Description

Yoh Kakuda is especially well-known for puzzle boxes that feature whimsical animal creations. Gentleman Crocodile is one of Kakuda’s best, perfectly coupling theme and puzzle.

Further, its solution is not only connected to its theme, but gives the solver an unexpected wonderful visual surprise along the way. All original packing material is included.
