ABSTRACT:
An animated toy is disclosed containing, in combination, a toy figurine, decorated as a scuba swimmer, adapted to be placed in a belly down prone position atop a carriage. The figurine includes a torso and first and second legs pivotally coupled to said torso. A wheel is rotatably coupled to the carriage and rotates responsive to movement of the carriage along a supporting surface. And a leg pivoting means is supported by the carriage, for engaging the front side of said figurine's legs for alternately forcing each of said legs to pivot upwardly responsive to the rotation of said wheel. The figurine's legs alternately move up and down to simulate a swimmer's kick as the user moves the toy figurine and carriage along a supporting surface.
