It is very clever indeed, I fell in love with the earler version too.  The footage on ice is amazing!

aww, i love the way he brings his knees up high when he walks, i want one to take for walkies xxxx

i love the way they regain their footing when pushed.

Haha! Now that would be an adventure! I bet it would cause a few pile-ups as drivers will be wondering what on earth is making its way down the street.

 Very strange but cool at the same time, I had a hard time getting used to the legs, they look so human like, like legs in tights...Also sounds like buzzing bees, but I would not want to come after me, they would never tire.

Wasn't just you, RWM - someone thought the same thing and did a very silly spoof!!

It sounds like a chainsaw to me. I think I would run from it too, Redwoods.
