Can anyone please help?
We have 3DC, and a tradition is to have a really interesting wind up toy in their stocking each year. Then after Christmas, we put them in the Christmas Eve box, ready for next year to get the load of them out on Christmas Eve, and have a laugh setting them all off, and now for DS (14) a bit of nostalgia ("Remember that one! That's from when I was about 3!) It's a really sweet part of our Christmas.
These aren't the boring normal ones, like the chattering teeth, or those racing santa/reindeer/snowman things, which just jitter or shuffle about. We've got monkeys riding bikes whilst clicking cymbals, dancing dinosaurs shaking tails and gnashing teeth in santa hats, shiny somersaulting penguins which flap one wing, then the other, then off they go!
I used to get them from a nearby independent toyshop...which closed during COVID. I struggled last year and got these tin affairs (frog, chicken, mouse etc) from Amazon, which weren't particularly special and broke within a couple of days. The ones on Amazon now, are all the bog standard ones, or more of the tin.
I've found what I used to get, but sods law they're in the US and can't find anything here.
These are the things I'm after, just that bit more special, they used to be about a tenner each from the toyshop:
are the ones I'm looking for www.tintoyarcade.com/z-wind-ups-collection
Anyone know of anything similar?
Thank you xx
