McDonalds Toy Review: 2011 Puss in Boots, Humpty Dumpty Sr. Fail.

I'm not sure what this toy is supposed to do. The instructions indicated one should pull on the legs, then push them into the body. It makes a clicking sound. Whoopie. The face is soft and pliable while the rest of the body is hard plastic leading me to believe that maybe Humptys expression is supposed to change when his legs are moved? Or maybe, like Humpty who fell off a wall, this Humpty is broke and all the Kings horses and all the Kings men...

Do you know how to fix it?

[psychoholicmadman]

@jesmika2011 To make it work as McDonalds showed it worked in their animation, no. It would take some major redesigning. Or, maybe someone with modeling expertise could cast the face in a softer silicone or latex, that would be beyond my abilities. I didn't show it in the dis-assembly but, there is what appears to be a mid-production run change in that the 'eye-brow' lever was cemented to its location on the face but the lower jaw lever was left unglued.

[psychoholicmadman]

Me again, perhaps if the lower jaw lever were glued in place on the face it might work the lower jaw better. However, I feel the motion imparted by the levers is also wrong and maybe could be better accomplished by some sort of bell-crank arrangement or, a pivoting lever rather than a sliding action.

Wash your hands every once and a while.

@ReallyRandumb , yeah, maybe I should wear a a glove next time. Humpty did not seem to mind. Mechanics hands tend to get stained. Mcdonalds french fry grease is an excellent degreaser. Un-fortunatley I did not have any at hand. And that thumbnail? That thumb was spilt in half down the nail in an oilfield accident back in 1983. Thats dirt embedded in the nail bed. Thankfully I still have my thumb and a deformed thumbnail to remind me.

Awesome vid! Way more enjoyable then the toy itself!!

@davio615xx Thanks for the compliment. I even visited Happy Meal .com to see how this works. They show only the eyebrow moving. Dis-assembly shows there is a part attached to the lower jaw that should be activated on a leg pull. In fact, there is even a spring inside the thing that serves no purpose, the clicker mechanism and the stiff face serve the same function of returning the legs to a 'neutral' spot. Obviously, McDonalds didn't even know how it was supposed to work either. :(

@gingymann upload how it works :0

@SophiaSoftpawsReal, it is the left eyebrow that is supposed to move and that is the problem, no one can see it move as it is more of a slightly detectable bulging. I can feel it bulge but, I don't believe this is a toy for the blind. BTW Kitty Softpaws is probably the best toy of the bunch, so far.
