[0009] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the following embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention as claimed, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the invention. Two or more of the features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. Furthermore, the same reference numerals are used for the same or similar components, and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0010] An example of the configuration of a model toy 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the model toy 100 according to one embodiment. In this specification, for ease of understanding, the orientation of the model toy 100 is indicated in an XYZ coordinate system, with the front-to-back direction of the doll body 10 being the X direction, the left-to-right direction of the doll body 10 being the Y direction, and the up-to-down direction of the doll body 10 being the Z direction. The +X direction indicates the front side of the doll body 10, and the -X direction indicates the back side of the doll body 10. The +Y direction indicates the left side of the doll body 10, and the -Y direction indicates the right side of the doll body 10. The +Z direction indicates the top side of the doll body 10, and the -Z direction indicates the bottom side of the doll body 10.

[0011] The model toy 100 of this embodiment includes a doll body 10 and an accessory 20. The doll body 10 includes a head 11, a torso 12, shoulders 13, arms 14, a waist 15, and legs 16. The accessory 20 is a part (model toy part) that is attached to the doll body 10, and is configured as armor that is equipped on the doll body 10. In FIG. 1, shoulder armor 22 (second part) that covers the shoulders 13 of the doll body 10 is shown as part of the accessory 20.

[0012] Conventionally, shoulder armor covering the shoulders of a doll body has been attached directly to the shoulders or arms of the doll body. However, such a conventional configuration can limit the range of motion of the arms 14, which are configured to move relative to the shoulders, making it difficult to achieve human-like movements and poses. Therefore, the shoulder armor 22 in the model toy 100 of this embodiment is rotatably connected to the back armor 21 (first part) connected to the back of the doll body 10. In other words, the shoulder armor 22 is attached to the doll body 10 via the back armor 21. The configuration for attaching the shoulder armor 22 to the doll body 10 in the model toy 100 of this embodiment will be described below.

[0013] First, the structure for connecting the back armor 21 to the doll body 10 will be described. FIG. 2 is a view of the doll body 10 as seen from the rear side. The back armor 21 is connected to the back 12a (back side) of the torso 12 of the doll body 10. For example, a recess 12b is provided in the back 12a of the doll body 10, and a protrusion 21a is provided in the back armor 21. The back armor 21 is connected to the back 12a of the doll body 10 by inserting the protrusion 21a of the back armor 21 into the recess 12b of the back 12a of the doll body 10. Note that in this embodiment, the recess 12b is provided in the back 12a of the doll body 10, and the protrusion 21a is provided in the back armor 21, but the reverse may also be true. That is, a protrusion may be provided in the back 12a of the doll body 10, and a recess may be provided in the back armor 21.

[0014] Next, a description will be given of the configuration for rotatably connecting the shoulder armor 22 to the back armor 21. The shoulder armor 22 is connected to the back armor 21 so as to be rotatable about each of a plurality of axes relative to the back armor 21. In the model toy 100 of this embodiment, the shoulder armor 22 is connected to the back armor 21 via a first connecting member 23 and a second connecting member 24.

[0015] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the connection between the back armor 21 and the first connecting member 23. The first connecting member 23 is a member that is connected to the back armor 21 so as to be rotatable about a first axis. The first connecting member 23 is provided with a recess 23a (opening), and the recess 23a engages with a protrusion 21b provided on the side of the back armor 21. As a result, the first connecting member 23 is rotatably connected to the back armor 21, with the extension axis of the protrusion 21b of the back armor 21 serving as the first axis. Here, in this embodiment, the first connecting member 23 is configured to have the recess 23a and the back armor 21 is configured to have the protrusion 21b, but the reverse may also be true. In other words, the first connecting member 23 may be configured to have a protrusion and the back armor 21 to have a recess. In other words, the back armor 21 and the first connecting member 23 are rotatably connected to each other with the extension axis of the convex portion as the first axis by engaging a convex portion (first convex portion) provided on one of them with a concave portion (first concave portion) provided on the other.

[0016] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the connection between the first connecting member 23 and the second connecting member 24. The first connecting member 23 is rotatably connected to the back armor 21. The second connecting member 24 is a member connected to the first connecting member 24 so as to be rotatable about a second axis whose axial direction is different from the first axis. The second connecting member 24 is provided with a recess 24a (opening), and the recess 24a engages with a protrusion 23b provided on the first connecting member 23. As a result, the second connecting member 24 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 23 with the extension axis of the protrusion 23b of the first connecting member 23 as the second axis. Here, in this embodiment, the second connecting member 24 is configured to have the recess 24a and the first connecting member 23 is configured to have the protrusion 23b, but the reverse may also be true. That is, the second connecting member 24 may be configured to have the protrusion and the first connecting member 23 is configured to have the recess. In other words, the first connecting member 23 and the second connecting member 24 are rotatably connected to each other with the extension axis of the convex portion as the second axis by engaging the convex portion (second convex portion) provided on one of them with the concave portion (second concave portion) provided on the other.

[0017] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the connection between the second connecting member 24 and the shoulder armor 22. The second connecting member 24 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 23. The shoulder armor 22 is connected to the second connecting member 24 so as to be rotatable about a third axis, which is axially different from the first and second axes. 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. As a result, the shoulder armor 22 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 24 around the extension axis of the protrusion 24b of the second connecting member 24, which serves as the third axis. Here, in this embodiment, the shoulder armor 22 is configured to have the recess 22a and the second connecting member 24 is configured to have the protrusion 24b, but the reverse is also possible. That is, the shoulder armor 22 may have a protrusion and the second connecting member 24 may have a recess. In other words, the second connecting member 24 and the shoulder armor 22 are rotatably connected to each other with the extension axis of the convex portion acting 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.

[0018] FIG. 6 shows a state in which the shoulder armor 22 is connected to the back armor 21 via the first connecting member 23 and the second connecting member 24. As described above, the first connecting member 23 is connected to the back armor 21 rotatably about a first axis, the second connecting member 24 is connected to the first connecting member 23 rotatably about a second axis, and the shoulder armor 22 is connected to the second connecting member 24 rotatably about a third axis. This allows the shoulder armor 22 to rotate about each of multiple axes (first axis to third axis) relative to the back armor 21. Note that while this embodiment describes an example in which the shoulder armor 22 is connected by a movable axis portion, the present invention is not particularly limited as long as the shoulder armor 22 is connected to the back armor 21 by a movable (rotatable) connecting portion, such as a spherical connecting portion that can rotate in multiple directions.

[0019] 7 shows the state in which the back armor 21 and shoulder armor 22 are attached to the doll body 10. In the model toy 100 of this embodiment, the shoulder armor 22 is rotatably connected (attached) to the back armor 21, which is connected to the back 12a of the doll body 10 as described above, and is not directly connected to the doll body 10 (e.g., the shoulders 13 or arms 14). This configuration reduces the restriction imposed by the shoulder armor 22 on the range of motion of the arms 14 relative to the shoulders 13, and enables the doll body 10 equipped with the ornaments 20 such as the shoulder armor 22 to move and pose more like a human.

[0020] Here, in this embodiment, the configuration in which the shoulder armor 22 covering the shoulders of the doll body 10 is connected to the back armor 21 has been described, but the above configuration of the shoulder armor 22 can also be applied to other parts that cover a part of the doll body 10. In addition, the back armor 21 can also be applied to other parts connected to the back of the doll body 10. That is, the part (second part) covering a part of the doll body 10 is rotatably connected to the first part (back armor 21). And the part (second part) covering a part of the doll body 10 is not directly connected to (a part of) the doll body 10.

[0021] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the invention. For example, the shape of the doll body is not particularly limited and includes various shapes such as humans, animals, robots, dinosaurs, etc. Furthermore, the shape of the model toy parts is not particularly limited and includes various shapes such as armor, accessories, capes, clothing parts, decorative parts, etc.
