Abstract
An action toy is provided in the form of a robot having an upstanding body portion, a head portion mounted on top of the body portion, and a base at the bottom of the body portion. The toy has a plurality of wheels on the underside of the base portion rotatably mounted thereon, with two front wheels and a manually steerable rear wheel for pushing the robot over a support surface such as a floor. The robot has limbs from which projectiles may be launched and from which a flexible tethered-type crane mechanism can lift accessory items upwardly from the support surface and into compartments in the body and head of the robot. A manual crank is provided for driving one of the front wheels of the robot and a missile-type projector is provided on the top of the robot for projecting disc-type objects outwardly therefrom.
