An item storage, display, and play system is provided comprising a vertically hanging, interactive graphic artwork with item retention features. The vertically hanging, interactive graphic artwork is a multi-dimensional artwork scaled to correspond with a size of one or more items and forms a storage and display area which also functions as a play area for items. The items are integrated into one or more scenes on the vertically hanging, interactive graphic artwork. A series of strategically placed item retention features are provided on the vertically hanging, interactive graphic artwork. A device for hanging the vertically hanging, interactive graphic artwork is also provided.

The present system relates to a toy and play system that provides 360-degree play surfaces along with extendable play areas. Multiple embodiments of the toys may be arranged proximal to one another to create an extended play environment. The toys may be manipulated from a closed orientation to an open orientation that provides for horizontal and vertical play while maintaining stability of the toy.

A toy figurine and/or toy figurine packaging is coated with a dissolvable layer. When the toy figurine is coated, the toy figurine is entirely coated so that its overall appearance, including its skin complexion and/or facial features, is substantially hidden or obscured. Then, when the figurine is submerged in a fluid, the dissolvable layer dissolves to reveal the figurine's appearance that had been hidden underneath the dissolvable layer. When the toy figurine packaging is coated, the toy figurine packaging hides the identity of a toy figurine enclosed therein until fluid is introduced to the packaging.

The present invention relates to a book comprising a first outer cover having a substantially planar body defining a first aperture extending therethrough; a second outer cover having a substantially planar body defining a second aperture extending therethrough; and at least one inner element located between the first and second outer covers, the or each inner element having a substantially planar body defining an inner element aperture extending therethrough; wherein at least a portion of the first and second apertures and the or each inner element aperture are aligned with one another to define a receiving aperture extending through the book.

Briefly, the present disclosure relates, in one embodiment, to a mannequin display and staging apparatus for mounting a mannequin to a door. The mannequin display and staging apparatus may include a base panel. At least one door hook may be connected to the base panel. The at least one door hook may be configured to receive a top portion of the door. At least one mannequin hook may be connected to the base panel. The at least one mannequin hook may be configured to receive an attachment portion of the mannequin. A passageway may be defined in the base panel. A rest may include a mounting projection. The mounting projection may be received in the passageway of the base panel.
