Jumping pecker (glow) - gags discontinued by Pipedream - review by Lady Neshamah

This little thing is so stupid and silly that it's almost fun.

I was given this at my bachelorette party about a month before I got married. My girlfriend at the time thought it would be really funny to give this to me. And it was great fun at that party. It was priceless to watch the boys play with it across the night club's dance floor. They had more fun with it than the girls did.

It stands about two inches tall and really does glow in the dark very well, but you have to hit it with a lot of very bright light for a long time to get it to glow for more than a minute or so. But, leaving it out in the bright light will get it to really glow for a while; and it is kind of fun to see a pecker hopping across the bar or dance floor when you are drunk - if you can actually see the thing.

It hops about like any hoppy wind-up toy that you would get as a kid - little hops - and it will run on a full wind-up for close to a minute, maybe a bit more. Think of those little pink bunny wind-up toys that you would get as a little kid for Easter or spring holidays, and that's about how the thing moves.

It is very breakable and won't last through much use and abuse. Mine was dropped one time and now it won't hop when you wind it up to use it. One of the little gears in it broke, I think. Just be careful with it at parties; it doesn't take much to really kill the little thing.

It's fun, but the fun and amusement only lasts for so long. It's great for a party if there is booze around or if you have people that think this kind of thing is very funny.

My Jumping Pecker (glow) died. It finally broke. Something in the winding/hoping mechanism broke and it won't do it's silly little dance anymore. :(
