Pulling the lever expands it left and right, and pressing the side switch? makes it go "kasha" and up! I have checked the operation with batteries! It doesn't seem to be loading anything. It speaks cheerfully and the colors change! I'm not sure if I've captured all the colors, but please check the images. The batteries will be removed to prevent leakage, and only the main unit will be sent. There are no noticeable major defects, but there are small scratches on the body due to age! Please purchase only if you are satisfied with the condition after reading the description and viewing the photos. I will be lowering the price at my own discretion!
