The Ornithopter’s wings can fold out and actually “flap” using a clever mechanism. You can turn a dial to activate this, mimicking the aircraft’s motion in the film. It’s a standout play feature that adds a dynamic, swooshable quality to the model. The landing feet and rear ramp also retract with another dial, giving you the option to display it in flight mode or landed mode. When fully assembled with wings extended, it measures over 9 inches (23 cm) high, 22 inches (57 cm) long, and 31 inches (79 cm) wide.

I bought this for my 45yo brother (yes, we’re nerds). He was amazed by the complexity and structural strength of the build. The wings expanding and flapping is super cool. The counter locking gears is just neat. I knew it was big from the specs, but when I saw it in person, I was surprised–this thing is huge. I might buy one for myself now, too,” said one reviewer.
