Product Description

Cranky wants to help you remember things by holding cards, pictures, notes, reminders, whatever you can wedge in its little claws, and, it dances to get your attention, like those women in boxing matches, showing the rounds card. Nevertheless, Cranky's action is more exciting when it's not holding anything, since it isn't a bodybuilder, and the weight slows the poor creature down. Sometimes, Cranky looks like a samba dancer enjoying carnival. Body and key colors are assorted, we pick color based on availability. Made of stainless steel with plastic feet.

5.0 out of 5 stars FUN FUN FUN! Great for your office desk, or your child, August 2, 2008

These little gear box wind-up toys (you can watch all of the action as it takes place - the toy has an "open" build) are soooo much fun. My son and I found these toys by Kikkerland while on vacation, and I decided to purchase them from Amazon. "Cranky" isn't as active a toy as several of the others in this series, but he can hold note cards, business cards, photos, etc., which makes it fun for a desk. My only recommendation to the company would be to consider adding a timer to Cranky... how cool would it be to have Cranky go off, and the note he is "holding" is the reminder for your next call or meeting? I really wish the photo of Cranky showed better colors. For example, my Cranky has red rubber feet and a bright yellow windup key. Very snappy! All of the keys and feet differ between the individual toys, so you never know what you'll get.

I bought two of the more active toys for my 8 y.o. son (Awika and Cosmojetz), and they've been a big success! I only recommend the toys for responsible children who do not beat up or abuse their toys. These are not Mattel or Playskool toys, but cool and fun? Yep, way more unusual and cool than your average toy. Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A little bit of poetry in a world of brutes ..., December 19, 2011

I live in Seattle where it is grey and cold half the year ... so some transient silliness spunkeling across the dinner table enthralls both myself and the diverse felines types that scatter about.
Thank you Kikkerland for allowing us adults to play shamelessly in style :-)

Wind it up and it dances around my desk. Fun to watch, and it can hold up a reminder note that I need to see later.
