Wind Up Roaming Dino. Measures approximately 7cm long or high. Comes in four different dino designs and assorted colours. A random design and colour will be selected for your order.
Like all wind ups, these stomping dinos work by storing muscle energy in a spring coil. As you wind the handle, the tighter the internal spring/coil becomes (it has stored or potential energy). When you stop winding the spring/coil quickly unwinds, releasing the stored energy in the form of kinetic (moving energy), and off your dino goes.
