and a body (4) provided as a modified asymmetrical cylinder, which reduces its size at a higher end of the body (4) and assimilating a neck of the body (4), wherein the hollow sphere (1) is formed by two hinges (9A, 9B) of plastic material adjoined to cap (5) that includes one or more internal springs within the cap (5) that maintain these hinges (9A, 9B) under tension, wherein when the convex protuberance (3) is pressed ejects the body (4), and is capable of transforming its original compact shape into a new entity, without the need to manipulate parts or add new parts to this toy, in such a way that if the sphere is held by the edges it activates the operation and starts to rotate on its own axis, in such a way that, when the sphere (1) receives a strike, the internal body of the sphere (1) moves the body with the impact (4); changing between sphere (1) and the body (4) an identity different from an initial shape. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein as soon as the body (4) is outside of the sphere (1), it is constituted in the head of the body. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the body (4) is composed of a single part, which provides it with higher rigidity and resistance. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the shape of the body (4) can display several aspects depending on the targeted segment, from the type of color, pattern, among others and whether animal or human, the latter with either male, female or asexual gender, or with the appearance of a baby, a child or an adult. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the sphere (1) can allow for different variations, ranging from an oval shape, different colors or textures, or different faces, depending on the adhesive adjoined to the frontal, lateral and rear surfaces. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising indicia on an exterior surface of the sphere (1) of one or more characters, shapes, graphics, or lines. ### Claim 7 A method of making a sphere-shaped toy that rotates on its own axis, when held from an edges or a body with a retractable mechanism capable of transforming its original compact shape into a new entity, without the need to manipulate its parts or add new parts comprising: providing a hollow sphere (1), provided with an opening (2) on a lower end of the hollow sphere (1), and at a higher end of the hollow sphere (1) a convex protuberance (3) that has a surface at or projected above the hollow sphere (1); and inserting a body (4) that is provided as a modified asymmetrical cylinder, which reduces its size at a higher end of the body (4) and assimilating a neck of the body (4), wherein the hollow sphere (1) is formed by two hinges (9A, 9B) of plastic material adjoined to cap (5) that includes one or more internal springs within the cap (5) that maintain these hinges (9A, 9B) under tension, wherein when the convex protuberance (3) is pressed ejects the body (4), and is capable of transforming its original compact shape into a new entity, without the need to manipulate parts or add new parts to this toy, in such a way that if the sphere is held by the edges it activates the operation and starts to rotate on its own axis, in such a way that, when the sphere (1) receives a strike, the internal body of the sphere (1) moves the body with the impact (4); changing between sphere (1) and the body (4) an identity different from an initial shape. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the body (4) is out of the sphere (1), it is constituted at the head of the body. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the body (4) is constituted by one single part, which provides it with a higher rigidity and resistance. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the shape of the body (4) can display several aspects, depending on the targeted segment, from the type of color, pattern, among others, whether it is animal or human, the latter with either male, female, or asexual gender, or with the appearance of a baby, a child or an adult. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the sphere (1) can allow for different variations, ranging from an oval shape, different colors or textures, or different faces, depending on the adhesive adjoined to the frontal, lateral and rear surfaces. ### Claim 12 A toy with a retractable mechanism capable of transforming its original compact shape into a new entity, without the need to manipulate its parts or add new parts, consisting essentially of: a hollow sphere (1), provided with an opening (2) on a lower end of the hollow sphere (1), and at a higher end of the hollow sphere (1) a convex protuberance (3) that has a surface at or projected above the hollow sphere (1); a body (4) provided as a modified asymmetrical cylinder, which reduces its size at a higher end of the body (4) and assimilating a neck of the body (4), wherein the hollow sphere (1) is formed by two hinges (9A, 9B) of plastic material adjoined to cap (5) that includes one or more internal springs within the cap (5) that maintain these hinges (9A, 9B) under tension, wherein when the convex protuberance (3) is pressed ejects the body (4), and is capable of transforming its original compact shape into a new entity, without the need to manipulate parts or add new parts to this toy, in such a way that if the sphere is held by the edges it activates the operation and starts to rotate on its own axis, in such a way that, when the sphere (1) receives a strike, the internal body of the sphere (1) moves the body with the impact (4); changing between sphere (1) and the body (4) an identity different from an initial shape. ### Claim 13 A toy with a retractable mechanism capable of transforming its original compact shape into a new entity, without the need to manipulate its parts or add new parts, consisting of: a hollow sphere (1), provided with an opening (2) on a lower end of the hollow sphere (1), and at a higher end of the hollow sphere (1) a convex protuberance (3) that has a surface at or projected above the hollow sphere (1); and a body (4) provided as a modified asymmetrical cylinder, which reduces its size at a higher end of the body (4) and assimilating a neck of the body (4), wherein the hollow sphere (1) is formed by two hinges (9A, 9B) of plastic material adjoined to cap (5) that includes one or more internal springs within the cap (5) that maintain these hinges (9A, 9B) under tension, wherein when the convex protuberance (3) is pressed ejects the body (4), and is capable of transforming its original compact shape into a new entity, without the need to manipulate parts or add new parts to this toy, in such a way that if the sphere is held by the edges it activates the operation and starts to rotate on its own axis, in such a way that, when the sphere (1) receives a strike, the internal body of the sphere (1) moves the body with the impact (4); changing between sphere (1) and the body (4) an identity different from an initial shape.
