Abstract: The toy action figure includes a body having one leg mounted for rocking movement toward and away from its other leg. The figure also includes one arm mounted for swinging movement about a generally vertical axis provided by a ball member on said arm and a ball cup integral with the figure's body. A motion-converting mechanism is contained within the body which mechanism comprises an actuating lever which is rocked when said one leg is rocked. The actuating lever includes a triangularly configured cam at its upper end having an angled cam edge which engages against an edge on a panel. The panel is integral with a transmission lever that constitutes an inverted T-shaped member and which pivots abouts its lower T-shaped end when the cam edge acts against the panel edge so as to cause a generally vertical pin of the upper end of the transmission lever to force in an angular direction a lever arm integral with a ball member on the arm to be swung.

Abstract: An impact responsive toy vehicle in which two separable halves each carrying surface engaging wheels are connected together to provide a vehicle supported on the surface engaging wheels. A torsion spring biases the joinable ends of the two halves to separate and each flip over. The parts are retained together by a connecting latch that is disengageable by a slidable lever that moves in reponse to a force on an extending front bumper. One half carries a rotatable lock including a lug that cooperates with an abutment on the lever to lock the trigger lever against sliding movement in response to impact on the bumper. Fail-safe combination of the two parts rendering the impact responsive feature totally inoperative is accomplished by assembling the parts together with the arm of the torsion spring received in a recess on the underside of the chassis of the other half.
