Motion character figure
Abstract
A motion character figure includes a character body, a motion generator, and a motion synchronizing unit. The character body includes an elongated supporting post, for movably supporting first and second motion bodies. The motion generator includes an electromagnetic generator electrically linked to a power source, and a pendulum member having an upper pivot portion pivotally supported by the supporting post to couple with the first motion body and a bottom magnetic portion extended towards the electromagnetic generator, in such a manner that the pendulum member is driven to move fro and back in responsive to the electromagnetic force to generate a first reciprocating motion at the first motion body. The motion synchronizing unit is subjected to generate a second reciprocating motion at the second motion body in responsive to the first reciprocating motion.
