Abstract

Abstract A wrestler character figure includes a free standing main body member, including a torso portion and a first arm portion on the torso portion. The first arm member is operable for securing an opponent character figure in a headlock position wherein the head of the opponent character figure is positioned at least partially in front of the torso portion. The wrestler character figure further includes a second arm portion which is pivotable about an axis in the torso portion for moving a hand on the second arm portion toward and away from the head of the opponent character figure. The second arm portion is biased in a direction wherein the hand is advanced toward the head of the opponent character figure to inflict a simulated punching action on the head of the opponent character figure.
