Here is a toy from the 80's that is pushed along and when stopped the driver pops out and spins as a top!

It's sold!

It appears that it can be spun upside down too.

Very clever! Might be able to put that mechanism to use in a LEGO knock-off.

Here is a commercial of it at the 1:00 mark. Funny when I saw it I wondered if Jeremy could adapt a Lego version of it!

Thanks. Diz! But I'm suddenly more interested in a model of Thundarr's girlfriend

Hey it works really well! What a good way for especially small children to spin tops.
