The Critters are wind up toys, serving absolutely no purpose at all - other than to make you smile. Perfect for the desk top of an individual needing the occasional lift, their exposed wind-up mechanism bodies and the resulting frenzied dance are sure to induce good humor where ever they are found.
To explain further, read this note from Chico Bicalho, designer of the Critter.
"Here are some tips to enjoy your wired four-legged friend and get the most fun out of its fidgety existence.
Cranky holds cards, memos, photos... anything that needs a good shaking up.
To wind up Critter, hold it in one hand, keeping the counterweight from spinning, while turning the key with the other hand. Critter works best when all four booties are touching the ground approximately 4" (10 cm) left to right, and 4 1/2" (11.5 cm) front to rear. The legs may be adjusted by gently bending the wire near the body. If it falls over too often, bend the legs slightly apart until Critter becomes steadier. If it's not active enough, adjust the legs closer together.
Every once in a while, a bit of spray lubricant will keep the engine revving like crazy. Critter's favorite performing surfaces are marble tables or thin carpets; essentially any level surface will do. What it really loves is to tap dance on a pool table with other Critters. Two or more Critters together make a Critter-jitter party.
Enjoy,
Chico
