Their cheerful artwork often drew on fairy tales and cartoon characters, like the forest animals and Kolobok seen here. Complete examples with all their original balls and a working plunger are a great addition to any Soviet retro toy collection, a fun find for pinball enthusiasts, or a nostalgic display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLesnye Druzya handheld pinball game\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 original white plastic balls (inside)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
