foster's freeze premium: little foster wind-up

            I don't have much to say about this little fellow, except that it's another example of a good, cheap toy. The design's been maintained in an appealing way, and there's only three paint passes on one color of plastic. The sculpt's a little stiff, but still cute, especially considering the mechanical nature of the toy.  The biggest downside is the same of every wind-up - the winding mechanism is flimsy.  Mine was broken when I bought it!

I have no idea how old this is, or how it was sold.  I'm assuming it was given away at Foster's Freeze as a premium along with a specific food purchase.  I picked this one up at a toy show for just a dollar or two, so if you can find one, I doubt it'll be all that expensive.  There's nothing on eBay right now, so keep your eyes peeled!
