A toy ring-launcher apparatus for wearing on a human finger as an item of play jewelry that's comprised of means for starting to rotate and then subsequently releasing other toy apparatuses or objects exhibiting gyroscopic tendencies, such as gyroscopic tops, flying propellers, or rolling wheels so they rotate very fast around a central axis and move independently of the toy ring-launcher apparatus on a flat surface, in the air, or on a toy racing track, respectively. Methods are also included for using the provided toy ring-launcher apparatus to have fun and enjoyment.

Gaming systems and methods for a battling game which may use two or four physical toy tops and a stadium-shaped toy game board arena for physical game play interactions between game players. The battling 2-in-1 stadium battle dome allows a number of users to play on one side and then flip over to play on the other, encouraging 2 and 4 player battles. The stadium is shaped like a dome, enclosed on both sides, and there are two different sides to play on, overall creating four different play surfaces. The toy has double sided suspended play surfaces for corresponding game play with various surfaces of the different sides.

A first locking mechanism is configured to block rotating the first and second holders by locking an operation component or by locking the first and second holders when the cap is not mounted on one of the first and second holders, and is configured to unlock rotating the first and second holders by being engaged with the cap when the cap is mounted on one of the first and second holders and when the cap is arranged to face upwardly towards a upper side. A second locking mechanism is configured to block rotating the first and second holders by locking the operation component or by locking the first and second holders when the cap is mounted on one of the first and second holders and when the cap is arranged to face downwardly to a lower side opposite to the upper side.

A spinning top toy for spinning on a surface includes a shaft part and a body. The shaft part includes a shaft part body and a ground contact part being integrally formed with the shaft part body. The shaft part extends in an axial direction. The body is configured on the shaft part. The ground contact part includes a wheel-shaped body being slidably configured on the shaft part body. The wheel-shaped body is configured to be moved to a first position, and is configured to be moved to a second position. The second position is closer to the surface than the second position in the axial direction. The wheel-shaped body is configured to be in contact with the surface when at the second position.
