I have a thing for Kinder Eggs. I find it amazingly entertaining to put these things together following mini-instructions. The more pieces the better. Oh my god, I’m such a nerd. WARNING: These are very small and probably NOT suitable for small children. That’s why Kinder Eggs are difficult (though not impossible) to find in the states. There is concern that the toys or parts might be “swallowed or inhaled” by some crazy child that likes to eat “plastic candy” and/or snort playthings …joking, I like children! Anytime someone was going on a trip out of the states I’d tell them to pick me up a couple Kinder Eggs. That left me with a ridiculous collection of toys.
This chariot as originally had a warrior that rode in it, but somewhere along the road he went missing. He wasn’t cute anyway. He was flat. The exciting bit about this and some other kinder toys is that you can make it move. When you push the wheels along one horse moves in front of the other then back again.
The car was far too easy to put together, but cute. As a side note: I’ve noticed a decline in the quality and intricacy of the toys over the years. What a disappointment–just like the lame Cracker Jack prizes of my lifetime (they were significantly more worthy of the word “prize” back in the day).
