Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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!

Here are some tips to enjoy your wired four-legged friend and get the most fun out of its fidgety, yet useful, existence. Cranky wants to help you remember stuff by holding cards, pictures, notes, reminders, whatever you can wedge in its little claws. He dances to get your attention, kind of like those women in boxing matches who show the rounds cards. Nevertheless, Cranky's action is more exciting when he's not holding anything, since he isn't a bodybuilder, and the weight slows the poor creature down. To wind Cranky up, hold him in one hand, keeping the counterweight from spinning, while turning the key with the other hand. Cranky works best when all four booties touch the ground approximately 2" (5 cm), forming a square from toe to toe. The legs may be adjusted by gently bending the wire near the body. If he falls over too often, bend the legs slightly apart until Cranky becomes steadier. If he's not doing the samba, adjust the legs closer together. Every once in a while, a bit of spray lubricant will keep the engine revving like crazy. Cranky's favorite performing surfaces are marble tables or thin carpets; essentially any level surface will do. What he really loves is to tap dance on a pool table with other Crankys. Two or more Crankys together make a very flashy party. Colors are assorted, we pick color based on availability.
