A spinning top toy includes a shaft part, a body being detachably attached to the shaft part, a locking part being configured on the body, a first locked part being configured on the shaft part, and a lock mechanism being configured either on the shaft part or the body. The body includes a movable locking part being movable between a first position and a second position. The locking part is configured to allow a relative rotation of the shaft part and the body when the movable locking part is at the first position and to block the relative rotation when the movable locking part is at the second position. The lock mechanism is configured to block a movement of the movable locking part when the movable locking part is at the first position.

There is provided a spinning top excellent in the dimensional accuracy and excellent in the rotation balance and a method for manufacturing the spinning top. The spinning top 100 includes a rotating shaft 110 and a rotating outer circumference section 120 that is fitted to the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 110 so as to be coaxial with the rotating shaft 110, in which the rotating shaft 110 includes a parallel section 112 that has a circular cylindrical shape parallel to the rotation axis AX of the rotating shaft 110 and is fitted to the rotating outer circumference section 120, a tapered section 114 that continues to the parallel section 112, inclines by a predetermined angle with respect to the rotation axis AX of the rotating shaft 110, and is fitted to the rotating outer circumference section 120, and a tip section 116 that continues to the parallel section 112 or the tapered section 114. Generally perfect concentricity can be achieved by fitting the rotating shaft 110 and the rotating outer circumference section 120 to each other through a fitting surface including the parallel section 112 and the tapered section 114. Thus, a spinning top excellent in the dimensional accuracy and excellent in the rotation balance can be provided.

A top launching device for launching a top includes a device body and an operating belt. The device body includes first and second input rotors to rotate, an output rotor configured to hold the top in a state with a central axis of the output rotor aligned with a central axis of the top and configured to rotate and impart the rotational force to the top, and a coupling rotor configured to transmit the rotational force from the input rotor to the output rotor. The operating belt is configured to be inserted in the device body, and to be engaged with either the first or the second input rotor. The output rotor is configured to rotate the top, impart the rotational force to the top, and release the top. The operating belt is configured to be selectively engaged with one of the first and second input rotors.

A transformable toy kit for use on a support surface is provided. The transformable toy kit includes a transformable toy which has a movable housing element that moves between retracted and expanded positions when a catch and a latch of the transformable toy are secured and released by an actuator of the transformable toy, respectively. The transformable toy further includes a shaft assembly including a shaft rotatably mounted within the housing, and a flywheel mounted to the shaft, which includes a gear. The kit includes a ripcord member that is insertable into an access aperture in the housing to engage with the gear. The ripcord member is pullable once inserted into the access aperture so as to drive rotation of the flywheel, thereby driving spinning of the transformable toy.
