Abstract
A figure toy with positionable appendages and having upper and lower torso portions pivotally interconnected with a spring member at the axis of pivoting. The rear of the torso is configured for retaining sound emitting devices, such as a plurality of caps, and a mechanism including a spring-biased hammer member is provided within the torso, the hammer member being cocked in response to pivoting in a first direction against the force of the spring of the upper torso relative to the lower torso. Upon release of the upper torso, the spring urges pivoting of the upper torso in the opposite direction, with a time delay mechanism suddenly releasing the hammer under force of its bias, near the end of travel in the opposite direction, to fire the cap, thus simulating the sound of a punch with the arm positioned to a punching position.
