Abstract
An action character figure assembly includes a character figure, an elongated base and a control and mounting mechanism for releasably mounting the character figure on one leg thereof adjacent an end of the base. The control and mounting mechanism is remotely operable from the opposite end of the base for rapidly rotating the character figure about the axis of the first leg thereof so as to cause the character figure to perform various martial arts fighting maneuvers. The character figure includes a torso portion which is pivotally mounted on the first leg and a second leg and arms which are freely pivotably mounted on the torso portion so that they are centrifugally pivoted outwardly during a fighting maneuver.

An action character figure assembly comprising:
- (a) a base;
- (b) a character figure including a torso, first and second legs, means pivotally mounting said torso on said first leg so that said torso is centrifugally pivotable forwardly thereon upon rotation of said character figure on said first leg, but so that when said first leg is in a substantially upright stationary disposition, said torso normally assumes a substantially upright disposition thereon, and means pivotally mounting said second leg on said torso so that said second leg depends therefrom in freely forwardly and rearwardly pivotable relation;
- and
- (c) mounting and control means for rotatably mounting said first leg in a substantially upright disposition on said base, said mounting and control means being remotely operable for rotating said first leg on said base and for thereby rotating said character figure thereon in a manner causing said torso to be pivoted on said first leg and said second leg to be pivoted on said torso.
