The toy has a liquid degradable membrane extending over the opening of a hollow containment device. The membrane maintains a compressible component, such as a layer foam, in the device in its compressed state. A structure such as a doll supports the compressed component in the containment device, which may take the form of a plant pot. In a preferred embodiment, the compressed foam will expand through the plane of the membrane when contacted by the liquid after it passes through the membrane. An applicator may be provided to facilitate the application of the liquid to the membrane.

A scalable, portable platform for allowing digital interaction between physical objects and digital content in virtual or augmented reality applications is provided. The board comprises a base; an array of near field communication (NFC) antennas positioned at fixed locations within the base; a plurality of light sources, each light source centered within the antenna coil of a corresponding one of the NFC antennas; a plurality of magnets positioned on outer edges of the base such that multiple based can be connected together; and one or more processors configured to wirelessly transmit and receive messages to and from an external device, control the plurality of light sources, and detect and position objects placed on the base in a virtual space.

A leg actuator mechanism, a method of manufacturing the leg actuator mechanism, and a doll implementing a leg actuator mechanism is provided. The leg actuator includes an upper leg mechanism comprising a hip end and an opposing knee end. The leg actuator also includes a lower leg mechanism comprising a first end and an opposing second end, wherein the first end of the lower leg portion is operably coupled to the knee end of the upper leg portion. The leg actuator further includes a follower mechanism. The follower mechanism includes a mounting defining a follower pathway configured to receive a follower joint. The follower mechanism also includes an upper follower connector and a lower follower connector. The follower mechanism moves at least one of the upper leg mechanism or the lower leg mechanism when activated.

An article ejection structure is disclosed, having a housing, and a first biasing member positioned in the housing and having a first biasing force biasing the first biasing member toward a first neutral position to drive a rupture structure to rupture the housing. A release member restricts the first biasing member from moving toward the first neutral position when the release member is in a lock state, and is conditionable to a release state, in which the release member at least partially releases the first biasing member to move toward the first neutral position and drive the ejection structure to rupture the housing. A second biasing member positioned in the housing, the second biasing member having a second biasing force biasing the second biasing member toward a second neutral position to drive an article positioned in the housing out of the housing when the housing is ruptured.

A figurine display cabinet device is provided. The device is comprised of a body with an interior space with at least one shelf and at least one fastener, wherein the interior space is protected by at least one door that is preferably transparent. The interior space offers a user at least one repositionable shelf and repositionable fastener that can be used to display a doll, action figure, figurine, etc., in a vertical orientation on the shelf.

In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided and includes a housing and an inner object inside the housing. The inner object includes a breakout mechanism that includes a hammer and an actuation lever. The hammer is movable between a retracted position in which the hammer is spaced from the housing and an advanced position in which the hammer is positioned to break the housing. The actuation lever is pivotable from a hammer retraction position towards a hammer driving position so as to drive the hammer towards the advanced position.

A play device includes an outer shell, a holding compound, and at least one activatable character concealed within the compound. The character has a resilient/elastomeric body and at least one appendage. The character may bend, stretch, and/or be compressed. The compound is capable of temporarily confining a character covered with the compound. The compound gradually releases the character from a deformed state within the compound to an un-deformed state. The outer shell holds the deformed character within the compound to prevent the character from progressing to an activated, undeformed state until the user is ready to activate the character by releasing the character from the outer shell. Spring forces associated with the resilient or elastomeric material of the character allows it to progress from the deformed state to the un-deformed state in which the character expands and at least a portion of the character breaks free from the compound.
