The Kinder Surprise Experiment

Location: If looking toward Arctic -> left of Atlantic

The opening of second half-yellow half-orange capsule is not brining greater joy to this experimenter than the one that was the result of Zeroth Experiment.
But alas! This is scientific work - success and lovely results cannot be expected always.

So, to the contents we go. And notice once again that the pieces are very simple - yes, there 6 altogether (improvement over previous analyzed case), but quantity does not mean quality. These pieces are very simple and big - and even if there were no instructions how to assemble them one would be able to realize the correct set-up in no time; this statement does include kids less than 8 years of age.

Stickering. Yes, this time around there was some to be done, just like in the good old days. The eyes of the rabbit were the specialty, and with amazing rush I jumped toward thee. Are they crooked or not, I do not know.

Toy in its finality. As the title suggest, this is nothing more than a gnome on a rabbit. Whoop-ti-du. But, I might be too harsh - I remember some cartoons that had such characters, and they were sitting on the little animals for their little rides. But I also remember safety issues being taken care of - some sort of a belt would be appropriate, and not teaching kids that it is ok to sit on a jumping thing and just ride off with no belt!!! Also - and this is most important - the gnome is orange; why!? And are there orange gnomes out there. Totally orange. I simply doubt that. Hence, I must conclude that this was just pure manufacturing - no care of the details. And that is quite shameful.

Toy in action. Well, according to very well constructed diagram, the idea behind this toy is that one is supposed to hit a button (i.e. the tail of the rabbit) and that the rabbit + unmoving (but waving) gnome are supposed to jump forward. This however does not happen; no matter how many times it is tried. Yes, some circus acrobatic do occur, but no forward motion has been established in more than 10 tries.

Series. There are other 2 gnomes riding their own animals/insects. So I guess that is why this orange one is waving - to his blue and pink buddies. Strangely unappealing.

The final verdict. Due to the fact that gnome-animal combinations are available in cartoons, etc. does not make this an allowable toy, but it does give it reality credit - it is not an altogether nonsensical idea. But, all other factors (cumbersome pieces, colour scheme used for the gnome, safety hazards, etc.) force it to be considered as not so fun. And that is the basic need of the Kinder Surprises. As such, this toy gets 3.5 out of 10.
