ABSTRACT:
A climbing toy includes an upper line, a lower line and an upper reel mechanism from which the upper line depends and which selectively winds in the upper line. An action figure is connected to a lower end of the upper line. A lower reel mechanism is disposed in the action figure, and the lower line depends from the lower reel mechanism, which is biased to reel in the lower line. A fixing mechanism holds a lower end of the lower line. A switch is operably connected to the upper reel mechanism and is switchable between (i) an active state, in which the upper reel mechanism is activated to wind in the upper line, and (ii) an inactive state, in which the upper reel mechanism is not activated to wind in the upper line and allows the upper line to be unwound therefrom. In the active state, the action figure is pulled toward the upper reel and the lower line is unwound from the lower reel mechanism. In the inactive state, the lower reel mechanism winds the lower line into the action figure as the action figure moves toward the fixing mechanism. A reciprocating mechanism is designed to translate rotation of the lower reel mechanism into reciprocation of at least one pivotably-mounted appendage only when the lower rope is unwound therefrom.
