Description
This shark pull back toy packs plenty of character into a pocket-sized body. Its back is a deep charcoal grey that fades to a white belly, with a tall dorsal fin, a sweeping tail and a wide-open mouth lined with rows of white teeth set in red gums. It measures 12.2cm long, 5cm wide and 4.5cm tall, small enough to sit in a palm yet detailed enough to look the part on a shelf. Two small black wheels sit tucked beneath its fins, so it rolls along on its belly.
Playing with it could not be simpler: draw the shark backwards, let go, and the pull back mechanism sends it rolling forwards on its own. It is the kind of toy that gets picked up again and again, whether for a quick race across the kitchen table or a few idle minutes at a desk. We like it as a cheerful desk companion, a fun addition to a collection of sea creatures, or a light-hearted present for anyone fascinated by sharks and life under the waves.
It is made from PVC, ABS plastic and metal, and its colouring picks out the shading along its flanks, the dark eye and the red of its gums. It weighs very little, so it is easy to carry about in a bag or pocket. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and let it dry, and keep the wheels free of fluff and grit so they turn freely. We think it slips neatly into a gift bag or sits happily beside a favourite book about the ocean, ready for the next race.
