    Abstract: A wrestler character figure includes a main body portion which is receivable in free standing relation on a supporting surface, a pair of pivotally mounted arm portions on the main body portion, a pair of hand portions on the arm portions and a biasing assembly in the main body portion. The arm portions are pivotable between upwardly extending first positions and downwardly extending second positions, and the biasing assembly is operative for biasing the arm portions toward the downwardly extending second positions thereof. The hand portions are positioned on the arm portions so they face upwardly when the arm portions are in the upwardly extending first positions thereof. The wrestler character figure is operative by pivoting the arm portions to the upwardly extending first positions thereof, balancing an opponent wrestler character figure on the hand portions and then releasing the arm portions so that the opponent wrestler character figure is thrown to the floor.
