This four-legged Mechanical Pig shakes its head left and right as it walks.

Description

How it works

Motor rotation is transferred to the legs via crank plates and linkage rods, causing the Mechanical Pig to walk. Plastic rods on the front legs push the head left and right as the pig walks. The body is made from a transparent pink ABS resin that allows you to see the motor, gears, cranks, and linkage rods in action.
