ABSTRACT:
A toy figure resembling an insect such as an ant includes an upper torso pivotally coupled to a lower torso. A pair of legs support the lower torso and a pivotally moveable shell portion is attached to the lower torso. A drive button is slidingly supported within the lower torso and is raised against the shell portion by an internal return spring operative upon the button. A pair of arms are secured to the upper torso and are pivotable at their respective elbow joints. The arms support hands which in turn receive the handle grips of a simulated weapon each weapon comprising a pivotal arm and an outer ball and weight. A gear and rack mechanism is driven by the slidable button and is coupled to the upper torso by a flexible shaft such that pressing and releasing the shell portion moves the button and gear rack correspondingly to produce pivotal movement back-and-forth of the upper torso which in turn moves the simulated weapons.
