Toy figures having extremities comprised of springs and magnets

Abstract

A toy figure having an upper torso section and a lower torso section. The upper torso section and the lower torso section are connected with a vertical spring. The vertical spring serves as the visible abdomen of the toy figure and enables the upper torso section and the lower torso section to move relative each other. The arms and legs of the figure are also made of springs. The arms terminate with magnetic hands and the legs terminate with magnetic feet. The springs used as the arms, legs and abdomen of the toy figure are all fully compressed coil springs that are made of ferromagnetic metal. As such, the magnetic hands and feet of the figure can be selectively attached to the arms, legs or abdomen of that figure or any other figure. This provides the toy figure with unique posing options.
