MxyKikker Windup Gear Box by Kikkerland
Kikkerland MxyKikker Windup Gear Box
Kikkerland MxyKikker Windup Gear Box is collector novelty item. MxyKikker, celebrating 15 years of Kikkerland's foundation, and 15 years since the first Critter was sold at MXYPLYZYK in New York, is an inspiration from our climbing windups, Bonga and Awika, but with long legs, and more radical ascending capabilities. The key system is different as well, incorporated into the center, right set of legs, marked on the hub by a coil icon, and an arrow. It works by rotating those legs backwards, with one finger until the spring is fully wound. MxyKikker does some fancy climbing, and it walks upside-down if needed. Designed by Chico Bicalho.

Chico Bicalho
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.

Suggested Use
MxyKikker is a tongue twisting, multi-legged, multi-purpose, commemorative windup, celebrating the 15th year of Kikkerland Design's foundation. To wind MxyKikker, rotate the center right set of legs (marked by a coil symbol and an arrow on the hub) backwards, all the way without forcing the spring. MxyKikker loves to climb over objects and it, sometimes, enjoys galloping upside down, with its eighteen fidgety feet. To keep MxyKikker always active, an occasional bit of spray lubricant is recommended.
Warnings
This is not a toy and not for children less than 14 years of age.
- Please retain packaging for future reference
