Abstract
A quick drawing mechanism for use in an animated figure toy having a hollow torso and arm. A push button at the back of the torso is pushed causing a plate with rack to pivot and an arm connector having gears which engage the rack to rotate. Rotation of the arm connector causes the hollow arm to rotate upward and an upper member inside the arm to engage a stationary cam member mounted in the torso. The cam member causes the upper member to pivot which releases a lower member releasably held inside the hollow arm simulating a quick draw.
