The power of the underwater motor is transmitted from the gearbox to both legs, and the legs move alternately to move forward. On the water, the penguin lifts its head and swims with its flippers (wings). Moreover, by changing the direction of the rudder on its belly, it can turn left or right. All the necessary parts are set in the box, and only screwing and fitting are required to complete the model. Includes stickers with beak, eyes, and body pattern. Uses 1 AAA battery (sold separately). The underwater motor gives this popular character a lively run, and he swims easily in the water. When in the water, he lifts his head and swims with his flippers (wings). [Penguin movement] The motor's rotational motion is converted into a reciprocating motion by the crankwheel, and the penguin moves forward with its flippers (wings) and feet. When the penguin enters the water, it automatically lifts its head. [How to turn] By moving the rudder on the belly or the limiter on the flippers (wings), the direction of movement can be changed either on the ground or on the water. [Turning on the ground] By changing the direction of the belly rudder, you can turn left or right. Information is current as of April 10, 2024.
