MJI 13090 Moving Mechanical Lion Building Block Set – Ages 12+

King of the Jungle. Star of the Shelf.

Know someone who would rather build something brilliant than unwrap another predictable present? The MJI 13090 Moving Mechanical Lion Building Block Set gives them a detailed project to get their paws into, followed by a mechanical display to show off.

White panels, gold-coloured accents, silver-coloured mechanisms and transparent elements create a steampunk-inspired lion with plenty of personality. Assemble it, turn the crank and watch its four limbs move in a walking-style action while it stays proudly supported on its stand.

A Gift for Builders with a Wild Side

A fun birthday or Christmas choice for builders aged 12+, animal lovers who enjoy construction sets and fans of visible gears and clever mechanisms. The build is part of the gift, and the finished model offers something much more interesting than an ordinary ornament.

• Put those paws in motion: A linked mechanism animates all four limbs on the raised display stand.
• Peek beneath the panels: Exposed gears and linkages let them watch the mechanics at work.
• Give it some attitude: Pose the head, open or close the jaw and bend the jointed tail by hand.
• Light up the details: Two flank-mounted light modules illuminate the translucent and open-chassis sections.
• Make room for a new pride: The sculpted mane, clawed paws and metallic-coloured detailing create an eye-catching shelf or desk display.

Hands-On or Motor-Powered?

• Hand Crank: Turn the handle on the stand to operate the limb mechanism manually. The electric motor add-on is not included with this option.
• With Electric Motor: The compatible motor add-on drives the mechanism automatically while the lion remains on its stand.

This is a moving display model, not a free-walking toy. It does not travel across the floor. Head, jaw and tail adjustments are manual and separate from the driven limb movement.

Before You Gift It

Assembly is required, including careful alignment of the linked mechanism. Suitable for ages 12+ only, not younger children. Battery requirements and whether batteries are supplied are not yet confirmed, so check before gifting rather than assuming they are included. Follow the supplied assembly and power instructions.
