A wheeled toy vehicle is disclosed having a frame and a drive wheel rotatably mounted on the frame, to roll across a support surface. A pair of forearms are pivoted to the frame, respectively on its opposite sides. Each forearm has a fist at its forward end and an elbow at its rearward end. Each forearm is constrained to pivot between a raised position having its fist well above the elbow and the support surface, and a lowered position having its fist close to the support surface. A drive couples each forearm, at a location between the elbow and fist, to the drive wheel, for repeatedly raising and lowering each forearm, as the drive wheel is rotated. A pair of upper arms respectively are pivoted to the forearms at the elbows. The upper arm is angled relative to its associated forearm, the angle between each upper arm and forearm being its minimum near the raised position and being its maximum near the lowered position. A mouth is defined by relatively movable lower and upper jaw members supported by the frame.

The disclosed toy may be used for capturing an intended toy victim within a snare net sufficiently large when opened to fit over and around at least part of the victim. A carrier, shaped as a monstrous insect or the like, may be used for holding the net open while stalking the victim, for positioning the net over and down around the victim, and for releasing the net when desired to snare the victim. The carrier may have a body and a plurality of legs depending from the body in an array to fit at least partially down and around the victim. Corresponding free ends of the legs have means for receiving and removably holding the snare net, to hold the same opened. The net may be elongated and generally tubular in shape, having a closed end and an open end. Flexible elastic means at the open net end, may be stretched to the holding means on the legs; and when released, may resiliently close the open net end against and relative to the victim. Each leg may have a stationary portion and a movable portion, extended side-by-side.

A toy race track and lap counter comprising a track with adjacent lanes each forming a complete circuit and racing objects which are propelled around the track by pressurized air controllably discharging from separate nozzles in a propulsion tower. Separate air impulse devices are provided for each player for controlling the timing and intensity of each burst of pressurized air against that player's racing object as it passes by the propulsion tower and beneath the nozzles. A plurality of propulsion towers may also be provided which are operably interconnectable whereby simultaneous air bursts are applied at more than one location around the track by each player by manually timing the activation of that player's air impulse device.
