A Highhoppin Hoom Dorn? What is it Jance? What did it do?
I don't think I've ever heard of one before.
In answer to your question David, it was battery operated..Looked rather like a giant spider. A round bulbous body, and green jointed legs. they attached to the round ball thing, and had joints like spider legs...It had some kind of a pnumatic device in it...and it would squat down low to the floor, and jump up in the air,,,you never knew how long before it would jump...kind of starteling.. then it would slowly sink down, and repeat that again,,,,etc
If this makes any sense at all....everyone loved it. Lots of fun and it drove the animals crazy...they never knew where to attack it or run....they didnt seem to be afraid of it tho.
