw these cars (Flat Ryderz) and how they pop out of their pakage, the cube itself has another mechanics but the consept is the same (be splitted and loaded then and with a pull it pops back up into shape again)

Thanks for your comment!

ha. very cool :) good trick to play on friends at school, maybe something along the lines of putting them in random binders and saying "you've been 'cubed'. pass it on" etc...

Yes my friends are always surprised!
some of them even jump when it pops!
