A toy for randomly creating stationary and moving graphic reprensentations and images includes a multi-sided housing for mounting the image producing mechanism. The image producing mechanism includes at least a pair of rotatable, planar elements or sheets and a drive mechanism. One sheet includes graphics combined with a plurality of cutout portions. Another sheet is mounted behind the first sheet and includes multiple graphics that are intended, in their stationary position, to be aligned with the cutouts of the first graphics to complete a picture or image. The first sheet is rotatably mounted and weighted to always assume the same orientation. The second sheet is also rotatably mounted within the housing and is connected to the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a rotatable pendulum within the housing so that upon rotation of the housing, the pendulum swings downwardly actuating the drive mechanism. The second sheet is rotated several times by the drive mechanism so as to provide a random selection of composite images by the two sheets in response to a single or partial rotation of the housing of the toy.
