Abstract
The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a modular toy vehicle that includes a vehicle body defining a seat space that is at least partially enclosed and defines an interior volume to contain one or more character figures, a first character seat assembly removably mountable to the vehicle body within the seat space as a first simulated seat, and a second character seat assembly removably mountable to the vehicle body within the seat space as a second simulated seat that is sized differently from the first simulated seat such that the second character seat assembly is prevented from removably mounting to the vehicle body within the seat space when the first character seat assembly is removably mounted to the vehicle body within the seat space.
Claims17
A modular toy vehicle comprising:
- a toy vehicle body defining a seat space that is at least partially enclosed and defines an interior volume to contain one or more toy character figures;
- a first toy character seat assembly removably mountable to the toy vehicle body within the seat space as a first simulated seat having a first miniaturized scale size proportional to a first simulated anthropomorphic toy occupant having a first scale of no larger than 1:4;
- and
- a second toy character seat assembly removably mountable to the toy vehicle body within the seat space as a second simulated seat having a second miniaturized scale size proportional to a second simulated anthropomorphic toy occupant having a second scale smaller than the first scale, the second simulated seat being sized differently from the first simulated seat such that the second toy character seat assembly is prevented from removably mounting to the toy vehicle body within the seat space when the first toy character seat assembly is removably mounted to the toy vehicle body within the seat space.
A method of assembling a modular toy vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing a toy vehicle body defining a seat space that is at least partially enclosed and defines an interior volume to contain one or more toy character figures;
- providing a first toy character seat assembly having a first simulated seat having a first miniaturized scale size proportional to a first simulated anthropomorphic toy occupant having a first scale of no larger than 1:4;
- providing a second toy character seat assembly having a second simulated seat having a second miniaturized scale proportional to a second simulated anthropomorphic toy occupant having a second miniaturized scale size smaller than the first miniaturized scale size, the second simulated seat being sized differently from the first simulated seat;
- assembling the first toy character seat assembly having the first simulated seat within the seat space;
- preventing, by the assembly of the first toy character seat assembly within the seat space, assembly of the second toy character seat assembly within the seat space;
- removing the first toy character seat assembly from the seat space;
- assembling the second toy character seat assembly having the second simulated seat to the toy vehicle body;
- preventing, by the assembly of the second toy character seat assembly within the seat space, assembly of the first toy character seat assembly within the seat space;
- and
- removing the second toy character seat assembly from the seat space.
