Abstract
In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided and includes a toy assembly that includes a housing, a toy character inside the housing, and a breakout member that is operable to impact the housing so as to break the housing to expose the toy character. The housing includes a breakage zone for impact and breakage by the breakout member. In the breakage zone, the housing is formed from a polymer composition that includes a base polymer, an organic acid metal salt; and an inorganic filler.
Claims14
A toy assembly, comprising:
- a housing;
- a toy character inside the housing;
- and
- a breakout member that is operable to impact the housing so as to break the housing to expose the toy character,
- wherein the housing includes a breakage zone for impact and breakage by the breakout member and wherein, in the breakage zone, the housing is formed from a polymer composition that includes:
- a base polymer that is an elastomeric polymer and that is 15-24 weight-% of the polymer composition;
- an organic acid metal salt that is 1-5 weight-% of the polymer composition;
- and
- an inorganic filler that is 75-84 weight-% of the polymer composition,
- wherein the polymer composition is shaped such that, during use, impacting of the housing by the breakout member fractures the housing to permit pieces from the housing to separate and fall away from a remainder of the housing.
