Mechanical banks have been a category since the 1800s and most modern ones are lifeless plastic. This one has the thing the Victorian originals had: a small piece of theatre every time you use it. Watching it consume a coin is genuinely a bit unsettling, and unsettling is much stickier than cute. People pick it up, feed it, and hand it to the next person, which is why it performs so well in a room full of adults. It is also a functional bank rather than a pure ornament, so it doesn't feel like a wasted gift after the first evening.
