Abstract: A puppet toy and game which includes a configured body support having pivotally connected thereto an operable limb assembly in which an upper arm is pivotally connected to the body support. A forearm is integrally extended from the upper arm and is moveable with respect thereto. A trigger activates the upper arm and forearm to extend the limb assembly into a striking position. A resilient return element means returns the limb assembly to an at-rest position, with the trigger being located relative to the body support so as to allow an operator to grasp and carry the body support in one hand while controlling the trigger simultaneously with the same hand. A head is resiliently carried upon the body support to allow the head to return to its original position after being struck, and in toys in which a plurality of limb assemblies are provided, the trigger or levers are located to allow an operator to control the limb assemblies either independently or simultaneously with the same finger or thumb.
