Abstract

A toy includes a base with an upright post, a suspending track member and a moving piece. The suspending track member is mounted on the prop and has a track portion that inclines gradually and downwardly and that has a top side formed with an anti-slipping surface. The moving piece is capable of downward sliding movement along the track portion and includes a body part and left and right arms, each of which has a lower section pivoted to the body part for forward and rearward pivoting movement of the left and right arms relative to the body part, and an upper section that extends from the lower section. The upper sections of the left and right arms are spaced apart by a distance wider than width of the track portion such that the left and right arms can be disposed on left and right sides of the track portion. The upper section of each of the left and right arms is formed with a track contacting part that extends above the track portion for contacting the anti-slipping surface and for suspending the moving piece on the track portion.
