Abstract
An action toy game apparatus includes a base, a timer in the base, a plurality of magnetically responsive ring-like game elements, a feeder mechanism for individually feeding the game elements to a feeder station, and a magnetic support mechanism for individually magnetically receiving the game elements from the feeder mechanism and for moving them in a substantially circular path which is spaced upwardly from the base. The apparatus further includes a retrieving mechanism which is operable for individually retrieving the game elements from the support mechanism as they are moved in the substantially circular path and a removing mechanism for removing any of the game elements from the support mechanism in the event that they are not retrieved with the retrieving mechanism. The retrieving mechanism comprises a character figure member holding an upwardly disposed elongated rod and a depressible member which is manually operably for moving the character figure member and the rod upwardly in order to individually retrieve the game elements on the rod as they are moved in the substantially circular path above the base.
