About Pocket Ninja Leikur
Pocket Ninja er samanbrjótanlegt leikfang hannað til að þjálfa færni og lipurð. Leikurinn mælist 70 millimetrar og kemst fyrir í vasa, svo hægt er að nota hann heima, í ræktinni eða á ferðalögum. Pocket Ninja kemur ósamsettur og leikmenn setja leikinn saman úr meðfylgjandi hlutum og leiðbeiningum, líkt og þrívítt púsluspil. Formaðir gripfletirnir styðja við æfingu sem kallast DYNOs, þar sem leiknum er kastað og gripið með tveimur fingrum á meðan gripstaðan er breytt. Leikurinn er framleiddur á Ítalíu með sprautumótun.
