Abstract
An action character model includes a torso having a first magnet disposed therein, the torso bounding a first passage extending from an exterior surface of the torso toward the first magnet. A first appendage has a first connector attached thereto, a portion of the first connector being received within first passage so that the first connector is magnetically coupled to the first magnet, the first connector being non-magnetic.
Claims24
An action character model comprising:
- a torso having a first magnet disposed therein, the first magnet having a first side and an opposing second side, the torso bounding a first passage extending from an exterior surface of the torso toward the first side of the first magnet and a second passage extending from the exterior surface of the torso toward the second side of the first magnet;
- a first appendage having a first connector attached thereto, a portion of the first connector being received within the first passage so that the first connector is magnetically coupled to the first side of the first magnet, wherein the first connector is pivotably attached to the first appendage;
- and
- a second appendage having a second connector attached thereto, a portion of the second connector being received within the second passage so that the second connector is magnetically coupled to the second side of the first magnet.
