A flying toy figurine includes a main body having an upper body portion, a lower body portion and a middle body portion, the middle body portion including a waist portion and a hip portion. A center shaft connects the upper body portion to the lower body portion, and the waist portion and the hip portion are mounted for independent rotation about the center shaft. A motor drives a rotor assembly, including at least two main propeller blades, located in the waist portion in one direction for imparting vertical aerodynamic lift to the figurine. Rotation of the waist portion in one direction causes the hip portion to counter-rotate in the opposite direction. The center shaft is not connected to the waist portion or the hip portion and therefore rotation of the upper body portion and lower body portion remains independent of the rotation of the waist portion and the hip portion. |

1. A flying toy figurine comprising:
a) a main body, the main body comprising an upper body portion, a lower body portion and a middle body portion, the middle body portion comprising a waist portion and a hip portion; b) a center shaft located on a central axis of the main body, a first end of the center shaft being fixed to the upper body portion and a second, opposite end of the center shaft being fixed to the lower body portion; c) a drive motor for driving a rotor assembly, the rotor assembly including at least two main propeller blades for providing aerodynamic lift to the flying toy figurine, the rotor assembly located in the waist portion; d) a source of power for running the drive motor; e) a control system for regulating operation of the drive motor; and f) the waist portion and the hip portion being mounted concentrically about and annularly spaced from the center shaft for rotation about the center shaft, said rotation of the waist portion and the hip portion about the center shaft being independent of rotation of the center shaft; wherein running the drive motor to drive the rotor assembly and waist portion in a first rotational direction imparts aerodynamic lift causing the flying toy figurine to fly and further causing the hip portion to rotate in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction. |
