Bribot's Mutant Toys

Wind-up toys made from salvaged parts

Week 1 – Walking Skeleton

Posted by britree on January 4, 2010

This skeleton is comprised of 4 different toys.  I took the gears from a pre-skool moving car, 2 different skeleton toys, and a walking monkey.  I forgot to take a picture before I destroyed the original toys.  Watch the video.  You can see that his head spins around 360, and that once wound, the skeleton wobbles and walks back and forth.  Ideally, I wanted the gear on the crank to move the head gears so his head would spin around when he was walking.  Maybe with my next toy, I will have more patience to figure it out.

    I love this project! It reminds me of the sid toys from toy story. I can’t wait to see more of these creapy and cool concoctions.
