1. A toy appendage assembly comprising:
an elongated member having a first axis along its length, wherein the elongated member has a coupling end and a moving end, wherein the coupling end is at least partially spherical in shape and is capable of rotating within a support structure; an offset shaft having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to the coupling end of the elongated member, and wherein the offset shaft has a second axis along its length that is angularly offset from the first axis of the elongated member; a wheel, wherein the second end of the offset shaft is coupled to the wheel at a location away from the center of the wheel, wherein the coupling end serves as a pivot point for the elongated member and the offset shaft, and wherein a first surface of the wheel comprises a planar portion and an inclined portion, the second end of the offset shaft being coupled to the inclined portion; a gear coupled to the wheel; and a gear rack coupled to the gear, such that linear movement of the gear rack causes rotation of the wheel through the gear. |
