Product Description

Cosmojetz is the last, and final item from the series of five products using the gearbox with a single spinning off-center weight. The idea here is to have an absolutely out of control creature, short circuited, disoriented, but, having a lot of fun in the process. Since the person who created Cosmojetz has severe ADD, perhaps we're dealing with a self-portrait situation here. Cosmojetz is a little hard to wind-up for mechanical/physiological reasons, but it is worth the effort once you see it catapulting itself weightlessly, and fearlessly across your table. 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, oh so fun. Great for adults and children, great gift!, August 2, 2008

These little gear box wind-up toys (you can see all of the action - 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. Cosmojetz is THE most active of all the Kikkerland gearbox toys, and boy is it exciting to watch! Wind it up and the little guy bounces everywhere! Don't set it near the end of a table or desk, or he may fall off and break. All of the keys and feet differ between the Kikkerland gear box toys, so you never know what you'll get - our Cosmojetz had red feet, others had white and black. Almost entirely metal parts, these toys will last forever if you/your child do not abuse them (e.g., drop, smash, etc.)

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

Absolutely loved it. My first Kikkerland toy. It moves around on a large area, great desk toy. Mine has black rubber on the feet and rest of it has just metal surface. Looks better than shiny colored ones and draws attention with its awkward shape. It can bounce around approximately 7-8 seconds. I recommend this product for gift purposes, especially if you're thinking of it for an employer, a teacher or just for family and friends who likes different entertainment.

I adore this little toy! I keep it in my office for when I need a little pick me up, and nearly everyone who plays with it starts laughing as soon as they see the spastic motions begin! I recommend this for kids 5-100+.
