Abstract
A toy including a figure adapted to be moved slowly from a lowered position in which the figure is concealed behind a portion of a housing to a raised position in which the figure is visible and to be moved rapidly from its raised position to the lowered position. The mechanism moving the figure is driven by a music box and includes a post supporting the figure, a pin fixed to the post, an actuating arm having an aperture at one end in which the pin is loosely engaged and being secured to a housing at its other end. The means driven by the music box to cause the arm to reciprocate between the raised and lowered positions, also rotates the figure about a verticle axis.
