Metalkitor Steampunk Realistic Cannibal Flower

I was so excited when the Steampunk Realistic Cannibal Flower from Metalkitor arrive on my desk. The combo of model building, plants, steam punk and monsters, that’s basically all my favourite things minus chocolate. It is equal parts creepy and cool, like something you would find growing in a mad inventor’s greenhouse. The mix of different coloured metal parts and whirring gears gives it proper steampunk vibes, and once it is built it looks amazing from every angle.

Putting it together is half the fun. The metal pieces slot neatly into place, and the instructions are easy to follow, even if you are not a regular model builder. Watching the flower slowly take shape feels really satisfying, especially when you add the final touches and see how all the mechanical parts move together. It looks like it could actually bite down on something at any moment.

The materials range from stainless steel, alloy and copper, it feels solid and well made, with a nice bit of weight to them. The whole thing takes about 6-8hrs to build and is rated as a medium for difficulty. There at 800 pieces to assemble and you will end up with a spooky friend who measures up at 28 x 25 x 15cm and weighs 1200g. It is not one of those flimsy models that you are scared to touch once it is finished.

It also catches the light beautifully. Whether you keep it on your desk, your bookshelf or in a cabinet, it always draws attention. For some extra flare you can switch on the integrated coloured light that winds around the stem and into the mouth. The Metalkitor Steampunk Realistic Cannibal Flower is perfect for anyone who loves quirky designs, steampunk style or just unusual stuff that makes people smile. It is weird, wonderful and guarantee to be the most unique gift they receive this Christmas. RRP £139.99
