[0021] Hereinafter, a moving toy according to one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, directions are described as front-back, left-right, and up-down directions when the moving toy is worn on the body.

[0022] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a moving toy 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, seen obliquely from the front. Fig. 2 is a side view of the moving toy 1 shown in Fig. 1.

[0023] The action toy 1 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is an item used when a hero transforms in a drama or animation, and is a so-called "role-playing toy" used to become the hero.

[0024] The action toy 1 has, for example, a first movable part 11 simulating an upper jaw and a second movable part 12 simulating a lower jaw, and the upper jaw can move up and down to perform an action similar to eating food. A push-button type operation part 40 (hereinafter referred to as a "push button") is provided on one of the left and right sides of each of the movable parts 11, 12, and another rotary lever type operation part 50 (hereinafter referred to as a "rotary lever") is provided on the other end opposite the push button 40. The first movable part 11 is provided integrally with the base part 10 as described below, and is configured to be rotatable up and down relative to the base part 10 around a rotation fulcrum 11c. The second movable part 12 is also provided integrally with the base part 10, and is configured to be movable back and forth relative to the base part 10. The base part 10 is attached to a belt part 9, and can be worn around the body, for example, around the waist.

[0025] As will be described later, the first movable part 11 can be moved from a position where the upper jaw is closed to a plurality of positions where the upper jaw is open by operating the push button 40 and the rotary lever 50, or by directly operating the first movable part 11. On the other hand, the second movable part 12 can move back and forth in conjunction with the rotation of the first movable part 11, as will be described later.

[0026] Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the state when the sub-toy body 30 is attached to the moving toy 1 shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a side view of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3.

[0027] When attaching the secondary toy object 30, for example, the first movable part 11 is opened to the maximum position that can be moved by hand. As a result, the first movable part 11 opens wide with its tip pointing upward, as shown in Figures 3 and 4. In conjunction with this rotational movement (R1) of the first movable part 11, the second movable part 12 slides (S1) from a position retracted inside the base part 10 to the front of the base part 10. In this state, as shown in the figure, the attachment part 12a of the second movable part 12, to which the secondary toy object 30 is attached, protrudes significantly forward from the base part 10.

[0028] In this way, because the first movable part 11 is positioned further rearward than the mounting part 12a of the secondary toy body 30 (in other words, because the second movable part 12 protrudes forward relative to the base part 10), when the lower protrusion 30b of the secondary toy body 30 is pushed into and fitted into the mounting part 12a, the first movable part 11 does not get in the way, making it very easy to mount the secondary toy body 30 on the mounting part 12a.

[0029] Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing a link mechanism 60 for interlocking the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12. Fig. 6 is a schematic side view for explaining the interlocking caused by the link mechanism 60 shown in Fig. 5.

[0030] 5 and 6, the link mechanism 60 that links the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 includes a pair of left and right vertical arms 61 and a pair of left and right arc arms 63 connected by a first connecting member 62, and the front ends of both arc arms 63 are connected to the second movable part 12 via a second connecting member 64 extending in the left-right direction. The second connecting member 64 has a shaft-shaped main body 64a extending in the left-right direction, and left and right end shafts 64b of the main body 64a support the arc arms 63, and a pair of left and right pivot pins 64c extending forward from the main body 64a and compression springs 64d wound around the pivot pins 64c engage with the bottom 12c of the second movable part 12.

[0031] The pivot pin 64c of the second connecting member 64 is slidably engaged with an engagement groove 12g that is formed in the bottom portion 12c of the second movable part 12 and extends in the front-rear direction. Furthermore, a pin tip portion 64ct of the pivot pin 64c has a tapered shape so that it does not come out of the engagement groove 12g. In other words, when the pivot pin 64c moves rearward, it pulls the second movable part 12 rearward, and the compression spring 64d pushes the second movable part 12 forward.

[0032] The link mechanism 60 is biased upward by a spring member (not shown) or the like provided between the vertical arm 61 and the base part 10. That is, when the vertical arm 61 is pressed downward by the first movable part 11, it descends, but when the pressure from the first movable part 11 is released, it returns to its original position (i.e., rises) due to the action of the spring member (not shown).

[0033] In the link mechanism 60, when the first movable part 11 is rotated, the pressing surface 11b at the rear end of the first movable part 11 abuts against the tip 61t of the vertical arm 61 when the first movable part 11 is rotated by a predetermined angle or more. Further rotation after the abutment causes the vertical arm 61 to be pressed downward and move vertically. As a result, the second movable part 12 moves horizontally forward via the arc arm 63 and the second connecting member 64.

[0034] With the second movable part 12 protruding forward, the secondary toy body 30 is fitted into the mounting part 12a. At this time, the mounting part 12a has locking hooks 14 on its left and right inner walls, which engage with locking recesses 30g (see Figures 3 and 4) on the lower protruding part 30b of the secondary toy body 30, thereby locking the secondary toy body 30 so that it does not fall off.

[0035] After the secondary toy body 30 is attached, the first movable part 11 is rotated to close it. As a result, the secondary toy body 30 is covered by the first movable part 11 to the extent that only the lower part on the front side is slightly visible (see Figure 1). When the first movable part 11 is closed, the tip 61t of the vertical arm 61 and the pressing surface 11b of the first movable part 11 are spaced apart (see Figure 2).

[0036] FIG. 7 is a front view of the moving toy 1 in another state. The state shown in Figure 7 is a state in which the first movable part 11 is opened approximately horizontally. The operation to change to the state shown in Figure 7 is performed by pressing the push button 40 provided on one end side (right side in the figure) of the base part 10 after the attachment of the aforementioned secondary toy body 30 is completed and in the closed state shown in Figures 1 and 2. In this way, by operating the push button 40, the first movable part 11 opens to such an extent that the secondary toy body 30 can be seen in its entirety when viewed from the front side of the moving toy 1, instead of being hidden. Furthermore, as will be described in detail later, the secondary toy body 30 opens to the left and right with its arms 35 open, which were not there when it was first attached. Furthermore, in this state, sound and light effects are produced, as will be described later.

[0037] FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view showing an operating mechanism for achieving the state shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the push button 40 has a cylindrical structure and is provided on the base unit 10 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. A horizontal slide member 41 is provided inside the base unit (on the left side in the drawing) relative to the push button 40. One end 41e of this horizontal slide member 41 faces the inner end 40e of the push button 40, and when the push button 40 is pressed, it moves to the left in the drawing. In addition, an upwardly facing inclined surface 41a is provided on the other end (the left end in the drawing) of the horizontal slide member 41. Furthermore, a vertical slide member 42 having an opposing inclined surface 42a that abuts against the inclined surface 41a is provided on the horizontal slide member 41 so as to be movable in the up-down direction.

[0038] The vertical slide member 42 has an extension 42b whose upper end surface 42t protrudes upward from the base 10. The extension 42b extends so as to be able to come into contact with the inner surface of the first movable part 11. That is, by pressing the push button 40, the horizontal slide member 41 moves horizontally, moving the vertical slide member 42 upward. As a result, the upper end surface 42t of the extension 42b pushes the first movable part 11 upward from below, causing it to rotate. This pushing action opens the first movable part 11 to the state shown in FIG. 7, whereupon the pushing surface 11b at the rear end of the first movable part 11 abuts against the tip 61t of the vertical arm 61 of the link mechanism 60, pushing the vertical arm 61 downward and moving it vertically. This vertical movement of the vertical arm 61 moves the second movable part 12 forward.

[0039] Furthermore, the horizontal slide member 41 is provided with a protrusion 41t at the bottom of the inclined surface 41a, which protrudes further inward (to the left in the drawing) than the inclined surface 41a toward the inside of the base portion. The protrusion 41t faces, for example, a rubber switch 81 on a circuit board 80 that is disposed further inward toward the base portion than the protrusion 41t. The rubber switch 81 is switched by pressing the push button 40. This switch operation effects an electrical system, such as sound or light emission.

[0040] A front slide member 45 is provided on the front side of the horizontal slide member 41, extending parallel to the horizontal slide member 41 to the attachment position of the secondary toy body 30. Like the horizontal slide member 41, this front slide member 45 is provided to be slidable left and right relative to the base body 10, and is biased toward the push button 40 by a spring 46. One end 45e of the front slide member 45 is arranged to be able to come into contact with the inner end 40e of the push button 40, and a tip 45t is arranged to face and be able to come into contact with the operated portion 36 of the secondary toy body 30. Therefore, when the push button 40 is pressed, the tip 45t pushes the operated portion 36 into the secondary toy body 30. As a result, the arms 35 of the secondary toy body 30 open left and right as the upper cover 33 moves upward.

[0041] FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective cross-sectional view showing the locking mechanism of the vertical slide member 42. As shown in FIG. When the vertical slide member 42 is moved upward, as shown in Fig. 9, it is locked in the moved position, and the first movable part 11 is maintained in an open state. For example, the locking mechanism has a locking recess 42d formed on the side surface of the vertical slide member 42, and a locking claw 70 biased by a lock spring 72 engages with the locking recess 42d. Furthermore, an upper end 73a of a swing pin 73 is journaled on a first shaft 74 via a swing pin elongated hole 75 at the lower end 42e of the vertical slide member 42. Furthermore, the swing pin 73 is journaled rotatably on a second shaft 76 at approximately the middle position in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the lower end 73d of the swing pin 73 is capable of abutting against the lock release cam 54.

[0042] In the locking mechanism configured in this manner, when vertical slide member 42 is moved upward and in the locked state (state shown in FIG. 9), rotating lever 50 rotates rotation shaft 53, causing unlocking cam 54 to push up lower end 73d of swing pin 73. As a result, upper end 73a of swing pin 73 moves downward, pulling vertical slide member 42 downward and releasing the lock.

[0043] FIG. 10 is a schematic side view showing the positional relationship between the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12. As shown in FIG. The following describes the positional relationship between the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 before operation and when they are in operation. Note that the reference point for the positional relationship between the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 will be described using a reference point (P) when both movable parts 11 and 12 are viewed from the side.

[0044] Regarding the reference point (P), for the first movable part 11, the respective state positions of the intermediate part of the line connecting the rotation fulcrum 11c and the farthest part 11t that is the furthest from the rotation fulcrum 11c, i.e., the closed state position, is defined as the first position P1, and the horizontally open state (the state shown in FIG. 7) is defined as the second position. On the other hand, for the second movable part 12, the respective state positions of the part to which the sub-toy body 30 is attached, i.e., the state in which it is located at the back side (rear side) of the base part 10, is defined as the third position P3, and the state in which the first movable part 11 has moved forward when opened horizontally is defined as the fourth position P4.

[0045] When the secondary toy body 30 is attached and before the push button 40 is operated, the second movable part 12 is in the third position P3, and the first movable part 11 is in the closed first position P1 (the state shown by the two-dot chain line in Figure 10). In this state, the distance between the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 is the closest first distance (d1). In this state, when the moving toy 1 is viewed from the front, approximately the upper half of the secondary toy body 30 is covered by the first movable part 11 so that it cannot be seen (the state shown in Figures 1 and 2).

[0046] When the push button 40 is pressed while the first movable part 11 is closed, it rotates (R2) to a substantially horizontal second position P2 (shown by a solid line in FIG. 10). In conjunction with this rotation, the second movable part 12 slides (S2) forward from the third position P3 to a fourth position P4 (shown by a solid line in FIG. 10). This movement is smaller than the movements (rotational movement R1 and sliding movement S1) made when loading the secondary toy object 3, but the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 move away from each other to the second position P2 and the fourth position P4, respectively, and the second distance (d2) in this state is greater than the first distance d1. As a result, the secondary toy object 30 moves forward of the base part 10 as shown in FIG. 10, and the first movable part 11 is no longer covered, allowing the entire secondary toy object 30 to be seen (as shown in FIG. 7). In this state, various effects are performed as described below.

[0047] FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing the state of the secondary toy body 30 before it is operated, and FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the state of the secondary toy body 30 after it is operated.

[0048] As shown in Figure 11, the secondary toy body 30 has an upper protrusion 30a and a lower protrusion 30b and is a multifaceted box-like shape divided into an upper cover 33 and a lower cover 32. Before the secondary toy body 30 is attached to the attachment portion 12a, the upper cover 33 and the lower cover 32 form a continuous outer shell surface as shown in the figure. However, in the operating state (the state shown in Figure 12) described below, the lower cover 32 and the upper cover 33 can move so that their vertical dimension becomes larger than in the state shown in Figure 11. In addition, notched openings 33k extending in the vertical direction are provided on both the left and right sides of the upper cover 33. Arm-like arm portions 35 are located inside both notched openings 33k (they are shown to protrude slightly outward for ease of illustration, but are actually recessed inward).

[0049] Furthermore, a button opening 32k is provided so that the push-button-shaped operated portion 36 operated by the front slide member 45 is exposed on the side surface of the lower cover 32. This button opening 32k has a notched open shape on the side surface on the rear side of the lower cover 32 (the rear side of the operated portion 36). The shape of this rear opening is configured to allow the second movable portion 12 to move forward when the tip end 45t of the front slide member 45 has pushed the operated portion 36 into the interior (see FIG. 8). Furthermore, concave locking recesses 30g are provided on both the left and right sides of the lower protrusion 30b, into which the locking hooks 14 of the mounting portion 12a engage, as described above.

[0050] When the operated portion 36 of the secondary toy body 30 is pressed, the upper cover 33 moves upward, as shown in FIG. 12. This causes the front side to extend upward, revealing the inner wall 31. The inner wall 31 has an arc-shaped bulge on both the left and right sides, as shown in the figure. Its shape can represent, for example, the torso of a robot or a character, and its surface can be provided with appropriate patterns or stickers. Simultaneously with the movement of the upper cover 33, both arms 35 housed inside the secondary toy body 30 open to the left and right. In this way, when the operated portion 36 is operated, the secondary toy body 30, which initially appears simply box-shaped, transforms into a doll body with its arms open.

[0051] FIG. 13 is an exploded perspective view of the secondary toy body 30. As shown in FIG. The sub-toy body 30 has a configuration in which the lower cover 32 movably holds the interior components by combining a front cover 32a and a rear cover 32b. For example, a pair of left and right arms 35 have finger-like projections on one end and are bent in an overall V-shape. Arm through-holes 35b are formed at the elbows of the bent arms, and support shafts 32c of the rear cover 32b pass through these arm through-holes 35b. Furthermore, arm long holes 35c are formed at the other ends of both arms 35 along the longitudinal direction of the arms, and one pivot pin 34p passes through these arm long holes 35c. As a result, the arms 35 are supported rotatably around the support shaft 32c as the pivot pin 34p moves up and down.

[0052] The pivot pin 34p is provided on the vertical sliding section 34, which is slidable in the up and down direction. The vertical sliding section 34 is provided with a slide support elongated hole 34h that extends vertically in the front-to-rear direction in a block-shaped body section 34a. The slide support elongated hole 34h is penetrated by a slide support pin 32d that protrudes rearward from the front cover 32a and is fitted onto a support shaft 32c of the rear cover 32b. The vertical sliding section 34 is supported by the slide support pin 32d so that it can slide vertically.

[0053] The vertical sliding portion 34 has a pivot pin 34p at the lower end of the body 34a, and a locking piece 34f extending downward. A hook-shaped catch is provided at the lower end of the locking piece 34f, which is configured to be able to engage with a hook hole 36f of the operated portion 36. Meanwhile, an upper cover connecting portion 34t that connects to the upper cover 33 is provided at the upper end of the body 34a. This allows the vertical sliding portion 34 to move integrally with the upper cover 33. The vertical sliding portion 34 is also biased upward by an upward biasing spring 37. The operated portion 36 is also biased toward the outside of the lower cover 32 by an outward biasing spring 38.

[0054] In the sub-toy body 30 configured in this manner, when the operated portion 36 is pressed and moved, the locking piece portion 34f is released from the hook hole 36f. This releases the locked state of the vertical sliding portion 34, and the upward biasing spring 37 moves it upward. As a result, the upper cover 33 moves upward, and the arm portion 35 rotates to open, creating an effect in which the arm portion 35 opens and pops out from the outer shell.

[0055] FIG. 14 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a main part showing an example of a presentation in which the sub-toy body 30 is attached. As shown in Fig. 14, the base unit 10 is provided with, for example, a power supply 26 and a control board 27 on the rear side where the secondary toy body 30 is attached. A light-emitting unit 25 such as a light-emitting diode capable of outputting light effects is provided on this control board 27. A light-transmitting hole 28h is formed in a wall surface 28 on the front side (secondary toy body side) of the position where the light-emitting unit 25 is provided, and the wall surface 28 is configured as an inclined surface that makes it easy for light to spread forward. A sound-producing unit 24 such as a speaker that produces sound effects is provided in an appropriate position on the base unit 10 so that sound is emitted forward.

[0056] At least a portion of the secondary toy body 30 is made of a light-transmitting material. For example, when the light-emitting unit 25 illuminates the secondary toy body 30 from behind, the color of the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 25 changes and can be seen through the secondary toy body 30, creating the illusion that the color of the secondary toy body 30 has changed. Furthermore, if the upper and lower covers 32, 33 of the secondary toy body 30 are almost entirely made of a light-transmitting material, the light passing through them will project a shadow of the drive mechanism inside the secondary toy body 30. Furthermore, designs painted on the interior wall 31 can also be projected by the light passing through them.

[0057] The secondary toy object 30 has an identified portion 39 on the lower protruding portion 30b that is inserted into the mounting portion 12a. This identified portion 39 has different information for each of the multiple secondary toy objects 30 provided, and the type of secondary toy object 30 is identified by the identification portion 23 provided on the mounting portion 12a. Based on this identification information, a performance is performed according to the type of secondary toy object 30.

[0058] Fig. 15 is an exploded perspective view of the main part (as seen from behind) showing the operating mechanism by which the first movable part 11 is driven using the rotary lever 50. Fig. 16 is a schematic side view showing the movement of the first movable part 11 when driven using the rotary lever 50.

[0059] 15 , the rotating lever 50 is a crank-shaped operating member that rotates around a first rotational axis C50 along the left-right direction of the base unit 10. For example, a first gear 51 is provided on the rotating lever 50 on the first rotational axis C50. Also, a rotating shaft 53 is provided on the bottom side of the base unit 10 parallel to the first rotational axis C50. A second gear 52 that meshes with the first gear 51 is provided on the rotating shaft 53, and the rotating shaft 53 is configured to rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating lever 50.

[0060] The rotary shaft 53 is provided with a pair of cam portions 53a spaced a predetermined distance apart in the left-right direction. Each cam portion 53a is provided with a vertical drive shaft 55 that can move up and down and that can abut against its cam surface (the outer peripheral surface of the cam portion). The cam portion 53a has a cam surface that is significantly eccentric with respect to the rotation axis C53 of the rotary shaft 53, and abuts against the lower end surfaces 55b of both vertical drive shafts 55, causing both vertical drive shafts 55 to move up and down synchronously. In addition, an upper tip 55t of the vertical drive shaft 55 can protrude above the base portion 10 and can abut against the inner surface of the first movable portion 11. In addition, the vertical drive shaft 55 is biased downward by a spring member 56 arranged around the shaft.

[0061] By rotating the rotary lever 50, as shown in FIG. 16, the upper tip 55t of the vertical drive shaft 55 pushes up the inner surface of the first movable part 11. This pushing-up action causes the first movable part 11 to rotate up and down (R3) between a slightly open state (intermediate position P5) and a closed state (first position P1). That is, when the rotary lever 50 is operated, the first movable part 11 moves back and forth between the intermediate position P5, which is located between the first position P1 and the second position P2, and the first position P1. Such small vertical movements are suitable for actions such as chewing something. In addition, the gear ratio of the vertical movement of the first movable part 11 is set so that, for example, one rotation of the rotary operation is synchronized with one reciprocating movement of the reciprocating movement.

[0062] An example of how to play with the moving toy 1 and how to perform it will be described below. There are various modes for playing, such as a hero transformation mode, an attack mode, etc. First, the operator wraps the belt part 9 around his waist so that the base part 10 of the action toy 1 is in front of his waist. Next, he turns on the power switch on the base part 10 to start operation.

[0063] First, an example of the transformation mode will be described. The first movable part 11 is opened wide, and the open state at this time is the open state to the maximum possible position. At this time, the opening operation of the first movable part 11 is detected and a sound effect is output. In this state, the second movable part 12 also moves forward.

[0064] Next, the secondary toy object 30 is attached to the attachment portion 12a. At this time, an attachment sound is output. Then, the type and specific information of the attached secondary toy object 30 are read. If this secondary toy object 30 is imagined to be food, for example, the action of closing the first movable portion 11 is reminiscent of the action of closing a mouth. In this operation, a closing sound effect is output, as well as a sound effect of eating a specific food, a genre name, etc., and a transformation standby sound is also output.

[0065] Next, by rotating the rotary lever 50, the first movable part 11 moves up and down slightly (i.e., moves back and forth between the intermediate position P5 and the first position P1), creating the impression of chewing the attached sub-toy object 30. This chewing action is detected, and chewing sounds are output in sync with it. The transformation standby sound is also output during this time, and the chewing sound is superimposed on the transformation standby sound as background music. At this time, one rotation of the rotary lever 50, the up and down reciprocating movement, and one chewing sound are synchronized.

[0066] After chewing to a certain extent, the push button 40 (the button for transformation) is pressed. At this time, a sound effect is output and the transformation begins. After this sound effect, the transformation sound, the name of the secondary toy object 30, and a line corresponding to the name are output. In addition, the light-emitting portion 25 emits light, and as the light color changes, the color of the light passing through the secondary toy object 30 changes, creating a light-emitting effect as if the secondary toy object 30 were changing into multiple colors. After that, a transformation completion sound is output and the transformation is complete.

[0067] After the transformation is complete, the special move effect can be output. When the transformation is complete, the first movable part 11 is locked in the open position by operating the push button 40. However, by rotating the rotating lever 50, the first movable part 11 closes. At this time, a closing sound is output. It should be noted that the first movable part 11 may also be closed manually at this time.

[0068] Then, a special move standby sound is output. Then, by rotating the rotary lever 50 and repeating the up and down movement of the first movable part 11 (reciprocating movement between the intermediate position P5 and the first position P1), a sound effect corresponding to the special move is output.

[0069] Thereafter, the push button 40 is pressed. At this time, a sound effect is further output, the name of the sub-toy object 30 is output, and the sound effect of the special move is output.

[0070] Furthermore, after the above state, if the loaded sub-toy body 30 is removed and a different sub-toy body 30 is attached, an additional performance mode can be performed by attaching a different sub-toy body 30 again.

[0071] As described above, the present embodiment of the action toy 1 can provide an action toy 1 that allows for enjoyment by utilizing the two movements of the first movable part 11 and the second movable part, which move from positions distant from each other to different positions with the base part 10 at the center.

[0072] In the action toy 1 of this embodiment, the movement distance of the first movable part 11 is configured to be larger than the movement distance of the second movable part 12, and the second distance (d2) (the distance from the second position P2 to the fourth position P4) is configured to be larger than the first distance (d1) (the distance from the first position P1 to the third position P3). This allows the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 to move in a manner that correlates the amount of change in their movement positions and their relative positions. As a result, both movable parts can be made to move in a close-together and separate-together states. In particular, when the first movable part 11 is positioned above the second movable part 12 to which the secondary toy body 30 is attached in a plan view, the first movable part 11 can cover the secondary toy body 30.

[0073] In this embodiment of the moving toy 1, the secondary toy body 30 has the operated part 36 exposed on its outer surface, so that the operated part 36 can be easily operated from the outside, and a predetermined performance can be performed in conjunction with the movement of the operated part 36.

[0074] Furthermore, by providing a plurality of different sub-toy bodies 30, not only can the appearances of the sub-toy bodies 30 be different, but the type can be identified by the identification unit 23 on the base body 10, and a performance corresponding to the type can be output.

[0075] In the moving toy 1 of this embodiment, the performance output unit on the base unit 10 side to which the secondary toy body 30 is attached is configured to be able to irradiate at least light onto the secondary toy body 30, and further, since the secondary toy body 30 is made of a light-transmitting material, it is possible to perform a performance in which light passes through the secondary toy body 30.

[0076] In the action toy 1 of this embodiment, the second movable part 12 can move from the outside of the base part 10 (fourth position P4) to the inside of the base part 10 (third position P3) in conjunction with the movement of the first movable part 11 from the open position (second position P2) to the closed position (first position P1), so that a series of actions from the attachment of the sub-toy body 30 to the completion of storage and attachment can be performed as mechanically linked actions.

[0077] Furthermore, according to the present embodiment of the action toy 1, the first movable part 11 moves back and forth between the first position P1 and an intermediate position P5, which is closer to the second position P2, in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating lever 50, so that, for example, if the first movable part 11 resembles an upper jaw, it is possible to create the appearance of chewing something.

[0078] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the action toy 1, one rotation of the rotating lever 50 and one up-and-down rotation of the first movable part 11 are performed simultaneously, thereby providing the user with a comfortable operating feel.

[0079] While one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, there is no particular limitation on the means for identifying the secondary toy object 30, and the configuration of the identification unit 23 can be, for example, NFC, a concave-convex protrusion shape, or communication.

[0080] In addition, in the above embodiment, one rotation of the rotary lever 50 and one up and down reciprocation of the first movable part 11 are synchronized, but this is not limited to this, and it is also possible for the first movable part 11 to move up and down multiple times per rotation.

[0081] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the secondary toy body 30 is produced by the movement of the outer shell and the arm 35, but this configuration is not limited to this. For example, the secondary toy body 30 may be provided with a light-emitting means or sound-producing means so that sound, light, or other effects are output.
