Love How it Morphs
by K. Groh (5 out of 5 stars)

I love desk art/gadgets. I wanted something classy to go in my new office with my new position. This was classy but fun. It rotates with a spin of the shaft and goes from a neat row of pieces to a broad 'leaf' tree with all the parts evenly spaced. I often have people asking me what it is and then playing with it. The first one I received was damaged but I was quickly sent a replacement. So far the replacement has held up to some basic use.

Fun and enjoyably mezmorizing

I don't really understand how it works, but it makes really fun shapes, is easily manipulable, and sits nicely in its wood holder. Perfect for a desk top, it truly doesn't take up much room.

Absolutely love it except the price. The suggested retail price was $36 from the toy fair show. $75 is lowest price I can find.

A bit pricey but nicely done

Awesome product. Makes a great decoration and wows when it's used. I think the price is high, maybe better around $40. It does have a metal stick and nice base. I think from looking at others this is just a better quality.

This is a beautiful piece of art as well as fun

This is a beautiful piece of art as well as fun. It seems a bit delicate so we do not allow children to play with it. I bought a plastic one for the kids to play with. It is pricy, but I think it is worth it as it is so beautiful.

This was a pleasure to open and enjoy. Slightly larger than expected and well crafted. Extra points for the fine job of packaging. I'm so glad I got this model and not the cheaper plastic version. Yes, I would recommend this item. Playable art indeed.

Well made, good quality materials.

Purchased as a Christmas present. I played with it when I received it and came very close to purchasing one for myself. The recipient says that it is a great distraction on her office desk during interminable conference calls, it is also a wonderful conversation starter. You can pre-position the "leaves" and watch for the visual patterns that it makes as it spins or you can just spin it and watch the patterns change. I many ways it resembles a 3-D, free form Spirograph for grownups.

Awesome

Playable art indeed! The helicone is a wonderful toy that continually fascinates despite its simple function. It's great fun to show to friends or to use in quiet meditation. Build quality is very solid and precise, although perhaps not to be treated carelessly. The action isn't as simple as in the video, but you'll get it with some practice - it's all in the wrist!

I bought this as a office fidget gadget gift. It's fun to watch. Little pricey though. The gift was well received.
