I know very little about this toy aside from what you can see in the picture.
When wound the toy works perfectly. The hips move front to back, the arms move up and down, and the head moves side to side.
The pants and sleeves feel like a linen material. The shirt front and back feels like felt. The head has some sort of fake fur. The hands are plastic human hands. The legs are metal poles, and the shoes are metal.
Can anybody help me figure out what this thing is?
1960s Mechanical Monkey Maraca Player Tin Plush Wind Up Toy Japan made . Does he still work ?
lol I meant rabbit sorry
He did also come as a monkey exact same toy .
The toy works perfectly, and is incredibly creepy. I frequently use it to scare coworkers haha. I searched the name you put it and found similar stuff but nothing exactly the same. Any chance you have a link?

I wish we could post videos!
I wish I could post a video as well. I appreciate everybody's help. If he was worth a little more I might get rid of him, but he is worth at least $25 to me haha!
You can post video to youtube and share on site :-)
