[0023] Hereinafter, the embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following embodiments do not limit the invention involved in the claims. In addition, all combinations of features described in the embodiments are not necessarily required for the invention. Two or more of the multiple features described in the embodiments may also be combined arbitrarily. In addition, the same or similar structures are marked with the same figure numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

[0024] A configuration example of a model toy 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of a model toy 100 according to an embodiment. In this specification, for easy understanding of the description, the directions of the model toy 100 are represented by an XYZ coordinate system in which the front-back direction of the human figure 10 is set as the X direction, the left-right direction of the human figure 10 is set as the Y direction, and the up-down direction of the human figure 10 is set as the Z direction. The +X direction represents the front surface side of the human figure 10, and the -X direction represents the back side of the human figure 10. The +Y direction represents the left side of the human figure 10, and the -Y direction represents the right side of the human figure 10. The +Z direction represents the upper side of the human figure 10, and the -Z direction represents the lower side of the human figure 10.

[0025] The model toy 100 of this embodiment includes a human figure 10 and an ornament 20. The human figure 10 includes a head 11, a torso 12, a shoulder 13, an arm 14, a waist 15, and a leg 16. The ornament 20 is a part (model toy part) attached to the human figure 10 and is configured as armor equipped on the human figure 10. Figure 1 In the figure, as a part of the ornament 20, a shoulder armor 22 (second accessory) covering the shoulder 13 of the human figure 10 is shown.

[0026] In the past, shoulder armor covering the shoulders of a human figure was directly mounted on the shoulders or arms of the human figure. However, in such a conventional structure, the movable area of ​​the arm 14 that is movable relative to the shoulder is sometimes limited, and it may be difficult to achieve movements and postures close to those of a human. Therefore, the shoulder armor 22 in the model toy 100 of the present embodiment is rotatably connected to the back armor 21 (first accessory) connected to the back of the human figure 10. That is, the shoulder armor 22 is mounted on the human figure 10 with the aid of the back armor 21. The following describes the structure for mounting the shoulder armor 22 on the human figure 10 in the model toy 100 of the present embodiment.

[0027] First, the structure for connecting the back armor 21 and the human body 10 will be described. Figure 2 This is a diagram of the human figure 10 as viewed from the back side. The back armor 21 is connected to the back 12a (back side) of the torso 12 in the human figure 10. For example, a recess 12b is provided on the back 12a of the human figure 10, and a convex portion 21a is provided on the back armor 21. The back armor 21 is connected to the back 12a of the human figure 10 by inserting (inserting) the convex portion 21a of the back armor 21 into the recess 12b of the back 12a of the human figure 10. In addition, in the present embodiment, the structure is such that the recess 12b is provided on the back 12a of the human figure 10 and the convex portion 21a is provided on the back armor 21, but it may be the other way around. That is, it may also be such that a convex portion is provided on the back 12a of the human figure 10 and a recess is provided on the back armor 21.

[0028] Next, the structure for rotatably connecting the shoulder armor 22 to the back armor 21 will be described. The shoulder armor 22 is connected to the back armor 21 so as to be rotatable about a plurality of axes relative to the back armor 21. In the model toy 100 of the present embodiment, the shoulder armor 22 is connected to the back armor 21 via the first connecting member 23 and the second connecting member 24.

[0029] Figure 3This is a diagram for explaining the connection between the back armor 21 and the first connecting member 23. The first connecting member 23 is a member connected to the back armor 21 in a manner that allows rotation around a first axis. The first connecting member 23 is provided with a recessed portion 23a (opening), and the recessed portion 23a engages with a protruding portion 21b provided on the side of the back armor 21. Thus, the first connecting member 23 is connected to the back armor 21 in a manner that allows rotation, with the extension axis of the protruding portion 21b of the back armor 21 being the first axis. Here, in the present embodiment, the first connecting member 23 is provided with a recessed portion 23a, and the back armor 21 is provided with a protruding portion 21b, but the reverse may be possible. That is, the first connecting member 23 may be provided with a protruding portion, and the back armor 21 may be provided with a recessed portion. That is, the back armor 21 and the first connecting member 23 are connected to each other rotatably about the extension axis of the convex portion as the first axis by engaging a convex portion (first convex portion) provided in one of them with a concave portion (first concave portion) provided in the other.

[0030] Figure 4 This is a diagram for explaining the connection between the first connecting member 23 and the second connecting member 24. The first connecting member 23 is connected to the back armor 21 in a rotatable manner. The second connecting member 24 is a member connected to the first connecting member 23 in a rotatable manner around a second axis different from the first axis. The second connecting member 24 is provided with a recessed portion 24a (opening), and the recessed portion 24a engages with a protruding portion 23b provided on the first connecting member 23. Thus, the second connecting member 24 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 23 with the extension axis of the protruding portion 23b of the first connecting member 23 as the second axis. Here, in the present embodiment, the second connecting member 24 is provided with a recessed portion 24a and the first connecting member 23 is provided with a protruding portion 23b, but the reverse may be possible. That is, the second connecting member 24 may be provided with a protruding portion and the first connecting member 23 may be provided with a recessed portion. That is, the first connecting member 23 and the second connecting member 24 are connected to each other rotatably about the extension axis of the convex portion as the second axis by engaging a convex portion (second convex portion) provided in one of them with a concave portion (second concave portion) provided in the other.

[0031] Figure 5This is a diagram for explaining the connection between the second connecting member 24 and the shoulder armor 22. The second connecting member 24 is connected to the first connecting member 23 in a rotatable manner. The shoulder armor 22 is connected to the second connecting member 24 in a rotatable manner around a third axis different from the first axis and the second axis. A recess 22a (opening) is provided in the shoulder armor 22, and the recess 22a engages with a protrusion 24b provided in the second connecting member 24. Thus, the shoulder armor 22 is connected to the second connecting member 24 in a rotatable manner with the extension axis of the protrusion 24b of the second connecting member 24 as the third axis. Here, in the present embodiment, the shoulder armor 22 is configured to be provided with a recess 22a and a protrusion 24b in the second connecting member 24, but the opposite may be true. That is, a structure in which a protrusion is provided in the shoulder armor 22 and a recess is provided in the second connecting member 24 may also be used. That is, the second connecting member 24 and the shoulder armor 22 are connected to each other in a manner that allows them to rotate with the extension axis of the convex portion as the third axis by engaging a convex portion (third convex portion) provided on one of them with a concave portion (third concave portion) provided on the other.

[0032] Figure 6 The state where the shoulder armor 22 is connected to the back armor 21 by means of the first connecting member 23 and the second connecting member 24 is shown. As described above, the first connecting member 23 is connected to the back armor 21 in a manner that can rotate around the first axis, the second connecting member 24 is connected to the first connecting member 23 in a manner that can rotate around the second axis, and the shoulder armor 22 is connected to the second connecting member 24 in a manner that can rotate around the third axis. As a result, the shoulder armor 22 can be rotated relative to the back armor 21 around multiple axes (the first axis to the third axis). In addition, in this embodiment, an example of connection using an axial movable portion is described, but as long as the connection is made using a connecting portion that allows the shoulder armor 22 to be movable (rotatable) relative to the back armor 21, there is no particular limitation, such as connection based on a spherical connecting portion that can rotate in multiple directions.

[0033] Figure 7 The figure 100 shows a state where the back armor 21 and the shoulder armor 22 are mounted on the human figure 10. In the model toy 100 of the present embodiment, the shoulder armor 22 is rotatably connected (mounted) to the back armor 21 connected to the back 12a of the human figure 10 as described above, and is not directly connected to the human figure 10 (e.g., the shoulder 13, the arm 14). According to this structure, the movable range of the arm 14 relative to the shoulder 13 can be reduced by the restriction of the shoulder armor 22, and in the human figure 10 equipped with the decorative article 20 such as the shoulder armor 22, it is possible to realize actions and postures closer to humans.

[0034] Here, in the present embodiment, the structure in which the shoulder armor 22 covering the shoulder of the human figure 10 is connected to the back armor 21 is described, but the above structure of the shoulder armor 22 can also be applied to other accessories that cover a part of the human figure 10. In addition, the back armor 21 can also be applied to other accessories connected to the back of the human figure 10. That is, the accessory (second accessory) covering a part of the human figure 10 is connected to the first accessory (back armor 21) in a rotatable manner. Moreover, the accessory (second accessory) covering a part of the human figure 10 is not directly connected to (a part of) the human figure 10.

[0035] In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various deformations and changes can be made within the scope of the main purpose of the invention. For example, the shape of the human body is not particularly limited, including various shapes such as humans, animals, robots, and dinosaurs. In addition, for example, the shape of the parts for model toys is not particularly limited, including various shapes such as armor, accessories, capes, clothing accessories, and decorative accessories.
