Abstract (en)

A toy character comprising a main body section (1) mounted on 3 wheels (2,3,4). The axle (5) joining the rear wheels (2,3) is mounted to at least one of the wheels at a position radially offset from the centre of the wheel. This causes the toy the roll from side to side as it is pulled along. Head (11) and tail (12) members are rotatably mounted to the body (1), and fins (23-25) loosely fit into slots (29-31) in the top of the body. <IMAGE>
