Abstract
A toy having a humanoid body and a jet pack is provided. The toy includes a first fabric portion partially ejected from a first aperture in the jet pack in response to a lever being moved from a first position to a second position. The toy further includes a fan disposed in the body that blow airs across the first fabric portion. The toy further includes a first light emitting diode that illuminates the first fabric portion when the first fabric portion is partially ejected from the first aperture such that the first fabric portion simulates flames being emitted from the jet pack.

A toy, comprising:
- a humanoid body;
- a toy jet pack attached to the humanoid body;
- a first fabric portion being partially ejected from a first aperture in a housing of the toy jet pack in response to a lever being moved from a first position to a second position;
- a fan disposed in the humanoid body configured to blow air through a second aperture in the housing of the toy jet pack across the first fabric portion when a switch has a first operational position;
- and
- a first light emitting diode disposed on the toy jet pack configured to illuminate the first fabric portion when the switch has the first operational position and the first fabric portion is partially ejected from the first aperture such that the first fabric portion simulates flames being emitted from the toy jet pack.
A toy jet pack configured for use with an action figure, the toy jet pack comprising:
- a housing portion;
- a first fabric portion being partially ejected from a first aperture in the housing portion in response to a lever being moved from a first position to a second position;
- a fan disposed in the humanoid body configured to blow air through a second aperture in the housing portion across the first fabric portion when a switch has a first operational position;
- and
- a first light emitting diode disposed on the housing configured to illuminate the first fabric portion when the switch has the first operational position and the first fabric portion is partially ejected from the first aperture such that the first fabric portion simulates flames being emitted from the housing of the toy jet pack.
A toy comprising:
- a humanoid body;
- a housing coupled to one side of the humanoid body, the housing having a first aperture and a second aperture;
- a first fabric portion movably coupled to the housing;
- a lever operably coupled to the first fabric portion to move the first fabric portion from the first position to a second position, wherein the first fabric portion extends at least partially through the first aperture when in the second position;
- a fan operably coupled to move air through the second aperture;
- a switch coupled to fan;
- and
- at least one first light emitting diode disposed on the housing to direct light onto the first fabric portion when the first fabric portion is in the second position.
