ABSTRACT:
A toy figure, such as a baseball player, which may or may not represent an actual identifiable person, is mounted upon a cylindrical base. Carried in the base is a rotatable disk having a grooved, serrated, knurled or otherwise textured outer peripheral wall. An arcuate access opening in the side wall of the base exposes a segment of at least the textured peripheral wall facilitating spinning or rotation of the disk by the user's thumb or finger. On the upper face of the disk, as disposed in the base, are a number of sectors, each of which contains indicia for determining an outcome in the play of a game. A viewing opening in the upper surface of the base permits viewing of a single sector on the disk. The underside of the disk has a series of radial grooves and/or ridges forming a face ratchet that cooperate with an upwardly biased pawl on the upper, inside surface of the bottom wall of the base to provide for the viewing of just one of the sectors on the upper surface of the disk through the viewing opening in the base.
