Action figure and accessories

An action figure in combination with a removable battery pack for providing current to an electrical accessory with electrical contact points, comprising:

• a battery pack, comprising
• a battery receptacle for removably holding and electrically connecting with at least one battery;
• and
• an external connecting portion comprising electrical contacts for providing current from the at least one battery;
• a hollow torso having a connecting receptacle for removably receiving, mechanically retaining and electrically connecting with the connecting portion of the battery pack;
• a first conductor pair within the torso receiving current from the connecting receptacle;
• a hollow pivoting limb abutting the torso;
• a second conductor pair within the hollow pivoting limb;
• a pair of conductive areas on the surface of the limb for contact with the electrical contact points of the accessory, the conductive areas in electrical communication with the second conductor pair;
• and
• a pivoting contact apparatus pivotingly coupling the limb to the torso and electrically coupling the first conductor pair to the second conductor pair.

An action figure in combination with a removable battery pack and at least one electrical accessory, comprising:

• a battery pack, comprising
• a battery receptacle for removably holding and electrically connecting with at least one battery;
• and
• an external connecting portion comprising battery pack electrical contacts for providing current from the at least one battery;
• a hollow torso having a connecting receptacle for removably receiving and mechanically retaining the connecting portion of the battery pack, the connecting receptacle further comprising connecting receptacle electrical contacts for receiving current from the battery pack electrical contacts when the connecting portion is retained by the connecting receptacle;
• a first conductor pair within the torso in electrical connection with the connecting receptacle electrical contacts;
• a hollow pivoting limb abutting the torso;
• a second conductor pair within the hollow pivoting limb;
• a pivoting contact apparatus pivotingly coupling the limb to the torso and electrically connecting the first conductor pair to the second conductor pair;
• and
• an accessory receptacle on the limb for removably receiving and mechanically retaining an electrical accessory, the accessory receptacle further comprising accessory receptacle electrical contacts in electrical connection with the second conductor pair;
• and an electrical accessory, adapted to be received and mechanically retained by the accessory receptacle, the accessory further comprising electrical accessory contacts for receiving current from the accessory receptacle electrical contacts when the accessory is retained by the accessory receptacle.

An action figure in combination with a removable battery pack accessory apparatus, comprising:

• a battery pack accessory apparatus, comprising
• a battery receptacle for removably holding and electrically connecting with at least one battery;
• an external connecting portion comprising battery pack electrical contacts for providing current from the at least one battery;
• an electrically powered accessory;
• and
• an accessory contact portion with accessory contacts for receiving current for the electrically powered accessory;
• a hollow torso having a connecting receptacle for removably receiving and mechanically retaining the connecting portion of the accessory battery pack apparatus, the connecting receptacle further comprising connecting receptacle electrical contacts for receiving current from the battery pack electrical contacts when the connecting portion is retained by the connecting receptacle;
• a first conductor pair within the torso in electrical connection with the connecting receptacle electrical contacts;
• a hollow pivoting limb abutting the torso;
• a second conductor pair within the hollow pivoting limb;
• a pivoting contact apparatus pivotingly coupling the limb to the torso and electrically connecting the first conductor pair to the second conductor pair;
• and
• an accessory receptacle on the limb adapted to removably receive and mechanically retain the accessory contact portion of the battery pack accessory apparatus when the connecting portion of the accessory battery pack apparatus is retained by the connecting receptacle of the torso, the accessory receptacle further comprising accessory receptacle electrical contacts in electrical connection with the second conductor pair, the accessory receptacle electrical contacts adapted to provide current to the accessory contacts when the accessory contact portion of the battery pack accessory apparatus is retained by the accessory receptacle.
