Abstract
An action figure fabrication toy in which a preselected action figure torso is placed in the center of the toy and individual body parts for the action figure are then placed in separate chambers arranged circumferentially about the center on opposite sides. The toy is then activated and one body part from each chamber is selected and automatically attached to the preselected torso, in order to form a composite action figure comprised of the torso and each of the selected body parts from each of the separate chambers.
Claims12
An action figure fabrication toy comprised of:
- a central chamber for retaining a torso piece of an action figure to be built using the toy;
- a plurality of smaller chambers positioned about the central chamber, each of said smaller chambers configured to hold a plurality of action figure body parts;
- wherein each of the plurality of smaller chambers includes a rotating floor configured to rotate about a central axis within said smaller chamber in which it is disposed;
- and
- wherein one body part from each of the plurality of body parts in each of the plurality of smaller chambers is automatically coupled to the torso piece retained in the central chamber when the toy is activated.
An alien action figure fabrication toy comprised of:
- a central chamber for retaining a torso piece of an alien action figure to be built using the toy;
- at least four smaller chambers positioned circumferentially about the central chamber, each for holding a plurality of alien action figure body parts;
- wherein an individual rotating floor is disposed within each of the at least four smaller chambers, each floor configured to rotate about a central axis within said smaller chamber in which it is disposed;
- and
- wherein one body part from each of the plurality of body parts in each of the at least four smaller chambers is automatically coupled to the torso piece retained in the central chamber when the toy is activated.
A toy for automatically assembling an action figure having a torso piece, a head piece, a left arm piece, a right arm piece, and a pair of legs piece, said toy comprising:
- a central chamber for retaining the torso piece of the action figure;
- a first smaller chamber positioned adjacent to the central chamber for retaining a plurality of head pieces;
- a second smaller chamber positioned adjacent to the central chamber for retaining a plurality of right arm pieces;
- a third smaller chamber positioned adjacent to the central chamber for retaining a plurality of left arm pieces;
- a fourth smaller chamber positioned adjacent to the central chamber for retaining a plurality of pair of leg pieces;
- wherein each of the four smaller chambers includes a rotating floor configured to rotate about a central axis within said smaller chamber;
- and
- wherein one piece from each of the four smaller chambers is automatically coupled to the torso piece retained in the central chamber when the toy is activated.
A method for building an action figure comprised of:
- retaining a torso piece of an action figure to be built within a central chamber;
- positioning a plurality of action figure body parts within a plurality of smaller chambers arranged around the central chamber;
- automatically moving one body part from each of the plurality of smaller chambers toward the torso piece retained in the central chamber until it couples with the torso piece;
- and
- rotating the plurality of body parts within each smaller chamber wherein each of the plurality of smaller chambers includes a rotating floor configured to rotate about a central axis within said smaller chamber in which it is disposed.
