ABSTRACT:
A wobbling toy includes a hollow platform, a first magnet unit a soft toy housing including a head and a body and a driving mechanism. The first magnet unit is disposed horizontally and mounted rotatably adjacent to the top surface of the platform. The driving mechanism is operable so as to drive rotatably the first magnet unit. The toy body unit rests on the top surface of the platform. The toy body unit further includes a pivot plate which has two distal ends connected pivotally to the wall of the toy body and a vertically extending swing rod which has an intermediate portion that extends through and that is connected to the pivot plate. The swing rod further has a lower end with a second magnet unit mounted thereon and disposed adjacent to the platform and an upper end disposed within the head of the soft toy housing. In operation, the first magnet unit is oscillated by the driving mechanism so as to alternately attract and repel the second magnet unit, to cause the swing rod within the toy body unit to swing. As a result, the toy body unit wobbles on the platform and the head of the toy housing wobbles relative to the body thereof.
