[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide an action toy with high interest.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The present invention includes, for example, an operation unit, a first movable unit, and a second movable unit. The first movable unit moves from a first position to a second position by an operation of the operation unit, and the second movable unit moves from a third position to a fourth position in conjunction with the movement of the first movable unit from the first position to the second position. In addition, the action toy according to the present invention includes an operation unit, a first movable part imitating an upper jaw, a second movable part imitating a lower jaw, and an effect output unit, and further has a sub-toy imitating food. The sub-toy can be attached to the second movable part. When the sub-toy is attached to the second movable part, as the first movable part moves from a second position away from the second movable part to a first position close to the second movable part, the first movable part covers at least a part of the sub-toy attached to the second movable part, and an effect of eating the food imitated by the sub-toy is output from the effect output unit. Then, in conjunction with the movement of the first movable part from the first position to the second position by the operation of the operation unit, the second movable part moves from a third position located below the first movable part to a fourth position located in front of the first movable part, so that the sub-toy attached to the second movable part is no longer covered by the first movable part.

[0007] Further, the action toy according to the present invention may include a base body portion, and the first movable unit and the second movable unit may be provided integrally with the base body portion.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

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

[0022] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an action toy 1 according to an aspect of the present invention as seen obliquely from the front. FIG. 2 is a side view of the action 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 dramas, animations, etc., and is a so-called "costume toy" used to become a hero.

[0024] The action toy 1 has, for example, a first movable part 11 imitating the upper jaw and a second movable part 12 imitating the lower jaw, and is capable of performing an action such that the upper jaw moves up and down to eat food. Also, on one side (left or right) of both movable parts 11 and 12, a push-button type operation part 40 (hereinafter referred to as "push button") is provided, and on the other end side opposite to the push button 40, another operation part 50 of a rotary lever type (hereinafter referred to as "rotary lever") is provided. The first movable part 11 is integrally provided on a base part 10 as will be described later, and is configured to be rotatable up and down about a rotation fulcrum 11c with respect to the base part 10. Also, the second movable part 12 is integrally provided on the base part 10 in the same manner and is configured to be movable back and forth with respect to the base part 10. Further, the base part 10 is attached to a belt part 9 and can be used by being worn on the body, for example, by winding around the waist.

[0025] The first movable part 11 can be moved to a plurality of positions opened from the position where the upper jaw is closed, as will be described later, by operating the push button 40 and the rotary lever 50, and further 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 a state when the sub-toy body 30 is attached to the action toy 1 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a side view in the form shown in FIG. 3.

[0027] When attaching the sub-toy body 30, for example, the first movable part 11 is opened to the maximum position where it can be moved by hand. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first movable part 11 opens wide with its tip facing upward. In conjunction with this rotational movement (R1) of the first movable part 11, the second movable part 12 slides forward (S1) from the position where it was housed inside the base part 10 to the front of the base part 10. In this state, as shown in the drawing, the attachment part 12a of the second movable part 12 to which the sub-toy body 30 is attached protrudes greatly forward with respect to the base part 10.

[0028] In this way, since the first movable part 11 is located on the rear side of the mounting part 12a of the sub-toy body 30 (in other words, since the second movable part 12 protrudes forward with respect to the base part 10), when the lower protruding part 30b of the sub-toy body 30 is pushed into and fitted with the mounting part 12a, the first movable part 11 does not get in the way and the mounting of the sub-toy body 30 to the mounting part 12a can be carried out very easily.

[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. Further, FIG. 6 is a schematic side view for explaining the interlocking by the link mechanism 60 shown in FIG. 5.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the link mechanism 60 for interlocking the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 has 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 end portions of both arc arms 63 are connected to the second movable part 12 via a second connecting member 64 extending in the left and right direction. The second connecting member 64 has left and right end shafts 64b of a shaft-shaped main body part 64a extending in the left and right direction pivotally supporting the arc arms 63, a pair of left and right shaft pins 64c extending forward from the main body part 64a, and compression springs 64d respectively wound around the shaft pins 64c engaged with the bottom part 12c of the second movable part 12.

[0031] The shaft pins 64c of the second connecting member 64 are slidably engaged with an engagement groove 12g extending in the front-rear direction formed in the bottom part 12c of the second movable part 12. Further, the pin tip part 64ct of the shaft pin 64c has a thick-tip shape and is configured not to come out of the engagement groove 12g. That is, when the shaft pin 64c moves rearward, it is configured to pull the second movable part 12 rearward, and the compression spring 64d is configured to push the second movable part 12 forward.

[0032] Note that the link mechanism 60 is biased upward by a spring member (not shown) provided between the vertical arm 61 and the base portion 10. That is, when the vertical arm 61 descends when pushed downward by the first movable portion 11, when the pressing by the first movable portion 11 is released, it returns to its original position (i.e., rises) due to the action of the spring member (not shown).

[0033] When the first movable portion 11 is rotated, when the first movable portion 11 is rotated by a predetermined angle or more, the pressing surface 11b at the rear end of the first movable portion 11 abuts against the tip 61t of the vertical arm 61. By further rotation after the abutment, the vertical arm 61 is pushed downward and moves vertically. Thereby, the second movable portion 12 moves forward in the horizontal direction via the arc arm 63 and the second connecting member 64.

[0034] With the second movable portion 12 protruding forward, the sub-toy body 30 is attached so as to be fitted into the attachment portion 12a. At this time, locking hooks 14 are provided on the left and right inner wall sides of the attachment portion 12a, and the locking hooks 14 engage with locking recesses 30g (see FIGS. 3 and 4) provided on the lower protruding portion 30b of the sub-toy body 30, and the sub-toy body 30 is locked so as not to fall off.

[0035] After attaching the sub-toy body 30, a rotation operation is performed to close the first movable portion 11. Thereby, the sub-toy body 30 is covered by the first movable portion 11 so that only the lower portion on the front surface side thereof is slightly visible (see FIG. 1). Note that in the state where the first movable portion 11 is closed, the tip 61t of the vertical arm 61 and the pressing surface 11b of the first movable portion 11 are in a separated state (see FIG. 2).

[0036] FIG. 7 is a front view of another state of the action toy 1. The state shown in Fig. 7 is a state where the first movable part 11 is opened substantially horizontally. The operation to bring it to the state shown in Fig. 7 is to push in the push button 40 provided at one end side (the right side in the figure) of the base part 10 in the closed state shown in Figs. 1 and 2 after the attachment of the above-mentioned sub-toy body 30 is completed. In this way, by operating the push button 40, when the action toy 1 is viewed from the front side, the first movable part 11 opens to such an extent that the entire sub-toy body 30 can be seen from the state where it is hidden. Furthermore, although the details will be described later, the sub-toy body 30 is in a state where the arm parts 35 are opened to the left and right, which was not the case at the beginning of attachment. Furthermore, in this state, as will be described later, effects by sound and light are performed.

[0037] Fig. 8 is an exploded perspective view showing the operating mechanism for bringing it to the state shown in Fig. 7. As shown in Fig. 8, the push button 40 has a cylindrical structure and is provided so as to be slidable in the left-right direction with respect to the base part 10. Inside the base part (the left side in the figure) with respect to the push button 40, a horizontal slide member 41 is arranged. One end part 41e of this horizontal slide member 41 faces the inner end part 40e of the push button 40, and when the push button 40 is pushed, it moves to the left side in the figure. Also, an inclined surface 41a facing upward is provided at the other end part (the left end side in the figure) 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 so as to be movable in the up-down direction with respect to the horizontal slide member 41.

[0038] The vertical slide member 42 is provided with an extension portion 42b whose upper end surface 42t protrudes upward from the base portion 10. This extension portion 42b extends so as to be capable of contacting the inner surface of the first movable portion 11. That is, by operating the push button 40, the horizontal slide member 41 moves horizontally to move the vertical slide member 42 upward. As a result, the upper end surface 42t of the extension portion 42b pushes up and rotates the first movable portion 11 from below upward. By this pushing-up operation, the first movable portion 11 opens to the state shown in FIG. 7. At this time, the pressing surface 11b at the rear end of the first movable portion 11 abuts against the tip 61t of the vertical arm 61 of the link mechanism 60 described above, and pushes the vertical arm 61 downward to move it vertically. By the vertical movement of this vertical arm 61, the second movable portion 12 moves forward.

[0039] Further, the horizontal slide member 41 is provided with a protrusion 41t that protrudes further inward of the base portion (to the left in the figure) than the inclined surface 41a at the lower part of the inclined surface 41a. The protrusion 41t faces, for example, a rubber switch 81 on a circuit board 80 disposed inside the base portion relative to the protrusion 41t. Then, by operating the push button 40, the rubber switch 81 is switched. By this switch operation, effects of the electrical system, for example, effects such as sound generation and light emission are performed.

[0040] On the front side of the horizontal slide member 41, a front side slide member 45 that extends parallel to the horizontal slide member 41 to the mounting position of the sub-toy body 30 is provided. This front side slide member 45 is provided so as to be slidable in the left-right direction with respect to the base portion 10 in the same manner as the horizontal slide member 41, and is biased by a spring 46 toward the push button 40 side. Further, one end portion 45e of the front side slide member 45 is disposed so as to be capable of contacting the inner end portion 40e of the push button 40, and the tip portion 45t is provided so as to be capable of facing and contacting the operated portion 36 of the sub-toy body 30. Therefore, by operating the push button 40, the tip portion 45t pushes the operated portion 36 into the sub-toy body 30. As a result, the sub-toy body 30 has both arm portions 35 opened to the left and right as the upper cover 33 moves upward.

[0041] FIG. 9 is an exploded cross-sectional perspective view showing the locking mechanism of the vertical slide member 42. When the vertical slide member 42 is moved upward, as shown in FIG. 9, it is locked in the moving position, and the open state of the first movable part 11 is maintained. For example, in the locking mechanism, a locking recess 42d is provided on the side surface of the vertical slide member 42, and a locking claw 70 urged by a locking spring 72 engages with the locking recess 42d. Further, the upper end 73a of a swing pin 73 is pivotally supported by a first shaft 74 via a swing pin long hole 75 at the lower end 42e of the vertical slide member 42. Furthermore, the swing pin 73 is rotatably supported by a second shaft 76 at a position approximately in the middle of the longitudinal direction. Also, the lower end 73d of the swing pin 73 can abut against the unlocking cam 54.

[0042] In the locking mechanism configured as described above, the vertical slide member 42 that has been moved upward and is in the locked state (the state in FIG. 9) has its rotation axis 53 rotated by turning the rotation lever 50, and the unlocking cam 54 pushes up the lower end 73d of the swing pin 73. As a result, the upper end 73a of the swing pin 73 moves downward to pull down the vertical slide member 42 to release 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. The positional relationship of the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 before and during operation will be described. 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 the reference point (P) of both movable parts 11 and 12 in a side view.

[0044] Regarding the reference point (P), in the first movable part 11, each state position of the intermediate part of the line connecting the rotation fulcrum 11c and the farthest part 11t that is at the farthest distance from the rotation fulcrum 11c, that is, the position in the closed state is set as the first position P1, and the horizontally opened state (the state shown in FIG. 7) is set as the second position. On the other hand, in the second movable part 12, each state position of the part where the sub-toy body 30 is mounted, that is, the state of being located on the back side (rear side) of the base part 10 is set as the third position P3, and the state of moving forward when the first movable part 11 is horizontally opened is set as the fourth position P4.

[0045] Before the sub-toy body 30 is mounted and the push button 40 is operated, the second movable part 12 is at the third position P3, and the first movable part 11 is at the first position P1 in the closed state (the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 10). The distance between the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 in this state is the closest first distance (d1). In this state, when the action toy 1 is viewed from the front side, approximately the upper half of the sub-toy body 30 is covered so as not to be visible by the first movable part 11 (the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2).

[0046] In the closed state of the first movable part 11, by pressing the push button 40, it rotates and moves (R2) to the substantially horizontal second position P2 (the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 10). In conjunction with this rotational movement, the second movable part 12 slides forward from the third position P3 and slides (S2) to the fourth position P4 (the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 10). This movement is smaller than the movement (rotational movement R1 and sliding movement S1) when loading the above-mentioned sub-toy body 3, but the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 move to the second position P2 and the fourth position P4 so as to move away from each other, and the second distance (d2) in this state is larger than the first distance d1. As a result, the sub-toy body 30 moves to the front side of the base part 10 as shown in FIG. 10, and the covering state of the first movable part 11 is removed and the whole of it becomes visible (the state shown in FIG. 7). In this state, as will be described later, various effects are performed.

[0047] FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing the state of the sub-toy body 30 before operation, and FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the state of the sub-toy body 30 after operation.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 11, the sub-toy body 30 has an upper protruding portion 30a and a lower protruding portion 30b and is a multi-sided box shape divided into an upper cover 33 and a lower cover 32. And, in the state before being mounted on the mounting portion 12a, the upper cover 33 and the lower cover 32 form a continuous outer shell surface as shown in the drawing. However, the lower cover 32 and the upper cover 33 can move so that the vertical dimension becomes larger than the state shown in FIG. 11 in the operation state (the state shown in FIG. 12) described later. Further, notch openings 33k extending in the vertical direction are provided on both the left and right sides of the upper cover 33. Inside both of these notch openings 33k (shown as slightly protruding outward for explanatory purposes in the drawing, but actually recessed inward), arm-shaped arms 35 are arranged.

[0049] Also, an operation button-shaped operated portion 36 operated by the front slide member 45 is provided with a button opening 32k so as to be exposed on the side surface of the lower cover 32. This button opening 32k has a notch-shaped open shape on the rear side (the rear side of the operated portion 36) of the lower cover 32. This rear-side opening shape is configured to allow the second movable portion 12 to move forward in a state where the tip portion 45t of the front slide member 45 pushes the operated portion 36 inward (see FIG. 8). Further, concave locking recesses 30g with which the locking hooks 14 of the mounting portion 12a engage are provided on both the left and right sides of the lower protruding portion 30b as described above.

[0050] When the operation part 36 of the sub-toy body 30 is pressed, as shown in FIG. 12, the upper cover 33 moves upward. As a result, on the front side, the inner wall 31 extends upward so as to appear. The inner wall 31 has a shape in which both left and right sides bulge in an arc shape as shown in the figure, and for example, it can represent the torso of a robot or a character, and appropriate patterns or seals can be provided on its surface. At the same time as the operation of the upper cover 33, the left and right sides of the both-arm parts 35 accommodated inside the sub-toy body 30 are opened. In this way, when the operation part 36 of the sub-toy body 30 is operated, an effect is produced in which what was originally just a box shape becomes a humanoid shape with both arms opened.

[0051] FIG. 13 is an exploded perspective view of the sub-toy body 30. The sub-toy body 30 has a configuration in which the lower cover 32 holds the interior member movably with a front-back combination structure of the front cover 32a and the rear cover 32b. For example, a pair of left and right arm parts 35 have unevenness imitating fingers on one end side and are bent in an overall "く" shape. And an arm through-hole 35b is formed at the position of the elbow part of the bent arm, and the support shaft 32c of the rear cover 32b penetrates through this arm through-hole 35b. Further, arm longitudinal holes 35c along the longitudinal direction of the arm are provided at the other end sides of the both-arm parts 35, and one shaft pin 34p penetrates through these both-arm longitudinal holes 35c. Thereby, the arm part 35 is supported rotatably with the support shaft 32c as a fulcrum by the vertical movement of the shaft pin 34p.

[0052] The shaft pin 34p is provided on an up-down slide part 34 that can slide in the up-down direction. The up-down slide part 34 is provided with a slide support long hole 34h that is long in the up-down direction and penetrates in the front-back direction in a block-shaped body part 34a. The slide support long hole 34h is penetrated by a slide support pin 32d that protrudes rearward from the front cover 32a and is fitted to the support shaft 32c of the rear cover 32b. By this slide support pin 32d, the up-down slide part 34 is supported so as to be slidable in the up-down direction.

[0053] The upper and lower slide portion 34 has a shaft pin 34p provided at the lower end side of the body portion 34a, and further, a locking piece portion 34f extends downward. At the lower end of this locking piece portion 34f, a hook-shaped hooking piece is provided and is configured to be engageable with the hooking hole 36f of the operated portion 36. On the other hand, an upper cover connecting portion 34t connected to the upper cover 33 is provided on the upper end side of the body portion 34a. Thereby, the upper and lower slide portion 34 can move integrally with the upper cover 33. Also, the upper and lower slide portion 34 is pressed and biased upward by an upward biasing spring 37. Note that the operated portion 36 is pressed and biased outward by an outward biasing spring 38 toward the outside of the lower cover 32.

[0054] In the sub-toy body 30 configured as described above, when the operated portion 36 is pressed and moved, the locking of the locking piece portion 34f by the hooking hole 36f is released. Thereby, the locked state of the upper and lower slide portion 34 is released, and it moves upward by the upward biasing spring 37. As a result, the upper cover 33 moves upward, and at the same time, the arm portion 35 rotates so as to open, and an effect is performed such that the arm portion 35 pops out from the outer shell.

[0055] FIG. 14 is a main part vertical sectional view for showing an example of the effect in the mounted state of the sub-toy body 30. As shown in FIG. 14, on the base portion 10, for example, a power source 26 and a control board 27 are provided on the rear side where the sub-toy body 30 is mounted. On this control board 27, a light emitting portion 25 such as a light emitting diode capable of outputting a light effect is provided. Further, a light passage hole 28h is formed in the wall surface 28 on the front side (sub-toy body side) of the position where the light emitting portion 25 is provided, and furthermore, the wall surface 28 is configured as an inclined surface where light easily spreads forward. Note that a sounding portion 24 such as a speaker which is a sound effect output portion is provided at an appropriate position of the base portion 10 so as to sound forward.

[0056] The sub-toy body 30 is at least partially made of a light-transmissive material. For example, when the sub-toy body 30 is irradiated with light from the light-emitting unit 25 from behind, the color of the light-emitting unit 25 can be visually recognized through the sub-toy body 30 due to the change in the emission color, so that an effect can be produced as if the color of the sub-toy body 30 has changed. Also, when substantially the entire upper and lower covers 32 and 33 of the sub-toy body 30 are made of a light-transmissive material, the driving structure inside the sub-toy body 30 is projected as a shadow when light passes through. Also, patterns drawn on the inner wall 31 can also be projected by the transmission of light.

[0057] Further, the sub-toy body 30 is provided with an identification target portion 39 on a lower protruding portion 30b that is inserted into the mounting portion 12a. A plurality of these identification target portions 39 have different information, and the type of the sub-toy body 30 is identified by the identification portion 23 provided on the mounting portion 12a. Based on this identification information, an effect corresponding to the type of the sub-toy body 30 is performed.

[0058] FIG. 15 is a partial exploded perspective view showing an operating mechanism for driving the first movable portion 11 using the rotary lever 50 (note that this is a view when seen from behind). FIG. 16 is a schematic side view showing the movement when the first movable portion 11 is driven using the rotary lever 50.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 15, the rotary lever 50 is a crank-shaped operating member that rotates around the first rotation axis line C50 along the left-right direction of the base body portion 10. For example, a first gear 51 is provided on the first rotation axis line C50 of the rotary lever 50. Also, a rotation shaft 53 is provided on the bottom side of the base body portion 10 in parallel with the first rotation axis line C50. A second gear 52 that meshes with the first gear 51 is provided on the rotation shaft 53, and the rotation shaft 53 is configured to be interlocked with the rotation of the rotary lever 50.

[0060] A pair of cam portions 53a are provided on the rotating shaft 53 at a predetermined interval in the left-right direction. Each cam portion 53a is provided with an up-down drive shaft 55 that can come into contact with the cam surface (the outer peripheral surface of the cam portion) so as to be vertically movable. The cam portion 53a has a cam surface that is highly eccentric with respect to the rotation axis line C53 of the rotating shaft 53, and contacts the lower end surfaces 55b of both up-down drive shafts 55 to synchronize and vertically move both up-down drive shafts 55. Further, the upper tip 55t of the up-down drive shaft 55 can project above the base portion 10 and can come into contact with the inner surface of the first movable portion 11. Also, the up-down drive shaft 55 is biased downward by a spring member 56 disposed around the shaft.

[0061] By rotating the rotation lever 50, as shown in FIG. 16, the upper tip 55t of the up-down drive shaft 55 pushes up the inner surface of the first movable portion 11. This pushing-up operation can cause the first movable portion 11 to rotate vertically (R3) between a slightly opened state (intermediate position P5) and a closed state (first position P1). That is, with an operation on the rotation lever 50, it reciprocates between the intermediate position P5 located between the first position P1 and the second position P2 and the first position P1. Such a small vertical movement is suitable for an operation such as chewing something, for example. Also, the vertical movement of the first movable portion 11 has a gear ratio set so that, for example, one rotation of the rotation operation and one reciprocation of the reciprocating movement are synchronized.

[0062] Hereinafter, an example of how to play with the action toy 1 and an effect will be described. Note that there are various modes for how to play, such as a transformation mode and an attack mode of the hero, for example. First, the operator wraps the belt portion 9 around the waist and fixes it so that the base portion 10 of the action toy 1 comes to the front of the waist. Next, the power switch on the base portion 10 side is turned on to start the operation.

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

[0064] Next, the sub-toy 30 is attached to the attachment part 12a. At this time, an attachment sound is output. Then, the type and specific information of the attached sub-toy 30 are read. For example, if the sub-toy 30 is assumed to be food, an operation of closing the first movable part 11 is associated with, for example, an operation of closing the mouth. In this operation, a closing effect sound is output, an effect sound of eating a specific food, the genre name, etc. are output, and at the same time, a transformation standby sound is also output.

[0065] Next, by rotating the rotation lever 50, the first movable part 11 moves slightly up and down (that is, reciprocates between the intermediate position P5 and the first position P1), and an operation of chewing the attached sub-toy 30 is produced. Detecting this chewing motion, a chewing sound is output accordingly. Note that the transformation standby sound is also output during this period, and the chewing sound is superimposed with the transformation standby sound as BGM. Note that one rotation of the rotation lever 50 at this time, the up-and-down reciprocating movement, and one chewing sound are synchronized.

[0066] After chewing has been performed to a certain extent, the pressing button 40 (the button for transformation) is pressed. At this time, an effect sound is output and the transformation is started. After this effect sound, a transformation sound, the name of the sub-toy 30, and a line according to the name are output. Also, the light emitting part 25 emits light, and the color of the light transmitted through the sub-toy 30 changes as the emission color changes, and a light emission effect as if the sub-toy 30 has changed to multiple colors is performed accordingly. Then, a transformation completion sound is output and the transformation is completed.

[0067] After the transformation is completed, a special move effect can be output. In the state where the transformation is completed, by operating the pressing button 40, the first movable part 11 is locked in the open state. However, by rotating the rotation lever 50, the first movable part 11 closes. At this time, a closing sound is output. Note that the first movable part 11 may be manually closed at this time.

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

[0069] After that, press the pressing button 40. At this time, a further effect sound is output, the name of the sub-toy body 30 is output, and the effect sound of the special move is output.

[0070] Also, after the above state, when the loaded sub-toy body 30 is removed and a different sub-toy body 30 is attached, an additional performance mode due to attaching a different sub-toy body 30 can be performed.

[0071] As described above, the action toy 1 of this embodiment can provide an action toy 1 that enables a way of enjoyment using the two movements of the first movable part 11 and the second movable part moving from positions away from each other to different positions around the base part 10.

[0072] In the action toy 1 of this embodiment, the moving distance of the first movable part 11 is configured to be larger than the moving 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). As a result, a movement that associates the amount of change in the moving positions and the relative positions of the first movable part 11 and the second movable part 12 can be achieved. As a result, both movable parts can create an approaching state and a separating state. In particular, in a plan view, when the first movable part 11 is located above the second movable part 12 to which the sub-toy body 30 is attached, the first movable part 11 can cover the sub-toy body 30.

[0073] In the action toy 1 of this embodiment, since the operated part 36 is exposed on the outer surface of the sub-toy body 30, the operated part 36 can be easily operated from the outside, and a predetermined performance can be performed in conjunction with the operation of the operated part 36.

[0074] In addition, by preparing a plurality of different sub-toy bodies 30, not only can their appearances be made different, but also the types can be identified by the identification unit 23 on the base body part 10 side, and an effect corresponding to the type can be output.

[0075] In the action toy 1 of this embodiment, the effect output unit on the base body part 10 side where the sub-toy body 30 is mounted is configured to be able to irradiate at least light on the sub-toy body 30. Further, since the sub-toy body 30 has a light-transmissive material, an effect in which light passes through the sub-toy body 30 can be performed.

[0076] In the action toy 1 of this embodiment, 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), the second movable part 12 can move from the outside (fourth position P4) of the base body part 10 to the inside (third position P3) of the base body part 10. Therefore, a series of operations from the attachment of the sub-toy body 30 to the completion of accommodation and attachment can be produced as a mechanical interlocking operation.

[0077] Also, according to the action toy 1 of this embodiment, in conjunction with the rotation operation of the rotary lever 50, the first movable part 11 reciprocates between the intermediate position P5 in front of the second position P2 and the first position P1. For example, when the first movable part 11 mimics the upper jaw, an operation such as chewing something can be produced.

[0078] Also, in the action toy 1 of this embodiment, since the movement of one rotation of the rotary lever 50 and the up-and-down reciprocating rotation operation of the first movable part 11 are simultaneous, a comfortable operation feeling can be produced for the operating user.

[0079] As described above, one embodiment of the present invention has been described, but the present invention can be appropriately changed within the scope of its technical idea. For example, in the above embodiment, the means for identifying the sub-toy body 30 is not particularly limited, and the configuration of the identification unit 23 can use, for example, NFC, the protruding shape of unevenness, or communication.

[0080] Also, in the above aspect, one rotation of the rotary lever 50 is synchronized with one up-and-down reciprocation of the first movable part 11, but it is not limited thereto, and the first movable part 11 may move up and down a plurality of times in one rotation.

[0081] In addition, the effect of the sub-toy body 30 in the above aspect is the operation of the outer shell and the operation of the arm part 35, but it is not limited to this configuration. For example, by providing the sub-toy body 30 with a light-emitting means or a sound-emitting means, effects such as sound and light may be output.
