Abstract
A toy stacking and kicking mechanism is disclosed having a support base, and a hollow post extending upwardly from the support base. The outer surface of the post is preferably designed and shaped as a brightly colored character, such as a clown or the like that is attractive to children, and the top of the post is designed as a hat. A plurality of generally U-shaped objects, each having a center opening and a passage extending from the center opening through the object at one end thereof, is stacked on the support base of the post. A foot member is pivotally mounted within the hollow post and is movable from a retracted position to an extended position in which the foot member passes through a slot in a wall of the post for engaging and kicking the lowermost object from the support base.
