Flying Dragon Wooden Kit

Automata are whimsical mechanical toys that have a cool, life-like movement when their crank is turned. This dragon flaps its wings, kicks its legs up and down, while the head, neck, and tail move in a graceful motion as it soars through the sky.

Dragons have long captured the imagination of people around the world. In early legends with the likes of Typhon, the deadliest monster of Greek mythology, to the modern-day dragons lie Saphira from Eragon, Smaug in The Hobbit, we have loved and reviled dragons for their loyalty and fierceness. This automaton brings centuries of dragon lore to life in a cool 3D moving model.
