Egg #127: Mshrm, Mrl, Mrchl

Egg #127 is the second in a series that started back with Egg #22. It's the ‪Cooole Fadenbeisser‬ series of little spring-loaded figures whose mouths clamp onto shoelaces. As I said last time: "You push down on the spring-loaded device and his mouth-hole opens up, which you then feed a string through. You let go of the clamp and he grips on tight."


This little guy's name is Morchl and his head thingie appears somewhat mushroom-like. In German 'Morchl' doesn't translate to anything but 'Morchel' translates to 'morel', which is a type of mushroom! So mushroom you are, you unfortunate threadbiter!


There is only one left to get in the series after this. Even though this requires no assembly I think it's a very neat little Kinder surprise since it's interesting and you can actually use it (even if nobody above twelve or so would be prone to.)
