Emir BardakçıGoogle has unveiled a new collectible that combines design, nostalgia, and the element of interaction. According to the latest reports, the official Google Store has launched Android a-MAZE-ing Collectible, a see-through Android mascot statue that comes with a 3D ball maze game. This particular gadget lacks the conventional functionality of standing still as an office decoration.
A Transparent Design Based on Interaction
The Android a-MAZE-ing Collectible is about 3 inches (7.6 cm) in height and comes with a completely transparent packaging case. By doing this, the transparent packaging case allowed the green maze within the Android to be visible from all perspectives. Google included in the Android figure a metallic ball that moved through an intricate path within the case, thus creating something that is based on functions rather than mere decoration.
The approach reflects a growing trend within the tech industry to experience things offline and by touch. Much like smart home devices or minimalist gadgets, the aim within these designs is to achieve simplicity, robustness, and long-term use without digital interaction, as seen with devices such as smart home controllers.
Classic Maze Game without Electronics
This toy figurine does not require the use of batteries, sensors, or software. In this game, the user controls the movement of the metal ball using the figure by tilting it left, right, up, or down in an attempt to guide it from the start point to the finish point within the maze.
In an effort to make the gameplay more flexible, Google has incorporated moving joints in the arms of the Android robot. With these, users can personalize the position in which they wish the maze robot’s posture to appear while solving the maze.
Key Product Features include:
- Fully transparent Android robot body
- Integrated 3D metal ball maze
- Movable arms with adjustable joints
- No batteries, charging, or app required
- Compact size suitable for desks or shelves
Pricing, Availability, and Stock Status
The Android a-MAZE-ing Collectible is currently available on the Google Store. The figurine costs $24 USD, but shipping in the United States will be about $10 USD, making it a total of $34 USD.
According to market information, the supply of units is limited. It was reported that towards the end of December 2025, only under 1,100 units were left.
A Tangible Collectible Item in a Digital Age
Though Xiaomi continues to expand its ecosystem in terms of HyperOS and smart home devices, Google’s Android figurine points to another direction where interaction has nothing to do with screens and connectivity. The product is targeted at users who prioritize focus and breaks in addition to their love for technology.
