I get the impression that it not only senses you and leaps at you, but it hangs from the roof. This would be a great toy if it wasn't a piece of cheap shit made with the intention of luring kids in with promises and then duly falling apart.
My Grandfather carved a wooden eagle for me, and I painted it. When it wasn't being used to attack lego men it was in the garden scaring away sparrows.
I think someone actually made one like 5 years ago, but I'm not little anymore and I try not to collect anymore stuff as I have no room for even a Birthday card.
That's a good looking one, I think the one I saw opened it's mouth and dilated it's eyes and made noise, but then again it could have been a homemade one.
I would force it to be my friend. I even liked it more than R2-D2, I guess I've always loved animals. Probably because I had a subscription to Ranger Rick back in the mid 70's and well into the 80's. Grandma always renewed it for me.
