Mechanical toys; targets.- Relates to a device for releasing toy figures at predetermined intervals and allowing them to run down an inclined plane, the figures serving as moving targets, for example, or representing animals moving into or out of a Noah's Ark. The device consists of an inclined tray or casing b having an upturned rim b1 which is formed with a gap at b2 leading on to an inclined track f. A rotary disk c mounted within the tray is provided with peripheral compartments c' in each of which a toy soldier d is placed. The disk c is rotated by clockwork mechanism e1, the speed of rotation of which may be varied. As the disk rotates, the figures in turn slide through the gap b2 and down the track f.
