ABSTRACT:
A puppet toy and game which includes a configured body support having pivotally connected thereto an operable limb assembly in which an upper arm is pivotally connected to the body support, a forearm is pivotally carried on the upper arm, and an activation means activates the upper arm and forearm to extend the limb assembly into a striking position. A return means returns the limb assembly to an at-rest position, with the activation means including a triggering means which is located relative to the body support so as to allow an operator to grasp and carry the body support in one hand while controlling the activation means simultaneously with the same hand. A head is resiliently carried upon the body support to allow the head to return to its original position after being struck, and in toys in which a plurality of limb assemblies are provided the triggering means or levers are located to allow an operator to control the limb assemblies either independently or simultaneously with the same finger or thumb. Preferably at least the forearms are manufactured from a malleable plastic material.
