Abstract
A toy top includes a shaft portion, a body and an attacking member. The body is rotatable relative to the shaft portion in response to an impact applied to the body. The attacking member is movably connected to the body to move in a predetermined direction relative to the body between first and second positions. In the second position, the attacking member protrudes from the body a variable protruding distance which varies according to the rotating position of the body relative to the shaft portion.
