FAQs
Is the Hoptimist a toy for small children?
While it is a fun, moving object, it is primarily categorized as a collectible decorative figure and should be used under supervision if handled by very young children.
Can I use it outdoors?
While rated for indoor/outdoor use, it is best kept in sheltered areas to avoid wind damage or prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays and rain, which could affect the finish.
What are the exact dimensions?
The figure stands 77 mm tall with a width of 58 mm and a length of 45 mm.
What is the Hoptimist made of?
It is crafted from high-quality Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic and steel.
Does it require batteries?
No, the Hoptimist operates entirely on a mechanical spring system and does not require batteries or power.
Troubleshooting
The figure does not bounce fluidly.
Ensure the surface is level and rigid; soft surfaces like thick carpets can absorb the energy of the spring.
The spring feels stiff.
Gently manipulate the spring slightly to loosen it, or ensure no dust or debris has accumulated between the coils.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply remove the Football Bumble from its packaging and place it on a level, solid surface. No assembly is required. To ensure the best performance, keep the base clear of debris to maintain proper grip. For care, wipe the figure gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth if it collects dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can dull the finish of the ABS plastic. Keep the spring free from excessive moisture to prevent rust over long periods, and store it in a temperature-controlled environment to preserve the elasticity of the internal spring mechanism.
