Tumbler Toy/tilting Toy, Roly-poly Baby Toy "Nevalyashka" with Sound, Small 6.25"/16cm (001)

Tumbler Toy/tilting Toy, Roly-poly Baby Toy 'Nevalyashka' with Sound, Small 6.25'/16cmThis is a good classic toy that works well. Like many toys of Soviet epoch, it works well and durable but could look a bit better aesthetically. The outline of the eyes (eyebrows, eyelashes and outer eye) are painted in slightly fuzzy strokes (effect similar to low-resolution printing) looks like someone used too fuzzy of a brush for what needs precise lines. Also, the "whites" of the eyes are not white, but yellow, the same color as the skin, which gives the toy a less-than-healthy look. Also, the overall facial expression, while looks smiley at the picture, is not very happy upon closer inspection. My son, who at this point had it for 6 months (he is 15 months) occasionally plays with it for a short while, but not very much. I'll upload the closer shot of the face when I get around to it so that you see what I'm talking about...
