MOBO toy-toise leads them all
There's no winding, and no clockwork to fiddle about with. Any child can make the MO80 toy-toise go by simply squeezing and releasing the little grip at the end of the control wire.
Stearing is simple too--merely a matter of varying the squeeze on the grip. It's all clearly explained on the gally-coloured presentation carton.
And does he go? With Johnny or Sue in control he'll scamper across the floor, toddle outdoors up hill or down dalo, here, there, everywhere.
He's 11" long, 8" wide and 3" deep, and can take any amount of hard knocks --he's made of steel.
Made by the manufacturers of the famous Stak-a-bye Steel Furniture."
