Amazon Warrior


Size: 7.5 x 6 x 26 cm
Crank mechanism

It was unknown for a long time: The matriarchal organized ancient people of the Amazons mastered in a perfect way the fighting methods of the Far East. With a standing jump the female warriors threw down their male adversaries who were helplessly left to their mercy.

The handle moves a crank slider. The free end of this lever is fixed to the figure and carries out an elliptic motion. The result is a jumping movement. Arms and legs are moved by strings which tighten during the jump.
