A skill action game in which players try to remove cards from an opening without tripping a mechanical action feature. In order to remove the cards, players must use an electrically conductive probe. If the probe is allowed to contact a conductive strip a circuit will be completed to energize a motor which will move a latch to release a biased mechanical action. Simultaneous movement of two action features in substantially opposite directions is affected by spaced apart facing rack teeth carried by each of the features engaging a gear.

Skill action game

A composite toy robot that may be assembled from five individual lion-like vehicles. Each of the vehicles has a hollow body with an openable portion for receiving a toy figure within the body and a pivotal head. Four legs are attached to the body for pivotal movement from an extended position in which the body is supportable on a surface to a retracted position. In addition, each body has an elongated tail mounted for pivotal movement relative to the body. One of the lion-like vehicles forms the torso of the composite toy robot and the limbs of this vehicle are substantially within a respective hip or shoulder joint in the retracted position. The tail of each of the arm and leg forming vehicles has a notch adjacent the end that is received in the hip or shoulder joint of the torso vehicle so that pivotal movement of the respective leg of the torso vehicle into the retracted position retains the tail. Each of the legs of the torso vehicle has an exposed side with an indentation to facilitate moving the legs back out of the retracted tail locking position.
