Teacher Review

This curious metal wind-up rendition of a duck riding on a tricycle has a small silver label on the back. "For collectors, not for children" is the message. A wind-up key on the side revs up the 8-inch tall duck to travel in circles pedaling his tricycle while his three-winged helicopter hat spins around. All painted metal with the exception of rubber tricycle wheels; there are many possibly sharp edges that could cut little fingers. With little or no educational value, Duck on Bike is a collector's item made in China for the wind-up toy collection of adults or at least mature, older children ages 12 and older. --Lair Showalter, mother and elementary school teacher

5.0 out of 5 stars "Nothing Says Christmas like . . . ", January 21, 2006

This review is from: Schylling Wind-Up Duck on Bike (Toy)

I first saw the Duck on a Trike at a friend's house. His assistant had given it to him and said, "Because nothing says 'Christmas' like a duck riding a trike." I had to have one.

My wife and I enjoyed it so much, we gave them to friends and family with children and they just went nuts. The safety message is no joke as these toys are just stamped steel and they do have a spinning propeller. That said, with a bit of adult supervision, my six-year-old cousin can operate it safely. There are different quality levels out there but all seem to function at least fairly well on smooth surfaces. The Duck is a hoot at Christmas and is good fun in an electronic toy world.

I have a similar toy I bought in Germany decades ago. As I didn't want my child playing with it, I was glad to find this similar item. It is REALLY cheaply made. It does not run smoothly and it is not connected well. There are many sharp edges at the seams and tips. Sad really. How hard would it be to put the thing together properly?

I bought this for my son. It looks nice on the Amazon website. However, when I received the real thing I was deeply disappointed. It is made of cheap iron pieces and not very sturdy overall. The wheels are crapy and because of the light weight this toy could not run properly on most surfaces including glass and carpet and waxed harwood floor. This piece of junk was made in China. I came from China. Believe me, things like this would only sold for less than 1$ in China. I dont know why when this kind of stuff imported to US and sell for ten times more. Because people in American are rich and stupid? I dont think so. Amazon should reconsider the price. 15$ is really a robbery.
