Abstract
A toy action figure has its arms mounted for swinging movement about laterally spaced vertical axes, and has one leg mounted for rocking movement toward the figure's other leg. The mounting assembly for each arm includes an arm cup and an arm ball, the arm ball having a crank extending through a horizontal slot in its arm cup. An actuating mechanism interconnects the rockable leg with the two cranks, the actuating mechanism including a transmission link connected at its lower end to the rockable leg so that its upper end, which is forked, acts against an angled cam strip that is part of a lever unit provided with two upstanding pins which project into slots formed in the two cranks.
