Abstract
Disclosed herein is a toy including a figure and a launcher for launching objects at the figure. The figure has an upper portion and a lower portion wherein the upper portion is movably secured to the lower portion and at least one appendage is movably secured to the upper portion, the at least one appendage having a distal end with an item rotatably secured thereto. An actuator is disposed on an exterior surface of the upper portion of the figure and movement of the actuator causes the upper portion to move from a first configuration to a second configuration with respect to the lower portion.
Claims20
A toy, comprising:
- a figure having an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion being moveably secured to the lower portion;
- at least one appendage movably secured to the upper portion, the at least one appendage having a distal end with an item rotatably secured thereto;
- an actuator disposed on an exterior surface of the upper portion, the actuator being configured for movement between a first position and a second position, the actuator retains the upper portion in a first configuration with respect to the lower portion when the actuator is in the first position and the upper portion moves to a second configuration with respect to the lower portion when the actuator is moved to the second position;
- and
- a launcher for launching an object at the figure and the actuator.
A toy, comprising:
- a figure having a torso portion movably secured to the figure;
- a pair of arms moveably secured to the torso portion each of the pair of arms having a distal end with an item rotatably secured thereto;
- a motor for simultaneously rotating each item and for moving the torso such that each item is alternatively located in a position in front of the figure;
- a release mechanism for maintaining the torso in an upright configuration;
- an actuator for releasing the release mechanism, the actuator being disposed on an exterior surface of the torso;
- and
- a launcher for launching an object at the figure and the actuator.
A toy, comprising:
- a figure capable of being manipulated between a first position and a second position;
- at least one appendage movably secured to the figure, the at least one appendage having a distal end with an item movably secured thereto;
- a mechanism having a target, the target being configured for movement between a release position and a latched position, the mechanism retains the figure in the first position when the mechanism is in the latched position and the figure moves to the second position when the mechanism is moved toward the release position;
- and
- a launcher for launching an object at the target.
