What you can't tell is that he's bouncy. The red pieces aren't metal, but rather a plastic laminate of some sort--nice-n-bendy. So when he's dropped onto a flat surface and all his legs make equal contact, he takes a good hop.
I am a huge fan of erector sets. When I was a child I received three different sets and I combined them all to create my own ski-lift like device for transporting gameboy game cartridges between my window and that of my neighbor.
I grew up with Erector sets (Mecano) as well, building the usual ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds, cranes, cars, etc. Since then, my instinct has pretty much always been to craft animals, mostly small. Don't know why that feels right now.
