Abstract: In conclusion the following is to be remembered: The invention concerns a somersault toy figure with a guide-way 12 provided within a figure shell 10 and a roller body 14 moveable back and forth within the guide-way between two end positions separated from each other for bringing about a somersault movement upon placement upon an inclined plane. For achievement of a additional acoustic effect there is provided a oscillating body formed as a tubular section 16, which by the movement of the roller body 14 is mechanically brought to acoustically oscillating.
