Abstract
A creature figure toy has an extensible tongue component, which may cooperate with the string by which it is secured to provide a trap for capturing objects. Abrupt retraction of the tongue component may be effected by pulling a tail component, attached to a second string, the effective length of which may be multiplied by a unique arrangement of tumblers and spools disposed within the body of the toy.
