A toy article having a body formed in an egg-like configuration and including a top portion and a base in which a weight is located, the weight insuring that the body will always return to an upright position regardless of exterior forces applied thereto. A central section is disposed between the base and the top portion and is rotatable relative thereto, the central section being divided symmetrically into an opaque portion and a clear portion. Located interiorly of the central section is a fixed interior band having graphic material imprinted thereon that is visible when the clear portion of the central section is aligned therewith, wherein relative movement of the central section with respect to the interior band, locates a selected part of said graphic material in alignment with the clear portion of the central section for visual access thereto.
A toy article comprising a base having a rounded bottom wall in which a cavity is defined and including an upwardly extending flange that defines the uppermost portion of said base, a central tubular section having a portion thereof that has an upwardly reducing diameter, the lowermost portion of said central section engaging a flange of said base, a portion of said central section being opaque and a portion thereof being clear to provide for visual access therethrough, an interior band located within said central section and having graphic material imprinted thereon that is visible when the clear portion of said central section is aligned therewith, a top portion having a shaft that extends downwardly through the interior of said central section for engagement with said base for assembling the base, central section and top portion as a unit, said central section being moveable relative to said base and top portion to selectively locate a part of said graphic material in alignment with the clear portion of said central section for visual access thereto.
A toy article having a rounded bottom wall in which a cavity is defined, a central tubular section mounted on said base for rotating movement relative thereto, a portion of said central section being opaque and a portion thereof being clear to provide for visual access therethrough, an interior band located within said central section and having graphic material imprinted thereon that is visible when the clear portion of said central section is aligned therewith, a top portion engaging said central section but being fixed relative thereto, wherein said central section is moveable relative to said base and top portions to selectively locate a part of said graphic material in alignment with the clear portion of said central section for visual access thereto.
