This is the WacKy Worm Toy by Cragston & Vanda and developed by Reuben Klamer. Mr Klamer created The Game Of Life and was responsible for developing both the Television prop weapon and toy for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. series. He also developed Gaylord the Walking Dog etc.
Part of the WacKy Windups series, WacKy Worm is pure character, full of WacKy 1960s charm. Wind him up with the large metal key and he walks like a real caterp...illar, pushing forward, then pulls his back up and pulls forward again. His head, eyes, tail and antenna wiggle about and he makes a whirring sound from the motor. He is brightly colored plastic with a strong working motor mechanism and metal on/off switch.
The box art is something fantastic as well, apparently highly influenced by the Weird-Ohs font of the 1960s and bright colors of the era. The toy is in excellent and clean condition. He looks barely used. He displays great. The key is pretty much mint. The box displays very nicely with original cello window intact. The box does have some mild wear, most at the back with some tears some kid did long ago, not understanding that the side flaps are how you remove the toy. That bottom edge is detached. Still, it looks very presentable and comes from a smoke free environment.
