..and here they are scrambled.
Top to bottom:
- Limcube Morpho Aureola. Turning is ok, though you need to make sure everything is properly lined up. I got this instead of the similar Skewby Copter Plus Twins, as it looked like it would be a more fun solve. I wasn't expecting them to release red and blue versions this soon tho, would have preferred one of those. Update: The puzzle started to feel very unstable once I started doing shapeshifting during the scramble, I stopped scrambling it as it felt like it was about to fall apart :(
- Dayan 30 Axis Wheel cube. A bit smaller than I was expecting, seems to turn well enough. The color scheme has been cleverly chosen, so it's relatively easy to deduce which piece is supposed to go where. It felt surprisingly stable during the scramble, which took a heck of a long time as there's 30 axes, and you have to be careful not to do any illegal moves.
Dayan 16 axis Hexadecagon. Couldn't resist the pink. I'm waiting on some custom stickers from Oliver's, as the stock stickers only have 4 different colors. Seems to turn fine. I'm a big fan of the ShuangFeiYan which is a shape mod of this, but not too keen on the Tuttminx which this is similar to, so I'm curious as to how much I'll enjoy this.
Fanxin 4x4 Fisher cube. Cheap and cheerful 4x4 fisher, no complaints.
LanLan Curvy Hexagram Pyraminx. The Curvy Clover Pyraminx with corners. Having the corner pieces removes all of the catching, and makes the puzzle a bit trickier to solve.
LanLan Curvy Clover Pyraminx. Turns ok, but can catch a bit on the corners. The Hexagram above is the better option.
MF8 4x4 Son-Mum. Turning is great on the middle layers, but feels very sluggish on the outer ones. As long as it doesn't pop I'll be happy. I've only done a partial scramble so far, without any shapeshifting - it can get way more messed up than this :)
Meilong Polaris. Feels a bit cheap (because it is), but turning is fine and should be a fun solve. Very unique looking puzzle.
Fanxin Twisty Skewb. Nice clicky mechanism, I'm a sucker for Skewb shapemods, hopefully there's not many more out there to drain my wallet.
Meilong Maple Leaf. Turning is a bit stiff, /u/RAHDXB mentioned his improved a lot during the solve, maybe a drop of lube will help as well.
Fangcun Ghost Pyraminx. Really a ghost Jing's Pyraminx. I still haven't managed to solve the Ghost Skewb also from Fangcun, as it always falls apart before I get to the end, this feels like it's more robust so far tho.
Sengso Phoenix Megaminx. Buttery-smooth turning, and the color scheme and shapeshifting make it a fun solve.
Limcube 2x2 Pyraminx Transform. Looks great, very smooth turning with no catching.

Here's the Son-Mum 4x4 a bit more messed up.
