OWI Walking King Crab Kit - Solar Powered Info - Methodically, eight legs work in harmony to create a ballet style tippy-toe movement. Similar to its cousin from Alaska, the suns rays will make it scurry along to safe passage. If you were thinking about dipping its legs in melted butter and garlic, youd be disappointed with a mouth full of high density plastic. Walking King Crab is powered by a mini solar cell (included) and demonstrates alternative energy principles. No batteries required and less than thirty-five parts to assemble. Recommended for ages 9 and up.

Worth the price . I purchased this for my grand daughter for Christmas. We had a good time putting it together (it is a bit complicated) but she was fascinated by making it move by shining a flash light on the solar cell. Well worth the price for the benefit of building something with her.

Cons Review
Delicate to assemble solar panel doesn't work . This toy was very delicate to assemble and took an adult several hours to put together with a tiny screwdriver (which it doesn't indicate is needed anywhere and isn't included). Once put together the solar panel does not function unless held immediately and very closely under a light. While I bought this as a silly gift for my boyfriend (who loved the idea of it) and it was fun to assemble (mostly) it isn't the greatest toy and I definitely wouldn't recommend it for young children. I might have rated it higher if the solar panel had actually functioned since the rest of it was a fun design and idea.
The Crab is King . My 8 year old wanted this toy. She saved up her money. I was worried because there were a lot of little pieces. She needed some help with the tiny screws, but otherwise she was able to do this herself. It has held up to everything we've put it through, so far. It's been great to have hands on with solar power and one of it's drawbacks - shade.
Great item . My 11 year old, not only was able to build this in less than one total hour, but got it to work quite well. The instructions are very easy to follow, and could not be more clear. He had one little hiccup in the construction, by placing a gear the wrong direction, but he was easily able to correct it.
He has it running off of a 100 watt bulb currently, due to snow on the ground, but it is running quite fast. He is extremely eager to take it outside as he knows it will run like greased lightning.
