Actions include raising left shoe, both hands move left and right to simulat...e shoe shining. Simultaneously he bends his head forward and down to "see" what he's doing. At the same time a puff of mechanical smoke is emitted from the metal tube in his mouth. The left leg is hinged so that it too moves from the wagging of the other three limbs. Of course, the bell in his left hand rings with his shining action. Needs some oil to make smoke (not included)
