Name that Gamecube thing.

This is a picture from an ebay auction that has ended. The guy was selling his entire game collection at one time. The auction is long over and I'm not sure how the sale went for him. Here is my question. What is the small gamecube? It looks like a little gamecube on top of a normal gamecube. There was no mention of it in the auction description. Is there some kind of collectible that looks like a gamecube or a clone system? Anyone know what it is?

probably a promotional thing, my eyes went straight to that box of F-Zero GX on top

I don't think that it's a real cube because the controller ports are smaller than those from the original.

I think that's a cardboard model for shop, as emu_kidid pointed out.
I used to work at a game shop myself many moons ago and we had such a promo thingy... shame on me for trashing it in the bin after some years...

EDIT: ...although it DID have the same size as a regular Cube...

Well, I was able to find some images of cardboard display models that do look like it. As well as some 'gummie' candy boxes shaped like small gamecubes. I'm sure the candy in those things taste great. Much thanks!

I think it's a promotional stress reliever. They made them like the gamecube and gameboy advance. Basically vinyl coated foam.

EDIT
Nintendo should release a wii U version in the absense of software.

Could be a empty gamecube candy box ?

A friend of mine has a videogame store and has one, pretty sure it's a stress releiver, if someone is interested I can ask him if he wants to sell it.
