What you're actually buying
Nobody has ever pulled the cord once.
You pull it. He kicks. You do it again to check you saw it right. Then you hand him to the person next to you, and they do the same two pulls, in the same order, with the same face.
That is the product. Not a keychain — three seconds of something happening, on a desk where nothing else moves.
₹999 buys you a small, repeatable event.
The mechanism
One cord. Three things move.
The arms swing, the legs kick and the jaw drops — all off a single pull, all on articulated joints strung on metal rings. Let the cord go and he settles back to hanging, ready for the next one.
There is no battery, no switch, no app and no firmware. It works the day it arrives and it works the same way in two years, because the only thing that has to keep working is a cord and a set of joints.

The obvious question
₹999 for a keychain?
Fair. You aren't paying for a skeleton — you can buy a skeleton for two hundred rupees. You're paying for the bit that moves.
Articulated joints strung on metal rings rather than moulded shut, a cord that resets itself, and a clip that survives being moved between bags. That's where the money went.
The skeleton is cheap. The mechanism isn't.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| What happens when you pull it | Arms, legs and jaw | Nothing to pull | A light or a sound | Nothing |
| Joints | Articulated, on metal rings | One moulded piece | Usually fixed | — |
| Power | None. It's mechanical. | None | Cells that die | None |
| Gets handed round a table | Every time | Rarely | Once | Never |
| Price | ₹999 · ₹849 for two | ₹150–300 | ₹400–900 | ₹100–200 |
In the interest of honesty
Things Mr. Bones does not do.
01
No app, no batteries
Nothing to pair, nothing to update, no account to make and nothing to replace at the worst possible moment.
02
No second function
He does not open bottles, hold cards, or track anything. He hangs next to your keys and contributes nothing to the organising.
03
No sound
He is completely silent, which is the only reason he is allowed in meetings.
04
No expiry date
October is his busiest month, obviously. He is a skeleton for the other eleven as well.
A short feature list isn't a weakness here. It's the entire character.
Where he lives
Six places he earns his keep
On your keys
The first thing you hand over when someone asks what that is. Which they will.
On a tote
The clip is a proper hook, so he moves between bags without a fight with the ring.
On the desk
Hang him off a pen pot or a monitor arm. He is the only thing on that desk that moves.
Off a backpack
Visible from behind, which is the entire point of a bag charm and the reason the category exists.
On the car mirror
Where he does his best work, in traffic, for an audience of one.
Tied to a gift
Clip him to the neck of a bottle instead of a bow, and the gift quietly becomes two gifts.
Under a thousand, over-delivers
The one that gets opened first.
Secret Santa, a colleague's birthday, the friend who has everything and needs nothing. It ships gift-ready, it costs under a thousand, and it gets a reaction in a room rather than a polite thank you. Three or more drops it to ₹749 each.
Reviews
New in. No reviews yet — and we won't be inventing any.
Mr. Bones landed recently, so there is nothing here yet. A week after your order we send one WhatsApp message asking what happened the first time you pulled the cord. When enough of those come back, they will appear right here, names and all.
Until then, what stands behind him: free replacement if he arrives damaged, a photo within 48 hours, and a COD order we confirm on WhatsApp before anything ships.

The details
| What it does | Pull the cord — arms, legs and jaw move, then reset when you let go |
| Power | None. Fully mechanical. |
| Fitting | Clip and keyring — keys, tote, backpack, desk, car mirror |
| Not for | Small children — it has small parts and a cord |
| If it arrives damaged | Replaced free — send us a photo within 48 hours. |
In the box
One Mr. Bones. That's it — and it arrives in a box you can hand over as it is.

Good questions
Does he need batteries?
No. Pull the cord and the mechanism does the rest. There is nothing to charge and nothing to replace.
How do I use it?
Pull the cord below the figure to move the body, then let the cord run all the way back before the next pull so the mechanism resets properly.
Will he survive living on a bag?
He is built to be pulled, and the joints are strung on metal rings rather than moulded shut. He is still a small mechanical object though — if a joint or the cord fails early, message us on WhatsApp and we'll replace him.
Is this a kid's toy?
It's finished as a desk and bag object rather than a toy. It has small parts and a cord, so it isn't suitable for small children.
Is he only for Halloween?
October is his busiest month, obviously. He is a skeleton for the other eleven as well, and the white-and-black finish reads more anatomy-model than costume shop.
What if I pick COD and change my mind?
We confirm every COD order on WhatsApp before dispatch. Reply "cancel" and nothing ships.
