Abstract
The invention concerns toy animal figures with four legs and a rigid, shaped body. In order to achieve as natural an appearance of such figures as possible, also to enable a toy human figure with a realistically small leg spacing to be mounted on the animal figure, preferably with a saddle, the middle of the animal body is formed by a narrow web coverable either by a centerpiece completing the body or by a saddle. When the centerpiece is placed in position no "rider" can be mounted thereon. When, however, a saddle is mounted, in place of the centerpiece, a figure with small leg spacing can "ride" on the animal.
Claims6
a quadruped toy animal figure of the type used to mount a rider comprising a rigid body capable of carrying a saddle, wherein the improvement consists in that the middle of the body is constructed from a narrow web extending in the longitudinal direction of the body between front and rear parts of generally naturally appearing proportion;
- a body centerpiece and a saddle each formed with respective means enabling either one of them to be selectably securely mounted on said web;
- said centerpiece being shaped at its outer surface to blend with the contour of the parts of the said body adjacent to the said web.
