A flying toy figure is provided which may include a doll body extending in a longitudinal direction and may have a longitudinal axis which is substantially vertical. A first propeller assembly may be mounted to rotate in a first direction about the longitudinal axis of the doll body and may be positioned longitudinally along a mid-portion of the doll body. A second propeller assembly mechanically linked to the first propeller assembly may be mounted to rotate in a second direction about the longitudinal axis of the doll body and is positioned below the first propeller assembly. A rechargeable power source may be in communication with a motor to drive the first and second propeller assemblies. One or more sensors may be included with the figure to detect a surface external to the doll body and may be configured to provide a surface detection signal. A controller may be in communication with the motor and one or more sensors to adjust a speed of the motor in response to receiving the surface detection signal from the switch. Adjusting the motor speed adjusts a counter-rotational speed of the first and second propeller assemblies.
