Product Description

Pintacuda is a spin off from the pull string series. The propeller key gave Pintacuda a tropical 1950's racecar driver feeling, since its name is originated from an Italian ace from that period. Pintacuda has legs in different heights, which allows him to hop peculiarly, as if it intends to take off in a hurry. The propeller key can be wound with just one finger, turning in a circular motion, or, by using both fingers as you would normally wind up a clock. You can slightly change Pintacuda's behavior by bending the wire legs gently near the body or the knees. Colors are assorted, we pick color based on availability. Made of zinc and steel with plastic feet.

I bought several different windup toys at once. When I got them, I noticed they had a size difference. Pintacuda is the biggest. The drawback of being big is that it takes more energy to make it move and sustain its motion. The time I spend on winding it up is more than the time I can enjoy watching it dance. But still it's a bundle of fun and sets my desk apart from those boring ones of my coworkers.

Pintacuda I got is wearing black shoes. I wish they had sent me one like in the picture.

This was for my husband so I wasn't looking for anything with educational value. I bought one for him a few years ago and he really liked it so I have continued to buy them. They are great for everyone, regardless the age. We love these toys!

Fun toy- I have it in my office at work. People are always asking what it is and think it is hillarious when it dances around my desk.
