Wind the key, release the brake, and it walks.
A 41.5 cm long wooden velociraptor that really walks: a spring you wind with a T-key, four levels of exposed gears, and two legs that mimic the predator's bounding stride. 189 pieces, no glue, with a stand shaped like a cracked egg.
A 3D wooden dinosaur puzzle that walks
The mechanism is fully visible: the T-key tightens a spring, a brake holds the energy, and when you release it, the gears and a connecting rod pass the motion to the legs. Textured pads give the feet grip for a steady walk. Once assembled, the raptor rests on its egg-shaped stand.
Who's it for? A dinosaur fan, adult or teen, who wants something that moves. A gift that wows once it's wound up. A first look at how gear mechanisms work.
Assembled dimensions: 41.5 cm long, 10.5 cm wide, 21 cm tall.

Does it really walk?
Yes, on a flat, smooth surface. Wind the key, release the brake, and the legs start moving.

No. Everything runs on the spring you wind by hand.
Is it difficult?
It's intermediate level: the gears need a bit of care when you line them up, and the instructions walk you through them step by step.
