| Abstract: |
A model figure connected to a remote pistol grip handle has one or more activity motions for the figure controlled from the handle. Unlike other model figures which have activity motions, there is a pivot arrangement between the handle and the figure that allows the operator to easily move the figure on a surface. The model figure has a middle torso portion with a pin extending therethrough, a model limb for the figure is mounted to pivot on the pin, a rotating pulley is mounted on the pin to pivot the limb, and the remote pistol grip handle is connected to the figure through a wand. There is a linkage system from a trigger mechanism on the handle to the rotating pulley so that movement of the trigger mechanism pivots the limb on the pin.

The embodiments of the present invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:
1. A model figure connected to a remote pistol grip handle having at last two activity motions, comprising:
- a model figure having a middle torso portion with a substantially horizontal pin means therein;
- a base beneath the figure with the figure mounted for rotation thereon;
- at least one model limb for the figure, the limb mounted to pivot on the pin means;
- pivot means to pivot the limb on the pin means to perform a first activity motion;
- remote pistol grip handle connected to the base beneath the figure by a hinged elongated member, the pistol grip handle having a trigger mechanism;
- first linkage means between the trigger mechanism on the pistol grip handle and the pivot means to pivot the limb so that movement of the trigger mechanism performs the first activity motion;
- rotational means to rotate the figure on the base to perform a second activity motion;
- thumb movement means on the remote pistol grip, and
- second linkage means between the thumb movement means and the rotational means to rotate the figure on the base, so that movement of the thumb movement means performs the second activity motion.
