Cosmojetz - Wind-Up Hopping Desk Sculpture Review

Cosmojetz - Wind-Up Hopping Desk Sculpture

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!

A collector's favorite for years!Chico Bicalho was born in Rio de Janeiro and studied at an elementary school where the football field had trees throughout, because the school was against cutting them down. Later he moved to Petropolis, RJ, an area surrounded by the South Atlantic tropical rainforest. He believes in having a spiritual life, in freedom, and in peace; supports the theory that the earth is one living thing and feels that humans should understand nature, live with nature, and be equal to nature; received a BFA in sculpture from RISD and MFA in photography NYU; since 1995 has been working with a group of friends on reforestation projects replanting native South Atlantic tropical rain forest trees. Chico lives in Rio with his wife, a graphic designer/industrial designer called Isabella Torquato. He wants to keep traveling, making art, and planting trees.Kikkerland has scoured the globe and worked with the best designers worldwide to develop their unique, whimsical take on modern life and design. From crazy windups and cufflinks to striking wall clocks, Kikkerland's unerring dedication to quality and design guarantees your satisfaction, time after time. Why not add a desk toy or innovative lamp to your Moleskine order today?

Awika Wind Up (Colors May Vary) Review

I found this via the Kikkerland site a few years ago, and finally got one for my 5-yr-old daughter this Christmas. She loves it - it's silly, and it cracks her up (would not recommend it for a younger kid, though, because of the winding - you don't want to overwind, or wind backwards!). It was smaller than expected, and it does get gummed up from time to time (pet hair, etc.), but overall this is a cool little doo-dad. I'd love to have the whole set, if they were less expensive. Maybe one for every gift-giving occasion. See the Kikkerland site for very funny video demos (set to music).

Awika is stainless steel with PVC feet. She sparks and climbs over small objects when you wind her up! At only 4 inches long, there is never a dull moment! Test it with different small objects on your desk to challene it up and down barrieres. You can also let it climb over your hand, an open book, or, whatever elso is on your desk.

I have a collection of kikkerland "toys" and this is by far one of the most creative with the head dangling on a string as it dances to place its head back in place. it works best on hard surfaces. love this design - definitely one of my favorites.
