Abstract
An action figure toy may include a base, an action figure, and a flipping mechanism disposed on the base. In some embodiments, the action figure toy may include at least two cords suspended from the base, and the action figure may be configured to ascend the at least two cords toward the base by manipulation of the at least two cords by a user. The flipping mechanism may be configured to engage the action figure when the action figure ascends to the flipping mechanism. The flipping mechanism may enable the action figure to rotate about an axis that is transverse to a line parallel to at least a portion of at least one of the at least two cords when the flipping mechanism engages the action figure.
