<< Verypuzzle had produced the Truncated Icosidodecahedron once in middle 2018 and sold out very quick. Recently , we have a small re-production run of ice green body in limited quantity, 100 pc. No doubt, it will be sold out soon. If wanna get one, be hurry! >>
Before this puzzle was presented there were face turning dodecahedra (12 axes), corner turning dodecahedra (20 axes), edge turning dodecahedra(30 axes), face and corner turning dodecahedra (32 axes)(although not in different shape) and face and edge turning dodecahedra (42 axes). Missing were corner and edge turning dodecahedra (50 axes) and all three hybrids combined (62 axes).
Truncated Icosidodecahedron fills the most ambitious slot and thereby jumping over the easier one. It has 62 rotatable faces. It is a 62 axis twisty puzzle technically shaped in truncated icosidodecahedron (links to wikipedia). It contains 12 decagonal faces, 20 hexagonal faces and 30 quadrilateral faces which turns 72*n, 120*n, 180*n degrees respectively.
This puzzle is functionally equivalent to a vertex and edge and face turning dodecahedron (VEFTD) which has never been in existence even in 3D printed version. The pentagonal stars were added to allow for easier twisting of those faces. The major challenge was to design the modular core.
