A moveable figurine assembly including a base, a moveable support supported by the base, a figurine balanced on the moveable support, and a movement mechanism. The figurine includes a wheel, a body and a pair of extensions. The body of the figurine is positioned above the wheel and connected to the wheel, and each extension of the pair of extensions has a first end attached to the body and a second end. The movement mechanism is configured to move the support such that at least a portion of the support is inclined at an angle relative to horizontal, and when the direction is inclined at a downward angle, the figurine moves on the support in a downward direction.

A toy set having one or more figurines is provided. A first figurine has a motor coupled to a flywheel and a drive shaft to rotate the flywheel and the drive shaft. The drive shaft engages a support surface causing translation of the first figurine on the support surface when the drive shaft is rotated. The flywheel holds the first figurine generally upright on the support surface via gyroscopic force when the flywheel is rotated. The first figurine has a body representing a torso and at least one arm extending from the body, wherein the body and the at least one arm do not rotate with the flywheel. A second figurine is connectable to the first figurine to form a self-balancing assembly at least when the drive shaft engages the support surface and the flywheel is rotated by the motor. Rotation of the drive shaft causes translation of the self-balancing assembly on the support surface.
