An electronic tag is arranged in the inner space of the bell-shaped torso and the articulated legs are attached to a hip part that is attached to the bell-shaped torso via a snap lock, and so that the hip part rests against the lower rim and covers the opening. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A toy figure, comprising: a body part with a plurality of articulated legs attached thereto, wherein the body part comprises a bell-shaped torso with an inner space and a lower rim forming an opening to the inner space, and wherein an electronic tag is arranged in the inner space of the bell-shaped torso and the articulated legs are attached to a hip part that is attached to the bell-shaped torso and shaped so that the hip part rests against the lower rim and covers the opening, the hip part being attached to the bell-shaped torso part via a snap lock comprising at least one flexible cantilever beam, wherein the cantilever beam is attached to the hip part and extends into the inner space, and engages with a protrusion arranged on an inner side of the bell-shaped torso when the hip part and the bell-shaped torso are mutually assembled. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The toy figure according to claim 1, wherein the snap lock is adapted to provide a retention force being sufficiently higher than the insertion force to ensure that the hip part and the bell-shaped torso are inseparable after being mutually assembled. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The toy figure according to claim 1, wherein the bell-shaped torso comprises a flat or planar front wall and back wall, and wherein the front and back walls are arranged opposite to each other and are mutually interconnected via side walls extending between the periphery of the front wall and back wall. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The toy figure according to claim 1, wherein the electronic tag comprises an electronic chip and an antenna connected to the electronic chip, and wherein the antenna comprises an electric conductor and at least a first stretch of the electric conductor is arranged in a coil or a spiral. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The toy figure according to claim 4, wherein the first stretch of the electric conductor is arranged in a plane proximate with one of the flat or planar front wall or back wall. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The toy figure according to claim 5, wherein a second stretch of the electric conductor is arranged in a coil or a spiral in a plane proximate with the other one of the flat or planar front wall or back wall. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The toy figure according to claim 4, wherein the electronic tag comprises a bobbin with the electronic chip attached thereto and the electric conductor being wound around the bobbin to form each coil. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The toy figure according to claim 6, wherein the bobbin comprises two planar structures being mutually held apart by a bridging structure so that one of the planar structures is positioned parallel with and proximate with to the planar front wall and the other one of the planar structures is positioned parallel with and proximate with to the planar back wall, and wherein the first stretch of the electric conductor is wound around a periphery of one of the planar structures and the second stretch of the electric conductor is wound around a periphery of the other one of the planar structures. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The toy figure according to claim 1, wherein the cantilever beam extends between the two planar structures. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The toy figure according to claim 1, further comprising articulated arms, each being attached to the bell-shaped torso via an annular snap into a hole arranged in the bell-shaped torso. ### Claim 11 (depends on 11) The toy figure according to claim 11, wherein the flexible cantilever is U-shaped. ### Claim 12 A toy figure, comprising: a bell-shaped torso defining an inner space, an opening to the inner space bounded by a lower rim, and a protrusion arranged on an inner side of the bell-shaped torso; an electronic tag arranged within the inner space; and a hip part supporting a plurality of articulated legs, the hip part being shaped to rest against the lower rim and cover the opening, wherein the hip part is attached to the bell-shaped torso by a snap lock comprising at least one flexible cantilever beam extending from the hip part into the inner space to engage with the protrusion when the hip part and bell-shaped torso are assembled. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The toy figure according to claim 12, wherein the snap lock is adapted to provide a retention force being sufficiently higher than the insertion force, thereby coupling the hip part with the bell-shaped torso. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The toy figure according to claim 12, wherein the bell-shaped torso comprises a flat front wall and a flat back wall, the flat front and back walls being arranged opposite to each other and interconnected via side walls extending between a periphery of the front wall and back wall. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The toy figure according to claim 12, wherein the electronic tag comprises an electronic chip and an antenna connected to the electronic chip, and wherein the antenna comprises an electric conductor and at least a first stretch of the electric conductor is arranged in a coil or a spiral. ### Claim 16 (depends on 12) The toy figure according to claim 12, wherein the flexible cantilever is U-shaped. ### Claim 17 (depends on 12) The toy figure according to claim 12, wherein the electronic tag comprises: a bobbin coupled with the electronic chip, the bobbin comprising two planar structures that are mutually held apart by a bridging structure; and an electric conductor connected to the electronic chip, wherein a first stretch of the electric conductor is wound around a periphery of one of the planar structures and is arranged in a coil or a spiral, wherein a second stretch of the electric conductor is wound around a periphery of the other one of the planar structures and is arranged in a coil or a spiral, and wherein one of the planar structures is positioned parallel with and proximate with the planar front wall and another other one of the planar structures is positioned parallel with and proximate with the planar back wall. ### Claim 18 A toy figure, comprising: a bell-shaped torso defining an inner space, an opening to the inner space bounded by a lower rim, and a protrusion arranged on an inner side of the bell-shaped torso, the bell-shaped torso having a planar front wall and an opposite planar back wall interconnected by side walls; an electronic tag arranged within the inner space, the electronic tag comprising a bobbin with an electronic chip attached thereto, the bobbin comprising two planar structures mutually held apart by a bridging structure; an electric conductor connected to the electronic chip, a first stretch of the electric conductor being wound around a periphery of one of the planar structures and is arranged in a coil or a spiral, and a second stretch of the electric conductor being wound around a periphery of the other one of the planar structures to form a second coil or spiral, and wherein one of the planar structures is positioned parallel with, and proximate to, the planar front wall and the other one of the planar structures is positioned parallel with, and proximate to, the planar back wall; and a hip part supporting a plurality of articulated legs, the hip part being shaped to rest against the lower rim and cover the opening, the hip part being attached to the bell-shaped torso via a snap lock comprising at least one cantilever beam, extending from the hip part into the inner space to engage the protrusion when the hip part and the bell-shaped torso are assembled. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The toy figure according to claim 18, wherein the flexible cantilever is U-shaped. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The toy figure according to claim 18, wherein the snap lock is adapted to provide a retention force being sufficiently higher than the insertion force, thereby coupling the hip part with the bell-shaped torso.
