Everything about it stuns me. The crazy name, the weird graphics, the way it works and the funky psycho sound it makes. Here's a vid of it at work, notice how LONG it performs, and that was just from a few cranks!
I KNOW, right, so weird.... anyway, another greatly humorous thing about this toy made in China, is the warning label that it has:
1) Children is misspelled and 2) that sentence ALMOST makes no sense! You gotta think about it a little, ya know? It's almost like the box is PART of the fun! Anyway, I bought the last two (or only) on the shelf, they were like 6 bucks, thinking that I definitely had to have one at the office and I had to share one with someone. Funny how I haven't found the right person yet to give this to!

I sent my brother one of those for his birthday in 1987. I was doing my Junior year abroad in China. The picture on the box was the same, I think! But the label said "Gyral emitting musical toy."
So I always imagine in China, or where ever these mass produced crazy toys are from, that they just have WALLS of these available in markets and such. I collect robots, so if I ever get over there, I am totally buying tons of em cheap and shipping them back.
Heh, you said "gyral emitting musical toy", heh heh...
musta had more in the back!!! i love that thing!
