Kikkerland MxyKikker Windup, Colors may Vary

Très satisfaite de mon achat qui m’a fait retomber en enfance. Le mécanisme est intéressant et est bien plus élaboré que ceux que j’ai connu

Arrivato un po’ in ritardo ma siamo stati avvisati che c’erano problemi e che era stata organizzata una seconda spedizione. Giocattolo veramente fantastico, gli ingranaggi sono di plastica fosforescente al buio, più resistenti di quelli in metallo di altri articoli dello stesso produttore, che in poco si usurano. Ipnotico, vintage.

'am getting ~ 15 -18 feet with a full windup on a flat surface. Mine pulls a bit to the left. It is remarkably agile and tenacious.

Geschenk, ist witzig! Tolle Idee, ist auch etwas fuer Erwachsene, nur wenn es umkippt, dann ist es am Ende!Ein wenig zu langsam.....

I bought two of these Kikkerland wind-up toys for my husband's birthday this year; this one and Awika! who on appearance are very similar save for Myxkikker's longer legs and Awika!'s sparkiness.Hands down, Myxkikker is my favorite - and the kids' favorite too (I couldn't resist giving them a preview of dad's new toys). This wind-up has just the right amount of insectile creepy-coolness that I'd hoped it would; it's every bit the giant leggy arthropod you'd expect it to be. I dare say it's almost cute.Myxkikker's about twice as long as Awika! at nearly 7" in length. While Awika! struggles to make its way over things like wrinkles in the bedsheets, Myxkikker forges ahead, those super-long antennae bobbing about as he goes. If he hits an obstacle he can't overcome, he flips and keeps going.A single wind (you wind this creature by turning one of the middle legs around) gets a fair amount of distance, considering its complexity. And, of course, you're treated to a view of all the internal gears and the flywheel which set Myxkikker in motion.Though you can't choose color, mine is similar to that which is pictured (except mine has red-tipped antennae). I was pleased with the one I received, especially since I've discovered that the gears are all made of glow-in-the-dark material. Don't know if this is true for all color variations, or better yet, if you'd ever find yourself playing with this thing in a dark room, but it seemed worth mentioning.In any case, if you're undecided on which of these Kikkerland wind-ups to purchase, I guarantee you can't go wrong with this one.
