It looks like a privately made 3D computer model if you're referring to the red klicky.
The video on the same page is interesting. It's from 2011 and shows the factories in Germany and Malta.
17,000 tonnes of plastic a year being used and 400 million klickies a year being produced back then.
Good fun to those visiting Malta next, it will be interesting to see how many they produce now.

Yup, failing eyesight, the result of too many push-ups?

I agree with Klickteryx, it looks like a poor 3D computer model.

That video was quite interesting, despite some idiosyncratic pronunciations ("Horst Brandstodder" for example).

I think that they've wanted to fill the vertical white space on the left and so have manipulated a klicky image, but not very well.

It almost looks like one of those knockoffs, even though it isn't.

Right, like a cross between a klicky and a Playbig.
