Product Description

Critter was conceived by chance, at the studio of a motion display company called Hankscraft Motors in NYC. It has a godfather called David Dear, creator of the fabulous Duck Mirror, the Rainbow Maker, and many other amazing products. The first four thousand Critters were made by hand, using a vintage Japanese gearbox from the 1950's found at a surplus store. The first place that sold Critter is called Mxyplyzyk, so, between Hankscraft, Mxyplyzyk, and Kikkerland, you get the idea what we're dealing with here. Essentially a no form follows no function object. Body and key colors are assorted, we pick color based on availability. Stainless steel with plastic feet.

This is truly unique! Adults and kids loved this toy! I bought it for my Asperger's child, age 6... he loves it! Gears and wind up... very cool and funny. They are pretty small (about 3 inches tall) but are very clever in their own right. Will be buying more for Christmas!

Few visitors to the office can resist winding it up and watch it jitter across the tabletop. These are really fun little mechanical beasts, much appreciated by engineers and children alike.
