“Rocking Fellow” 1970s Chromed Desktop Balancing Kinetic Toy

As common as flares in the 1970s, figures such as this “Rocking Fellow” were found on many a desk or shelf as a novelty item. This one, most likely made by Mr. Man in Taiwan or Otagiri in Japan, is a balancing figure who rocks back and forth on a chromed podium via his weighted balance bar. The “Rocking Fellow” is one of a series of figures with varying balance and movement poses. The figure is in good visual condition. The podium has some pitting but is generally good, whilst the box is in reasonable shape bar some surface loss where some ill-advisedly applied tape has been removed. When assembled measures approximately 13cm high by 13cm wide.
