Landline phone.
Looks great.
The plastic it was in was sealed, but I figured people will wonder if the phone actually works, so I opened it.
Comes with the styrofoam packaging and user manual. No outer box.
The phone part works. Sounds good.
So, it does work as an actual phone.
If you flip the switch to put it in "animated" mode, the ring around the globe spins. And that's it. Also, that somehow affects the use of the phone. I called the phone from a different phone, it rings, I hang up the other phone and don't answer the M&M phone... and the M&M phone keeps ringing. Amusing. The animation being stuck must put it in some kind of electronic loop.
If the animation switch is turned off, there's no animation, including no ring around the globe spinning. But the phone works fine as a phone. So, as-is it can be used as a cool-looking actual phone.
There's a youtube fix-it video of exactly this problem of the globe ring spinning and that's it. A little part of a plastic gear gets worn or broken.
Can deliver to Neenah or so depending on the day.
