Jul 29 2010Somebody Does Have A Birthday Coming Up: Walking Dinosaur Pencil Sharpeners
Now I know what you're wondering, "Jesus, GW -- are you really posting this just so you don't have to bookmark the product page to find it again?" And yes, that is 110% why I'm posting this. That and I have a birthday coming up and I have yet to receive a single present. You better not disappoint me like you did last year aside, these are $8 wind-up walking dinos powered by sharpening your pencil. Technology -- it's come so far!
The Walking Dinosaur Pencil Sharpener is a classic wind-up toy that also sharpens your pencils.
As you sharpen, the twisting of your pencil winds up the dino for action. Pencil shavings are collected in the dino's head, which can easily be opened and emptied.Available in Triceratops (or Tri-tops, as they're called in the 'biz') and Stegosaurus (no cutesy name assigned yet).
Oh man, I can think of a thing or two I'd like to put in those dinos. Know what I'm sayin'? I'm talking about pencils. And, okay, my pens. Haha -- don't even act like you didn't misread, pervert!
Hit the jump for a couple more pictures and a video of the walking in action.
Thanks to Peter, who once tried sharpening a Twizzler.

They should make a pencil-saur. A dinosaur that writes out of his hoo hoo

FYI, dinosaurs have never existed! People like myself (the insane) know that God just recently buried these bones to mess with scientists. He did the same thing with prehistoric things like caveman and chelsea handler.

So that's what killed the dinosaurs....Lead Poisoning!
(Yes I know pencil lead is graphite but the joke doesn't work saying "graphite poisoning.")

it be neater if the mouth was the sharpener & the back end is where you deposit the shavings. Overall awesome concept for this toy.
