Jumping Rocket

Jumping Rocket

Jumping Rocket is a tin, wind-up robot, manufactured in the early 1960s by Yoshiya. Jumping Rocket is very small, but very cute (the rocket is 6" long, overall height is about 4 1/2", and the robot is 2 1/2" high). It moves around with a wild jumping motion (thus the name), while wildly flailing its arms.
