They sell these in wilkinsons in the UK. You can only get giraffes and flowers, but they’re paint your own and SO MUCH FUN. I’ve figured out how to make his neck bob up and down.

I used to work in an arcade at a theme park in Scotland. They have them there in the prize box. And the little peel-back doodle pads.

I had tons of these as a kid. We’d sit on the floor in church and play with them for the hour-long church service– I think I still have some!

I’ve been collecting them from this site for a few years now. They are exact replicas of the old-school wooden ones, and they have hundreds of animals to choose from. Soo good!

I saw them in the German village in Westminster or Santa Ana in So. California when I used to live near there, and they are in a school type store in the mall I live near now. also, I see them come up on Ebay once in a while.
as for shapes? I’ve seen lots of different ones. all the animals, many cartoon characters, some fantasy animals, people, you name it, it’s been created.

You can usually find the good ones in places like Frankenmuth, MI and other historic-type tourist towns. I know that you can get them in Frankenmuth and I’ve seen them other places like that recently.

In Frankfurt they sell them at the main trainstation, there’s some dude who’s got a lot of wooden toys for sale who sells them. I bought a few on my way back to the Netherlands after my job interview, I have since seen the guy again but since moving to Germany I don’t have the money to waste sadly enough

These are sold at a historic town near my own town (I live in Texas) that has a lot of pioneer/cowboy-esque history. There are old houses made into shops and one of the shops is owned by some nice German-family people…and theses are sold her. I like to make them snap and make sounds.

The best is telling kid not to play with and, when he eventually does and makes it collapse, watch them flip out.

My hubbie and I have two that we were given when we moved into our new house. I guess they are a staple to his family. I LOVE THEM.

I loved those too. I used to be surprised when you made them lean down and then they sprang up again.
