Whether you’re into vintage aviation or maritime adventures, or looking for interesting desktop decorations, this series offers something unique to build, learn from, and display— because who says physics can’t swing with style?

Why Build These Pendulum Toys?

Powered by gravity and designed to dazzle, the Sky Captain and Ocean Fisher tackle the concepts of potential and kinetic energy, balance, and motion in a highly engaging way. These toys are oceans apart from your ordinary desk pendulum, they’re a hands-on, mini-science experiment that will awe audiences (including you!).

The Sky Captain lets you soar on a red vintage biplane while the Ocean Fisher features a spirited fisherman and his loyal beagle.

Parts and Features

The Sky Captain 3D Pendulum Toy

ROKR Sky Captain DIY Pendulum Toy 3D Puzzle MCD01

The Sky Captain is a highly detailed 1:60 scale replica of the iconic 1930s Gloster Gladiator, a legendary biplane in the World War era. It has a striking red design and a yellow and black 3-blade propeller, movable rudder, and tail fins with dynamic action.

With 163 puzzle pieces made of wood and metal, this kit is beginner-friendly yet satisfying to build. Once complete, its pendulum system allows the plane to sway and tilt as if soaring through the skies.

The Ocean Fisher 3D Pendulum Toy

The Ocean Fisher, on the other hand, is a playful nod to the art of balance and perseverance. With 161 pieces, it features a wobbly blue and white dinghy carrying a determined fisherman, his loyal beagle, and a big catch hanging from his line.

The weighted ball mechanism ensures stability as the boat rocks gently on imaginary waves. Additional details like a rotating fishing rod, paddling oars, and a hidden sailing compass add to its appeal.

Both pendulum toys get their nostalgic hues from a multi-layered silk screen color printing technique, resulting in those retro-nostalgic colors that inspire us to be trendy time explorers.

Expect the Best from ROKR

Add to the priceless educational and entertainment value of the Gravity Swing Series is the quality that ROKR is known for. Every 3D puzzle kit is built with precise pieces that interlock seamlessly for accurate weight and balance. This guarantees that these pendulum toys will work as intended every single time, capturing the essence of a real flight experience in the Sky Captain and a high-seas adventure with the Ocean Fisher.

Hey look, the fun is not quite done. Each toy features a hidden secret: the Sky Captain includes a small storage compartment and the Ocean Fisher hides a sailing compass, adding an extra layer of discovery for curious builders.

Start Swinging, Soaring, and Sailing

The Sky Captain and Ocean Fisher pendulum toys from the Gravity Swing Series are not just puzzles; they’re dynamic, educational, and endlessly entertaining creations. Whether you’re assembling them for fun, displaying them as conversation pieces, or gifting them to someone who needs a good old belly laugh these days, these kits bring a unique blend of artistry, wit, and physics to the table.
