Abstract A toy in the form of a figurine that extends vertically above a mounted platform with a rod extending from the figurine over the platform from which an object is suspended by a flexible string. A window opening in the top section of the platform encloses a transparent cover over a magnetized plate slidably mounted in a slot in the platform. The exterior face of the plate visible through the transparent cover, is marked with words describing a humorous weather forecast based on the behavior of the suspended object. The object contains an embedded magnet so that the object will rotate as it swings over the plate. The figurine is detachably attached to the platform so that both the figurine and the marked plate may be readily replaced with other figurines and marked plates.
A toy formed of a base plate to which an erect vertical figure is detachably mounted, with a generally horizontal rod extending from said figure and with an object suspended by a flexible string fixed to the free end of said rod, said base formed with a window opening in the top surface in which a replaceable first sheet is displayed, the exposed face of which is covered by fixed markings, said first sheet backed by a magnetized second sheet of metal, and a transparent third sheet covering both first and second sheets, with the suspended object magnetized so as to interact with the magnetic field of the magnetized sheet, when the object is swung as a pendulum.
