A walking toy having: an upper body part including a torso; and two legs connected to the torso, in which if the torso is made to move forward in the state where a contact surface of at least one leg contacts a walking surface, walking motion is performed by the legs, the walking toy comprising: a crank member rotatably supported in the torso and having a pair of crank eccentric shafts positioned eccentrically from a rotational axis of the crank member, wherein the crank eccentric shafts are arranged so as to have opposite phases from each other with respect to the rotational axis, each of the legs has a motion member giving rotational force to the crank member when the torso moves forward, each of the motion members has an eccentric shaft connecting part pivotably connected to the corresponding crank eccentric shaft, a torso cooperation part cooperating with the torso, and an action part on which force received from the walking surface act, grooves are formed at one of the torso cooperation parts of the motion members and the torso, and projections sliding in the grooves and guided by the grooves are formed at the other of the torso cooperation parts and the torso, the grooves are configured so that the projections can reciprocate in the grooves corresponding to rotational motion of the crank member, and if the torso is made to move forward to make the action part of the motion member of the one leg contacting the walking surface move rearward relative to the torso, the motion member of the one leg moves to thereby impart rotational force to the crank member by the motion member due to the projection being limited in movement in the groove and, the other leg is made to move forward in the state separated from the walking surface due to rotation of the crank member and then is made to contact the walking surface. a crank member rotatably supported in the torso and having a pair of crank eccentric shafts positioned eccentrically from a rotational axis of the crank member, wherein the crank eccentric shafts are arranged so as to have opposite phases from each other with respect to the rotational axis, each of the legs has a motion member giving rotational force to the crank member when the torso moves forward, each of the motion members has an eccentric shaft connecting part pivotably connected to the corresponding crank eccentric shaft, a torso cooperation part cooperating with the torso, and an action part on which force received from the walking surface act, grooves are formed at one of the torso cooperation parts of the motion members and the torso, and projections sliding in the grooves and guided by the grooves are formed at the other of the torso cooperation parts and the torso, the grooves are configured so that the projections can reciprocate in the grooves corresponding to rotational motion of the crank member, and if the torso is made to move forward to make the action part of the motion member of the one leg contacting the walking surface move rearward relative to the torso, the motion member of the one leg moves to thereby impart rotational force to the crank member by the motion member due to the projection being limited in movement in the groove and, the other leg is made to move forward in the state separated from the walking surface due to rotation of the crank member and then is made to contact the walking surface.
