A suspending and propelling means for imparting a "flying" action to toy figures and objects comprising a support clip disposed between fixed and movable pulley members, said support clip being a generally rectangular member with upstanding ends having aligned apertures adjacent the side extremities thereof, one of said upstanding ends having a central strand coupling means, and said support clip and pulley members being united by an elongated flexible strand, said flexible strand having one end secured to said clip at said central strand coupling means, and passing through said fixed pulley member, then through the aligned apertures at one side of said clip and through the movable pulley member, then back through the aligned apertures at the other side of said clip and to the fixed pulley member to which the other end of said strand is secured, and the length of said strand being such that when the support clip is adjacent the movable pulley members, and under slight tension, the distance between the support clip and fixed pulley member will be in excess of about three feet, whereby grasping and pulling on said movable pulley member causes a toy figure or object secured to said support clip to be suspended, and moved toward said fixed pulley member.
