Abstract
A walking mechanism for a toy having two legs. Each leg is provided with a vertically elongated slot intermediate its ends which receives a pin connected to a frame mounting a drive motor. The drive motor operates a shaft bearing two eccentrics with the eccentrics being located 180.degree. apart about the shaft and each eccentric is drivingly connected to one end of a respective leg. As a result, each leg is driven through a generally elliptical path with the movement of each being 180.degree. out of phase with the movement of the other.
