Abstract: A toy character includes a body, a first propeller assembly, a second propeller assembly, and a motor. The body extends in a longitudinal direction and has a longitudinal axis. The first propeller assembly is mounted to the body to rotate in a first direction about the longitudinal axis and positioned at a mid-portion of the body. The second propeller assembly is mounted to the body to rotate in a second direction about the longitudinal axis and spaced apart from the first propeller assembly. The second propeller assembly is mechanically linked to the first propeller assembly for counter-rotation in the second direction when the first propeller assembly rotates in the first direction. The motor is in communication with the first and second propeller assemblies to drive rotations in the first direction and the second direction.

Abstract: A flying toy figure is provided which may include a doll body extending in a longitudinal direction and may have a longitudinal axis which is substantially vertical. A first propeller assembly may be mounted to rotate in a first direction about the longitudinal axis of the doll body and may be positioned longitudinally along a mid-portion of the doll body. A second propeller assembly mechanically linked to the first propeller assembly may be mounted to rotate in a second direction about the longitudinal axis of the doll body and is positioned below the first propeller assembly. A rechargeable power source may be in communication with a motor to drive the first and second propeller assemblies. One or more sensors may be included with the figure to detect a surface external to the doll body and may be configured to provide a surface detection signal.
