“Odd time of year for this to appear, but gorgeous nonetheless. I’d suggest you all buy this either as a belated Christmas present for yourself or as a backup for December for the other significant puzzler in your life. Hopefully you can hide it long enough and still remember where you put it. It’s quite pocket size – perfect for your own Christmas stocking There are already 3 little legs in the stocking and 2 outside To get them all in, as with many of Osanori-san’s creations, you’ll need to do some twisting, but the box has very narrow tolerances and pieces can only rotate in certain ways (even if the box is empty). legs then get significantly worse than usual, I’d suggest you do it the other way round – find out how they can be packed and then see if the pack is removable to help you on your way, but it still takes more thinking©. Gravity can be helpful at times and less so at other times – there’s very little room to poke your finger inside. Planning is everything in this one!“
