A toy comprises a body formed in the shape of an animal, and has first and second parts representing anatomical elements of the animal. At least one of the first and second parts is movable toward and away from the other of the first and second parts. Each of the first and second parts comprises an outer surface, and has a receiving space defined therein, interiorly of the outer surface. Complementary magnetic elements are disposed within the receiving spaces, so that when the first and second parts are sufficiently close together, the complementary magnetic elements magnetically engage such that the first and second parts are releasably secured to one another. The first and second parts may represent first and second parts of a mouth, such as a maxillary portion of a jaw system and a mandibular portion of the jaw system.
A toy, comprising:
A toy comprising a body in the shape of an animal, the body having a mouth defined by two complementary mouth portions, at least one of the mouth portions being movable relative to the other mouth portion so that the mouth has a closed configuration and one or more open configurations, each mouth portion having a magnetic element positioned therewithin so that when the mouth is in the closed configuration, the magnetic elements are spaced from one another and cooperate to maintain the mouth in the closed configuration.
