Components may be used to build a three-dimensional (3-D) model. The components can include supports and connectors. A subset of components can be selected based on the 3-D model. The subset of components can be used to build the 3-D model.

A transformable toy including a main body and a transformation inducing unit, wherein the main boy includes a body part; at least one first body portion; at least one pressing part; and a locking part to fix the body part and the first body portion to the main body. When the locking part is unlocked by an operation of the transformation inducing unit, the first body portion and the one pressing part are moved away from the body part such that the toy transforms from a first shape into a second shape in which at least a portion of the main body is caused to be floating from a floor by the pressing part.

In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided, and includes a housing and a toy vehicle inside the housing. The housing has a movable housing portion, and at least one functional element that is movable and is separate from the movable housing portion. The toy vehicle has a drive wheel that, when driven in a first rotational direction causes the drive wheel to drive movement of the functional element so as to carry out a function without driving movement of the toy vehicle towards the movable housing portion, and when driven in a second rotational direction causes the drive wheel to drive the vehicle towards the movable housing portion.

The shooting toy (1) includes a shooter (5) and a projectile (4) to be ejected from the shooter. A trigger element (6) is movably mounted in a shooter body (7) and has a pusher part (10) adapted to push the projectile (4) away from its loaded position. The shooter (5) is adapted to eject the projectile (4) along a centre axis of a cylindrical surface of the projectile (4). A pinching element (8) is adapted to prevent ejection in said direction of the projectile (4) in its loaded position in the shooter body (7) by means of frictional force acting between a pinching surface of the pinching element (8) and the cylindrical surface of the projectile (4). The pinching surface is adapted to guide the cylindrical surface of the projectile (4) in the ejection direction.

A loading and launching device for toy vehicles is disclosed that is actuated with a single pull of an actuator to both load and launch a toy vehicle, such as onto a toy vehicle track set. The device includes a horizontal toy vehicle loader and a toy vehicle launcher that are coupled to one another, such that as the launcher moves rearward, the loader moves from a vehicle receiving and loading position (in which the loading and launching device may receive a toy vehicle returning from the toy track set) to a launch position that pushes a toy vehicle into position directly in front of the launcher. When the launcher is released, it contacts and launches the toy vehicle.

A spinning top accelerator and a driving device are disclosed. The driving device includes a case and an acceleration gear set which is rotatably provided in the case. A gravity block is slidably provided on the case, and the gravity block is drivingly connected to the acceleration gear set. When the gravity block slides back and forth on the case by swinging, the gravity block drives the acceleration gear set to rotate.

In an aspect, a toy vehicle is provided and includes a main body, wheels and a power source. The main body includes a fixed portion and a movable portion that is movably connected to the fixed position for movement between a first movable portion position and a second movable portion position, which moves the center of gravity of the vehicle to a first or second position respectively. When the movable portion is in the first position, the power source drives the toy vehicle into a wheelie. When the movable portion is in the second position, the power source drives the toy vehicle without driving the toy vehicle into a wheelie.

Systems and method for using a modular game accessory to play a video game. A smart toy is presented that can be reconfigured by the player on the fly while playing the video game by adding and removing modules. When the smart toy is reconfigured, the capabilities of the player's in-game avatar are modified accordingly. In this way, the smart toy exists as a hybrid of a physical toy and video game avatar. Modules for modifying the smart toy can represent components and crew of the vehicle represented by the smart toy, and different modules can offer different capabilities to the in-game avatar.

A system for launching a toy projectile from a clip connector. The toy projectile has elongated arm elements and elongated leg elements. The toy projectile is launched from a clip connector launcher. The clip connector launcher has a housing with a top opening, side openings, and an internal divider. The elongated arm elements and the elongated leg elements from the toy projectile are inserted into the top opening of the clip connector housing. The elongated arm elements mechanically interlock with the side openings in the clip connector housing when in a fully engaged position. The leg elements are spread by the divider within the clip connector housing when in the fully engaged position. The elongated arm elements and the elongated leg elements store spring energy that releases to accelerate the toy character out and away from the clip connector housing.

A toy controller is provided that includes a housing and a base supported by the housing. The base is rotatable relative to the housing and supports a plurality of rotating platforms. A pull handle can be used to rotate the base. A trigger can be used to control rotation of the platforms.
