The Kung Fu Hamster is one of Gemmy's most famous toys aside from Big Mouth Billy Bass. It spins a pair of nun-chucks and sings a hamster version of "Kung Fu Fighting". He also twists and turns to give the allusion that he's really fighting. These were first made in 2001 and were one of the most popular Dancing Hamsters in the series.
