Always up

It is not easy to push this toy out of its equilibrium. Each swing out of the state of equilibrium causes the toy to come back to its starting balance point.

The stability of the equilibrium is caused by uneven mass distribution inside the toy. The base of the toy is round and the centre of mass is located near the base. Sometimes the whole base is just a half-round iron weight.

The head of the toy has to be comparatively light, compared with the rest of the toy body, so that Always Up could swing back by itself from each position.
