Action toy and movable member

Abstract

An action toy includes a toy body including four mounting units, four function switches removably mounted to the four mounting units, detection means disposed in the toy body, where the detection means detects that each of the function switches is mounted to one of the mounting units, a dramatic effect unit disposed in the toy body, where the dramatic effect unit creates a dramatic effect using light or sound, and a control unit disposed in the toy body. When the detection means detects that one of the function switch is attached to the toy body, the control unit causes the dramatic effect unit to create a first dramatic effect. When a push button unit is operated, the control unit causes the dramatic effect unit to create a second dramatic effect.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0018]According to another embodiment of the present invention, a movable member removably attached to a mounting unit of a toy body including at least one mounting unit is provided. The movable member includes an operation unit operable by a user, a first identification unit used by detection means disposed in the toy body to detect that the movable member is attached to the mounting unit, and a second identification unit that allows a control unit disposed in the toy body to detect an operation performed on the operation unit. In addition, the second identification unit can perform a stick-out operation caused by the operation performed on the operation unit, and a control unit disposed in the toy body can detect the stick-out operation.

[0019]According to the present invention, an entertaining toy that allows the user to enjoy a variety of dramatic effects and that allows the user to create a dramatic effect through their own operation can be provided.

Problems solved by technology

However, although, like the toy described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-123276, existing toys can generate a variety of sounds, the user cannot create their own dramatic effect through their direct operation.

Accordingly, the user who wants to create a dramatic effect at an intended point in time through their operation and enjoy more realistic dramatic effect is not satisfied by the toy.
