The Kikkerland wind-up toys are reminiscent of the vintage Japanese wind-up toys of days gone by. Adults and children alike enjoy watching them spin around and/or crawl. The designs are even more fun and make all of the toys suitable for display. They really have an artistic feel to them. All of the visible moving parts make them fascinating.
This particular toy, SPARKLZ, was my son's first and favorite Kikkerland. The large over-sized windup key is cool. And, to watch the metal band get tighter and tighter as you wind it is intriguing.
When the toy is released, it runs around in circles, fast and crazy. The big bonus is the sparks that shoot off when the toy is in action. While some of the toys are almost too fast and some are a bit slow, this one is JUST right! |

The item picture is a bit deceiving as it pictures 6 windup toys with names you can't read without enlarging them. The item description says SPARKLZ which means nothing unless you are familiar with these toys so, I thought it was just the company manufacturing the toys.
There should only be a picture of the toy being sold and state others available, unless the point is to deceive new customers.
I bought this for a b-day present and thought there were 6 to divide between my twin G-kids. I couldn't give them just one and would have bought more if the description and picture was more honest. |

| These are fun little gadgets. I only tried them once before I wrapped them all up as xmas gifts. So far I have good reviews from the various 3-6 year olds they went out to. |
