Title: Decorative toy

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.
