A push-button puppet or pop toy comprises a stack of elements 20a-b including at least first 20a, second 20b and third 20c elements having a cord 28 running therethrough. The cord 28 is configurable between a taut state in which the stack is prevented from toppling (see figure 3), and a slack state in which the first, second and third elements are movable relative to one another to effect toppling of the stack (see figure 4). The first element comprises a stop 30 configured to limit movement of the second element relative to the first element to a pre-determined range such that the stack is only partially toppled by movement of the second element through the pre-determined range, and movement of the first and/or third element is necessary for the stack to reach a fully-toppled state. The cord 28 is anchored to a movable base 22 such that movement of the base 22 upwardly against the force of a spring 24 slackens the cord 28 to allow the stack to topple. |
