You know, in almost 40 years of playing D&D I've never used or encountered a gelatinous cube. So while I like the idea, on balance this is probably not for me.

Actually, I don't think I've run or encountered any of the oozes.

 

[JustinCase]

Well, I've already got this one...

 

[Steampunkette]

I want one.

I wouldn't have much use for it, but, like, it's not a mini. You can put your Han Solo action figure into it, or a GI Joe, or something else. Which makes it super cool, to me, even if I don't have any of those things to display in it.

Looks fun, but you can easily make gelatinous cubes many ways including simply using some clear plastic packaging and a hot glue gun. Or any number of other ways, including old dice containers like I do.

But a Mr Potato Head gelatinous cube would be pretty awesome if anyone is looking for a Christmas gift for their favorite DM.

Huhn - did this thing eat Hank and the others? I see Hank's bow, part of Eric's shield, Bobby's leg and Diana's necklace - I guess Sheila was the only one who got away?

I have the D&D mini cube, and it was quite expensive as I recall. Don't think I feel a need for this one.

It wouldn't be the first time a movie plot twist got spoiled by its merchandise.

Looks fun. I've always enjoyed cubes, and have used a ton of the various oozes in my old school games. I played in a 1975-style game a year or two ago in which gelatinous cubes were terrifying, and killed multiple PCs and hirelings. When we finally killed one there was much rejoicing.

I also finally watched Onward last night, and it was fun to see one there.

You know what this means: I'm going to have to stat up a gargantuan gelatinous cube 30 feet on a side to throw at my players.

No, it got her two. Shes just invisible.

 

[MNblockhead]

I'd better not buy it. I would not be able to keep myself from bringing it to work and annoying my coworkers by hiding their USB sticks and keys in it.

It would be cool if the cube is hollow, so that you put it over a mini, like an upside down cup, thus "engulf" the mini.

The cube IS hollow. You can put an action figure inside it with 1 arm poking out of the cube. Also, if I understand correctly, the cube is made out of 6 parts, so you could do the upside down cup thing.

Is it intentional that the artwork looks like Chris Pine being engulfed? I'd almost think it's a preview of a scene from the movie, but presumably he wouldn't survive it if that actually happened.

 

[DarkCrisis]

$35 for a plastic cube.

Nah, I'm good.

It's absolutely intentional. The recent trailer for the movie may shed some more light on this for you, if you're not opposed to spoilers.

In the trailer, he dives into a gelatinous cube to avoid a displacer beast. Depending on his HP, he could survive I suppose, if he had help getting back out.

Are you sure you've played D&D? Oozes are brutal and iconic. I can't imagine playing D&D for six months and not running into a few. They have a pretty awesome attribute of having vague enough ecological requirements to fit into almost any underground environment that isn't completely sealed off, which makes them really nice in terms of suspension of disbelief when designing dungeons, and they also massively scale to level due to a lot of them having level invariant abilities that are always threatening which makes them a great tool in the toolset regardless of what level you are designing for.

 

[Nathaniel Lee]

I'm more interested in learning more about these 6" Dungeons & Dragons action figures they're talking about putting into the cube.

 

[LordEntrails]

Is this the thing you didn't know you needed?

Almost. What it did make me realize is the thing I need that I never knew I needed is a recipe for an edible gelatinous cube!

I mean obviously gelatin, maybe lemon jello even. But what little edible trinkets can one get or make?

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

Looks pretty cool. And at six inch scale, it'd be a great gargantuan ooze!

I've used gelatinous cubes plenty of times in my games. And when I ran Out of The Abyss, Glabbagool was absolutely a group favorite.
