[0016] A toy figure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 11. In the following description, the near side of Figure 1(a) will be referred to as the front (front) of the toy figure, the far side as the rear (back), the left side as the left side, and the right side as the right side.
[0017] 1(a), (b), and 2, the toy figure 1 is mainly composed of a head part 2 as a basic part, a front hair part 3, a back hair part 4, and a hair accessory part 5 as covering parts, front and back torso parts 6, 6, left and right arm parts 7, 7, and leg parts 8. The head part 2, front hair part 3, back hair part 4, hair accessory part 5, torso parts 6, 6, arm parts 7, 7, and leg parts 8 are made of synthetic resin such as soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Note that these parts are not limited to those made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and may be made of other materials such as ABS, polyresin, acrylic resin, polystone, cold cast, etc. Also, different materials may be used for each part.
[0018] The head part 2, torso parts 6, 6, arm parts 7, 7, and leg parts 8 are connected to one another by connecting members 9 (see Figure 2). In addition, the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 are detachably connected to the head part 2 by connecting members 10 (see Figure 3) provided on the head part 2.
[0019] The head part 2, the torso parts 6, 6, the arm parts 7, 7, and the leg parts 8 may be detachably connected to each other, or may be permanently connected to each other. Also, at least two or more of the head part 2, the torso parts 6, 6, the arm parts 7, 7, and the leg parts 8 may be formed integrally.
[0020] As shown in Figures 3(a) to (d), the head part 2 is formed in a generally elliptical shape in a plan view, and the peripheral surfaces consisting of the front, rear, left side, and right side are colored in a predetermined color (for example, flesh color) by painting or the like. As shown in Figures 3(e) and (f), the head part 2 is formed hollow inside, and an opening is formed in the upper surface, and the lower part of the connecting member 10 is fitted into this opening, thereby integrating the connecting member 10 with the head part 2. In addition, a hexagonal hole 2a facing up and down is formed in the lower part, into which the upper end of the connecting member 9 can be inserted.
[0021] The connecting member 10 is mainly composed of a flange 10a that closes the upper opening of the head part 2, an upper connecting part 10b that protrudes upward from the flange 10a, and a lower connecting part 10c that protrudes downward from the flange 10a. The front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 can be fitted into the upper connecting part 10b from the front and back, and the head part 2 can be fitted into the lower connecting part 10c from below through the upper opening.
[0022] The upper connecting portion 10b is composed of a plate-shaped restricting portion 10e facing the front-rear direction and erected on the upper surface of the flange 10a, a plate-shaped restricting portion 10f extending in the left-right direction from approximately the center of the restricting portion 10e in the front-rear direction, and a plate-shaped guide portion 10d having a generally rectangular shape in a plan view and disposed approximately parallel to the flange 10a above the restricting portions 10e and 10f. Because the upper connecting portion 10b is formed symmetrically in the front-rear direction, it is possible to connect the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 by inserting them from the front or rear, as described below (see FIG. 6). In this embodiment, the connecting member 10 is formed as a separate member from the head part 2, but at least the upper connecting portion 10b may be formed integrally with the upper part of the head part 2.
[0023] As shown in Figures 3(a) to (c), decorative facial parts 11, 21 are printed on the front and back of the head part 2, and convex ears 12, 12 that are common to the front and back facial parts 11, 21 are formed on the left and right sides.
[0024] 3(a), on the front face 11, eyes 11a, 11a that make up the facial expression of the facial part 11 are displayed on the left and right, eyebrows 11b, 11b are displayed on the left and right above the eyes 11a, 11a, blush 11c, 11c are displayed below the eyes 11a, 11a, and a mouth 11d is displayed below and between the eyes 11a, 11a. A smiling face (expression) is expressed by these eyes 11a, 11a, eyebrows 11b, 11b, blush 11c, 11c, and mouth 11d.
[0025] 3(b), on the front face 21, eyes 21a, 21a that make up the facial expression of the facial part 21 are displayed on the left and right, eyebrows 21b, 21b are displayed on the left and right above the eyes 21a, rouge 21c, 21c are displayed below the eyes 21a, 21a, and a mouth 21d is displayed below and between the eyes 21a, 21a. A serious face (expression) is expressed by the eyes 21a, 21a, eyebrows 21b, 21b, rouge 21c, 21c, and mouth 21d.
[0026] In this way, the eyes 11a, 11a, 21a, 21a, eyebrows 11b, 11b, 21b, 21b, blush 11c, 11c, 21c, 21c, and mouth 11d, 21d are parts (ornaments) that make up the facial parts 11, 21, and these parts are arranged in approximately symmetrical positions on the front and rear facial parts 11, 21, but the facial parts 11, 21 have different expressions depending on their respective shapes, sizes, colors, etc. In other words, two facial parts 11, 21 with different expressions are displayed on the front and rear surfaces of one head part 2.
[0027] Although the above embodiment shows the application of eyes, eyebrows, blush, and mouth as the parts constituting the decorative facial parts 11, 21, the present invention is not limited to this and may include skin, nose, ears, eyelashes, or makeup such as eyeliner. Furthermore, while the facial part 11 shows a smiling face and the facial part 21 shows a smug face, other expressions such as a crying face or an angry face may also be used. Furthermore, the decorative parts 11, 21, etc. are displayed by printing, but the decorations are not limited to printing and may be displayed by attaching stickers or the like.
[0028] As shown in Figures 4(a) and (b), the bangs part 3 is non-translucent and is colored a predetermined color (e.g., blue) by painting or the like, and has an upper hair part 31 that is placed on the upper part of the head part 2, a bangs part 32 that is placed on the front side of the head part 2, and a recess 33 that is formed on the inner surface of the upper hair part 31 and the bangs part 32 and into which the head part 2 fits.
[0029] A horizontally oriented groove 34 is provided on the rear surface 31b of the upper hair part 31, extending forward, into which the guide part 10d of the connecting member 10 can be inserted, and a vertically oriented groove 35 is provided below the groove 34, extending forward, into which the restricting part 10e of the connecting member 10 can be inserted. In addition, a fitted part 36 is formed on the top surface of the upper hair part 31, into which the fitting part 5a (see Figure 6(a)) protruding from the inner surface of the hair accessory part 5 can be fitted.
[0030] The front hair portion 32 extends downward from the upper hair portion 31 and has a front covering portion 32a arranged along the front surface of the head part 2, and side covering portions 32b arranged along the left and right sides of the head part 2 (see FIG. 10(b)). In addition, a substantially triangular cutout portion 38 is formed on the lower right side of the front covering portion 32a, and this cutout portion 38 allows part of the face portion 11 to be exposed to the outside.
[0031] As shown in Figures 5(a) and (b), the rear hair part 4 is non-translucent and is colored a predetermined color (e.g., blue) by painting or the like, and has an upper hair part 41 that is placed on the top of the head part 2, a rear hair part 42 that is placed on the back side of the head part 2, and a recess 43 that is formed on the inner surface of the upper hair part 41 and the rear hair part 42 and into which the head part 2 fits.
[0032] A horizontal groove portion 44 extends forward on the front surface 41b of the upper hair portion 41, into which the guide portion 10d of the connecting member 10 can be inserted, and below the groove portion 44, a vertical groove portion 45 extends forward into which the regulating portion 10e of the connecting member 10 can be inserted.
[0033] The rear hair part 42 extends downward from the upper hair part 41 and includes a rear covering part 42a arranged along the rear surface of the head part 2, and horizontal covering parts 42b arranged along the left and right side surfaces of the head part 2 (see FIG. 10(b)). A protrusion 46 having a generally vertically elongated rectangular shape in a front view protrudes forward from the inner surface of the rear covering part 42a at a generally upper central position in the left-right direction, and protrusions 47, 47 smaller than the protrusion 46 protrude forward from the left and right sides of the protrusion 46. The front surface 46a of the protrusion 46 and the front surfaces 47a of the protrusions 47 abut against the front and rear surfaces of the head part 2 when the rear hair part 4 is attached to the head part 2. The front surfaces 46a of the protrusion 46 and the front surfaces 47a of the protrusions 47 may be close to the front and rear surfaces of the head part 2 when the rear hair part 4 is attached to the head part 2.
[0034] As shown in Figures 6(a) and (b), the hair ornament part 5 is opaque, painted a predetermined color (e.g., white), and formed in a generally arc-shaped configuration. A fitting portion 5a is formed on the inner surface, which can fit into the fitting portion 36 formed on the upper surface of the upper hair part 31. The colors of the head part 2, front hair part 3, back hair part 4, and hair ornament part 5 are not limited to the above colors and can be changed in various ways. The surface color of each part may be the color of the synthetic resin material, or may be painted or printed.
[0035] [How to connect the front hair parts, back hair parts, and hair accessory parts to the head part] Next, a method for connecting the front hair part 3, the back hair part 4, and the hair accessory part 5 to the head part 2 will be described.
[0036] 6(a) and 7(a), the front hair part 3 is first placed on the front side of the head part 2 with the rear surface 31b facing rearward. Next, the front hair part 3 is moved rearward toward the head part 2, and the groove 34 is inserted into the guide part 10d that is generally rectangular in plan view, and the groove 35 is inserted into the restriction part 10e that is vertically oriented and extends in the front-to-rear direction. As a result, the front hair part 3 is guided rearward with its lateral rotation restricted.
[0037] Next, the front end surface of the restricting portion 10e comes into contact with the rear end surface of the recessed groove portion 35, and the rear surface 31b comes into contact with the restricting portion 10f, restricting the rearward movement of the front hair part 3, so that the front side of the head part 2 fits into the recess 33 and is connected to the head part 2 (see Figs. 6(b) and 7(b)). Also, the inner surfaces of the left and right side covering portions 32b, 32b, which serve as contact portions for the front hair part 3, come into contact with the left and right side portions of the head part 2, which are between the front and rear facial portions 11, 21 and do not affect the decoration, so that the front hair part 3 is stably supported by the head part 2 (see Fig. 10(b)).
[0038] As shown in Figures 6(a) and 7(a), the rear hair part 4 is first placed on the rear side of the head part 2 with the front surface 41b facing forward. Next, the rear hair part 4 is moved forward toward the head part 2, and the groove 44 is inserted into the guide part 10d, which is generally rectangular in plan view, and the groove 45 is inserted into the restriction part 10e, which is vertically oriented and extends in the front-to-rear direction. As a result, the rear hair part 4 is guided forward with its lateral rotation restricted (see Figures 6(b) and 7(b)).
[0039] Next, the rear end surface of the restricting portion 10e comes into contact with the rear end surface of the recessed groove portion 45, and the front surface 41b comes into contact with the restricting portion 10f, restricting the forward movement of the rear hair part 4, so that the front side of the head part 2 fits into the recess 43 and is connected to the head part 2 (see Figs. 6(b) and 7(b)). Also, the inner surfaces of the left and right side covering portions 42b, 42b, which serve as contact portions for the rear hair part 4, come into contact with the left and right side portions of the head part 2, which are between the front and rear facial portions 11, 21 and do not affect the decoration, so that the rear hair part 4 is stably supported by the head part 2 (see Fig. 10(b)).
[0040] The rear hair part 4 may be attached to the head part 2 before the front hair part 3. The restricting portion 10e also functions as a guide portion that guides the front hair part 3 and the rear hair part 4 in the attachment direction.
[0041] After connecting the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 to the head part 2, the hair accessory part 5 is lowered from above to fit the fitting part 5a into the fitting part 36 of the front hair part 3, thereby connecting the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 so as to cover the joint between them (see Figures 6(b) and 7(b)).
[0042] As shown in Figures 8(a) and (b), when the front hair part 3 is placed on the facial part 11 side on the front side of the head part 2 and the back hair part 4 is placed on the facial part 21 side on the back side and connected together, gaps S1 and S2 are formed between the facial parts 11 and 21 on which at least the unexposed decoration on the surface of the head part 2 is printed and the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 (see Figures 9 and 10).
[0043] 8(a) and 8(b), the front hair part 3 is attached to the head part 2 at a position where a portion of the ornamentation of the front face part 11 (in this example, the right eye 11a and the left side of the eyebrow 11b, the left and right blushes 11c, 11c, and the mouth 11d when viewed from the front) is visibly exposed through the cutout 38, and the other ornamentation of the face part 11 (in this example, the left eye 11a and eyebrow 11b when viewed from the front) is covered by the front covering part 32a. The rear hair part 4 is attached to a position where the ornamentation of the rear face part 21 (in this example, the eyes 21a, 21a, eyebrows 21b, 21b, blushes 21c, 21c, and mouth 21d of the face part 21) is covered by the rear covering part 42a. In other words, in this case, the face of the figure toy 1 is configured by exposing a portion of the ornamentation constituting the front face part 11.
[0044] 9(a), (b) and 10(a), (b), when the front hair part 3 and the rear hair part 4 are attached and connected to the head part 2 in this manner, a gap S1 is formed on the surface of the head part 2 between the left eye 11a and eyebrow 11b, which constitute the face part 11 when viewed from the front, and the front covering part 32a of the front hair part 3. Also, a gap S2 is formed on the surface of the head part 2 between the left and right eyes 21a, 21a, eyebrows 21b, 21b, blush 21c, 21c, and mouth 21d, which constitute the face part 21, and the rear covering part 42a of the rear hair part 4 when viewed from the back.
[0045] This makes it possible to avoid contact between the eyes 11a, 11a, 21a, 21a, eyebrows 11b, 11b, 21b, 21b, blush 11c, 11c, 21c, 21c and mouth 11d, 21d, which are decorations printed on the surface of the head part 2, and the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4, thereby preventing these decorations from being lost or damaged, and preventing the beauty of the decorations from being damaged by color transfer from the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4.
[0046] Furthermore, because the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 as covering parts are divided into front and back halves, when attaching them to the head part 2, the front hair part 3 can be fitted from the front of the facial part 11, and the back hair part 4 can be fitted from the back of the facial part 21. In other words, the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 can be attached without, for example, sliding along the facial parts 11, 21 on the surface of the head part 2, so that the decoration on the facial parts 11, 21 is prevented from being lost or damaged by contact with the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 when attaching and removing them. Furthermore, even when attached, the decoration on the facial parts 11, 21 is prevented from being lost or damaged by contact with the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4.
[0047] 9(a) and 9(b), the rear hair part 4 has protrusions 46 and 47 that protrude toward the circumferential surface of the head part 2 at positions (see FIG. 8(b)) that do not face the portion of the circumferential surface of the head part 2 on which the decoration is printed when the rear hair part 4 is attached to the head part 2. As a result, even if an inward external force is applied, such as when the rear covering part 42a of the rear hair part 4 is pushed toward the head part 2, the protrusions 46 and 47, 47 come into contact with the circumferential surface of the head part 2, restricting the rear covering part 42a from moving inward, and preventing contact between the rear covering part 42a of the rear hair part 4 and the decoration on the head part 2.
[0048] It is preferable that the gaps S1 and S2 are gaps in which the distance between the front covering portion 32a of the front hair part 3 and the rear covering portion 42a of the rear hair part 4 and the surface of the head part 2 is at least about 1 mm, but the distance across the entire area of the gaps S1 and S2 does not have to be approximately the same.
[0049] In addition, in the state shown in Figures 8(a) and (b), the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 can be removed from the head part 2, and the front and back of the head part 2 can be reversed and the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 can be attached, thereby changing the exposed facial part to the back facial part 21.
[0050] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11(a), by attaching a front hair part 3 to the rear side of the facial part 21, and as shown in FIG. 11(b), by attaching a back hair part 4 to the front side of the facial part 11, some of the decorations on the facial part 21 (for example, the right eye 21a and the left side of the eyebrow 21b when viewing the facial part 21 from the front, the left and right blushes 21c, 21c, mouth 21d, etc.) are exposed, and other decorations (for example, the left eye 21a and eyebrow 21b when viewing the facial part 21 from the front, the eyes 11a, 11a of the facial part 11, eyebrows 11b, 11b, blushes 11c, 11c, and mouth 11d, etc.) are covered, and the facial expression can be easily changed as a decoration.
[0051] [Actions and Effects] As described above, the toy figure 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the head part 2 as a basic part having a plurality of different facial parts 11, 21 printed on the periphery thereof, and the front and rear facial parts 11, 21 which are detachably attached to the head part 2, and which expose some of the decorations of the front and rear facial parts 11, 21 (for example, the left side of the right eye 11a and eyebrow 11b when the facial part 11 is viewed from the front, the left and right cheek blushes 11c, 11c, the mouth 11d, etc.) and expose other decorations (for example, the left eye 11a and eyebrow 11b when the facial part 11 is viewed from the front, the eye 21a of the facial part 21, The head part 2 is provided with a front hair part 3 and a back hair part 4 as covering parts that cover the head parts (e.g., 21a, eyebrows 21b, 21b, blush 21c, 21c, and mouth 21d), and the decoration exposed from the front hair part 3 can be changed. When the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 are attached to a position where a portion of the decoration of the head part 2 is exposed, gaps S1 and S2 are formed between at least the portion of the head part 2 on which the decoration is printed that is not exposed and the front covering portion 32a of the front hair part 3 and the back covering portion 42a of the back hair part 4.
[0052] According to this, when the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 are attached to the head part 2 in a position where some of the decoration is exposed, gaps S1 and S2 are formed between at least the part of the head part 2 on which the decoration is printed and the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4, thereby preventing the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 from coming into contact with the head part 2 and causing the decoration to be lost or damaged, and preventing the beauty of the decoration from being damaged by color transfer from the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4.
[0053] In addition, gaps S1, S2 are formed between the lower ends of the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 and the head part 2, and it can be seen that the gaps S1, S2 are open downward, giving the impression of a three-dimensional head covered with hair.
[0054] Furthermore, the covering part is made up of a plurality of front hair parts 3 and back hair parts 4, and the front hair parts 3 and back hair parts 4 are attached to the head part 2 by, for example, fitting them from above, or by rotating them circumferentially while attached to the head part 2 when changing the decoration, without moving them along the circumferential surface on which the decoration is printed, by positioning them on the front and back sides facing the facial parts 11, 21 of the head part 2, that is, on the front and back sides facing each other across the head part 2, and thus it is possible to avoid contact between the decoration and the head part 2 when attaching the front hair parts 3 and back hair parts 4.
[0055] In addition, the head part 2 is formed with guide portions 10d and restricting portions 10e that guide the separated front hair part 3 and rear hair part 4 in the forward and backward directions toward the attachment position, so that the separated front hair part 3 and rear hair part 4 can be attached to the head part 2 in the appropriate position.
[0056] In addition, the head part 2 is formed with restricting portions 10e, 10f that restrict the movement of the divided front hair part 3 and back hair part 4 toward the head part 2, thereby restricting the movement of the front and back front hair parts 3 and back hair parts 4 attached along the guide portion 10d and restricting portion 10e toward the head part 2, thereby preventing the front hair parts 3 and back hair parts 4 from coming into contact with the decorations on the head part 2 when attached.
[0057] Furthermore, when the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 are attached in a position where some of the decoration on the head part 2 is exposed, protrusions 46 and 47 that protrude toward the periphery of the head part 2 are formed in positions that do not face the parts of the periphery of the head part 2 where the decoration is printed (for example, the eyes 21a or the eyebrows 21b, etc.), thereby preventing contact between the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 and the decoration on the head part 2 even when an external force is applied.
[0058] Furthermore, the decoration is made up of a plurality of decorations that make up one facial part 11, 21 (for example, eyes 11a, 11a, 21a, 21a, eyebrows 11b, 11b, 21b, 21b, blush 11c, 11c, 21c, 21c, and mouth 11d, 21d), and when the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 are attached to the head part 2 in a position where some of the decorations are exposed, the protrusion 46 is positioned between the multiple decorations that make up the rear facial part 21 (for example, between the eyes 21a, 21a), so that the protrusion 46, which is positioned in a position that does not affect the multiple decorations that make up the facial part 21, can prevent contact between the back hair part 4 and the multiple decorations that make up the facial part 21.
[0059] The decorations are a plurality of facial parts 11, 21 with different expressions, and the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 have horizontal covering parts 32b, 42b as abutment parts that abut on the left and right sides between the front and back facial parts 11, 21 of the head part 2 (see Figure 10(b)), thereby allowing the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 to be stably attached to the head part 2.
[0060] Furthermore, the figure toy 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a head part 2 as a basic part having a plurality of different facial parts 11, 21 printed on the periphery thereof, and a face part 21 detachably attached to the head part 2, which exposes some of the decorations of the front and rear facial parts 11, 21 (for example, the left side of the right eye 11a and eyebrow 11b when the facial part 11 is viewed from the front, the left and right cheek blushes 11c, 11c, the mouth 11d, etc.), and exposes other decorations (for example, the left eye 11a and eyebrow 11b when the facial part 11 is viewed from the front, the eyes 21a, 21b of the facial part 21, etc.). a, eyebrows 21b, 21b, blush 21c, 21c and mouth 21d, etc.), and the decoration exposed from the front hair part 3 can be changed. The covering part is made up of a plurality of front hair parts 3 and back hair parts 4, and the front hair parts 3 and back hair parts 4 can be attached to the head part 2 by being positioned from the front and back sides facing the facial parts 11, 21 of the head part 2, respectively, without moving them along the circumferential surface on which the decoration is printed.
[0061] This allows the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 to be attached to the head part 2 without having to move them along the circumferential surface on which the decoration is printed, thereby avoiding contact between the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 and the decoration on the head part 2. This prevents the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 from coming into contact with the head part 2 when attaching them, which could result in the decoration being lost or damaged, or the beauty of the decoration being marred by color transfer from the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4.
[0062] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and the present invention also includes modifications and additions that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention.
[0063] For example, in the above embodiment, a figure toy modeled after a human character is used as an example of a figure toy, but the present invention is not limited to this, and figure toys modeled after characters other than humans (e.g., animals, monsters, robots, etc.) can also be applied.
[0064] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a form was exemplified in which a single character has multiple facial parts 11, 21 with different facial expressions (for example, a smiling face and a serious face) printed on the head part 2 as decoration, but the present invention is not limited to this, and multiple characters with different facial features (for example, at least two or more characters with smiling faces) may be printed on the basic part.
[0065] 8(a) and 8(b), the front hair part 3 and the back hair part 4 may be removed from the head part 2, and a front hair part 3A different from the front hair part 3 may be attached to the front side of the face part 11 as shown in FIG. 12(a), and the back hair part 4 may be attached to the rear side of the face part 21 as shown in FIG. 12(b), and a hair ornament part 5A different from the hair ornament part 5 may be attached. This may expose some of the decorations of the face part 11 (for example, the eyes 11a, 11a, eyebrows 11b, 11b, blush 11c, 11c, and mouth 11d of the face part 11 when viewed from the front) and cover other decorations (for example, the eyes 21a, 21a, eyebrows 21b, 21b, blush 21c, 21c, and mouth 21d when viewed from the front of the face part 21), thereby allowing the face part to be changed to resemble another character with a different facial appearance.
[0066] In this way, by using the common head part 2 as a basic part and changing and attaching various covering parts, it is possible to easily change to multiple characters with different expressions and facial features. In the above case, it is also possible to change to a back hair part different from the back hair part 4. Furthermore, the basic parts and covering parts are compatible with different characters in the common series (they have a common connecting mechanism), and parts can be interchanged between multiple types of characters in the common series.
[0067] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a head part 2 with multiple facial parts 11, 21 printed thereon is used as the basic part with multiple different decorations printed on its periphery, and a divided front hair part 3, back hair part 4, and hair ornament part 5 are used as the covering parts. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, arm parts with multiple patterns (such as a coat of arms) printed thereon as decoration are used as the basic part, and sleeve parts that expose part of the arm are used as the covering part, and the exposed part of the arm part is attached by the sleeve part in a changeable manner, and multiple patterns can be switched by changing the attachment position of the sleeve part. In this way, parts other than the head and hair may be used as the basic part and covering part.
[0068] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, not only is the entire facial area 21 covered by the rear covering portion 42a of the rear hair part 4, but also a portion of the facial area 11 is covered by the front covering portion 32a of the front hair part 3, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is sufficient if at least a portion of the decoration is covered, and for example, the entire facial area 11 may be exposed without a portion of the facial area 11 being covered by the front covering portion 32a of the front hair part 3.
[0069] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the covering parts are exemplified as front hair parts 3, back hair parts 4, and hair ornament parts 5, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as long as there is a back hair part 4 that can cover at least a part of the face 21, it is not necessary to have the front hair parts 3 and hair ornament parts 5. Furthermore, the covering parts are not limited to those constituted by the front hair parts 3, back hair parts 4, and hair ornament parts 5 as described above, and may be constituted by clothing parts such as hats and accessories, for example.
[0070] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the covering part is exemplified as being composed of a front hair part 3 and a back hair part 4 divided into front and back parts, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the covering part may be formed as a single member, or may be composed of three or more divided parts.
[0071] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the covering part is composed of a front hair part 3 and a back hair part 4 that are divided into front and back parts, and is exemplified as a form that can be attached to the head part 2 from the front and back, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the covering part made of a single member may be attachable to the basic part from above, below, or the side.
