ABSTRACT:
The disclosed toy may be used for capturing an intended toy victim within a snare net sufficiently large when opened to fit over and around at least part of the victim. A carrier, shaped as a monstrous insect or the like, may be used for holding the net open while stalking the victim, for positioning the net over and down around the victim, and for releasing the net when desired to snare the victim. The carrier may have a body and a plurality of legs depending from the body in an array to fit at least partially down and around the victim. Corresponding free ends of the legs have means for receiving and removably holding the snare net, to hold the same opened. The net may be elongated and generally tubular in shape, having a closed end and an open end. Flexible elastic means at the open net end, may be stretched to the holding means on the legs; and when released, may resiliently close the open net end against and relative to the victim. Each leg may have a stationary portion and a movable portion, extended side-by-side. The stationary leg portions may receive and removably hold the net, and the movable leg portions may disengage the net from the stationary leg portions. A release button may be manually activated to shift the movable leg portions relative to the stationary leg portions, to release the net from the legs.
