Looking like a helicopter this puzzle allows many more moves.

As the puzzle's name describes this puzzle is a hybrid out of the helicopter cube and a 2x2x2. This alone would be an awesome achievement but this puzzles allows even more moves than the hybridization alone supposes. This puzzle allows jumbling turns like the helicopter cube but due to some cuts externally invisible the jumbling turns can be stopped in midturn and other turns are possible. One such turn is seen in image 5.
Image 6 shows how one corner and one X-piece was swapped, possible because of the new internal cuts.
Tom van der Zanden's Curvycopter Plus uses the same concept but without the 2x2x2's axis system.
The price is for a white Do-It-Yourself-kit from shapeways.
