ABSTRACT:
A generally circular flat housing supports a handle, a pivotable lever, and a base portion. At the circular portion of the housing, a ring of character segments each having a visually depicted character thereon are supported. A pointer is rotatably supportable upon the housing and is movable to point to a selected one of the characters. A character image is supported on a circular plate at the center of the housing and includes apparatus for moving face components to simulate the speaking action of the image character. An electronic sound module of conventional design is supported within the interior of the housing and is provided with speech or phrase selections by a rotating multiple segment contact pad set together with a pair of contact brushes. When the pivotally mounted handle is pulled down, a gear drive mechanism is configured for operation and energy is stored in a return spring. When the handle is released, the energy within the stored spring draws the handle upwardly in a slow travel which further drives the gear mechanism for animating the character face and which triggers the production of sound from the sound module.
