A method of manufacturing a toy finger skateboard may include inserting a flange portion of a toy finger skateboard truck into a flange receiver of a toy finger skateboard deck. The toy finger skateboard truck is moved such that a column portion of the toy finger skateboard truck is received by a through hole of the toy finger skateboard deck, and then, the method involves interacting with a top end of the column portion of the toy finger skateboard truck to affix the toy finger skateboard truck to the toy finger skateboard deck. A portion of the top end of the column portion may be cylindrical. The top end of the column portion of the toy finger skateboard truck may be welded to a seat portion of the toy finger skateboard deck, and the welding may include spin welding.

A toy finger board kit includes a board and at least one shoe. Each shoe includes a finger hole in an upper of the shoe and at least one bracket on a sole of shoe. The at least one bracket is configured to removably attach the at least one shoe to the board. In some instances, the board is formed by inserting a flange portion of a toy finger skateboard truck into a flange receiver of a toy finger skateboard deck. Then, the toy finger skateboard truck is moved such that a column portion of the toy finger skateboard truck is received by a through hole of the toy finger skateboard deck. Finally, a top end of the column portion of the toy finger skateboard truck is affixed to the toy finger skateboard truck to the toy finger skateboard deck.

An articulating mechanical toy including a universal docking mechanism having a left articulating wing, and a right articulating wing is provided. The left articulating wing assembly and the right articulating wing assembly each include a first linkage that may be attached at a respective one of the opposite ends of the docking mechanism. Each respective wing may also include a pair of movable linkages that are connected in series and are removably attachable to a respective primary linkage. Disposed about each movable linkage are a plurality of feather like elements that are coupled to one another via monofilament suture. The articulating toy mechanism is configured and designed to be controlled by a user (e.g., a child). The mechanical toy may include interchangeable left and right wing assemblies and may be interchangeably, attached to a plurality of toys—such as action figures—via the docking mechanism.

A sculpture device has a base, a figurine, a control element, a cover, and a device attachment clip. The control element has a magnetic mechanism for moving the figurine along an upper surface of the base in correspondence with movement of the control element along a lower surface of the base. The cover is coupled to the base and encloses a device interior of the sculpture device. The device attachment clip is coupled to the cover and has a through-hole or a sculpture lens. The device attachment clip removably attaches the sculpture device to an electronic device in a manner such that the through-hole or the sculpture lens is aligned with a camera lens of the electronic device allowing an operator to view the figurine and the device interior on a display screen of the electronic device when the camera is activated.

A transformable toy for use on a playing surface is provided. The transformable toy is formed to includes at least one movable housing element that will move from and expanded to a retracted position when a catch and a latch of the transformable toy are secured and released by an actuator of the transformable toy. The transformable toy is formed to roll about at least one rotation axis thereof, and in some embodiments, is also formed to be driven to spin about a spinning axis thereof. In some embodiments the transformable toy includes separably connectable top and bottom housing portions, and in some embodiments, different bottom housing portions can be exchanged on a particular top housing portion to provide different functionality to the transformable toy. The transformable toy can be driven to spin about the spinning axis by a shaft and flywheel mounted within the transformable toy.

A backpack assembly having shoulder straps and a character that is affixed to the backpack. The character has at least one externally visible feature that can be selectively moved between a first position and a second position. The movement of the feature is performed by an actuator that is built into the character. The actuator operates to move the character's features when activated by the person wearing the backpack. A manually operated controller is positioned on at least one of the shoulder straps. A control umbilical interconnects the manually operated controller to the actuator. The control umbilical, in the form of a pneumatic tube or a mechanical cable, is directed through the shoulder strap, across the bag, and to the actuators in the character.

The present invention includes A toy with an extendable mechanism capable of transforming its original compact shape into a new entity without need to manipulate its parts or add new parts comprising: a hollow sphere (1) formed from two caps; an upper hinge (4) at a top of the hollow sphere (1) that connects two symmetrical caps; two protuberances (5) generally centrally located in each of the caps connected to a central internal spring; a circular hinge (6) connected to a spring and the hinges articulate two cylindrical arms (7) that converge in two circular hinges (8) contained within a central casing (9); and a body-shaped part (10) connected to the central casing (9), such that the body-shaped part (10) projects out from the lower part of the sphere (1), and upon being ejected, the caps close automatically with a spring at the upper hinge (4).
