The Rubik's Bear is a 1x2x3 that is designed for little children. Its arms do nothing—they move with the center piece. The God's Number for this puzzle, as well as other 1x2x3 cuboids, is 6 moves. There are 48 unique arrangements. If rotating the entire puzzle 180 degrees in the X, Y, or Z axis is considered a different arrangement, then there are 192 arrangements.

One Devil's Algorithm that produces all 48 unique arrangements is ((TM,L)x11,T,L)x2. TM - Turn the top and middle rows together. L - Turn the left side. (TM,L)x11 - Repeat those two moves 11 times. After those 22 moves, rotate the top row, then the left side. Repeat the entire sequence for a total of 48 moves. To iterate through through 192 arrangements, execute the Devil's Algorithm, flip the puzzle horizontally, execute the Devil's Algorithm again, flip the puzzle vertically, execute the Devil's Algorithm a second time, flip the puzzel horizontally, and execute the Devil's algorithm a fourth time.

Sticker mods are available, which turn this puzzle into Kung Fu Panda or an Ewok.
