A top toy includes a trunk part having an insertion hole, first and second shafts, a locking part being configured on the trunk part to lock first and second locked parts and to hold the first and second shafts. The first and second shafts are interchangeable. When the first shaft is employed, the first shaft is inserted in the insertion hole. When the first shaft is employed, the locking part is configured to hold the first shaft elastically and radially inwardly. When the second shaft is employed, the second shaft is inserted in the insertion hole. When the second shaft is employed, the locking part is configured to hold the second shaft elastically and radially inwardly.

An illustrative toy vehicle is provided having a two-section chassis and a pivot mechanism rotatably attaching the two sections. The vehicle has the ability to move in multiple orientations and execute movements including a side rollover movement where the pivot mechanism assists in directing the vehicle to roll over from a first orientation to a second orientation about a central axis. A modified wheel design further assists in facilitating movements including the rollover movement. The vehicle may perform movements without user control where the vehicle responds to external factors, such as objects or terrain or the vehicle may use control systems such as radio or remote control with a transmitter/receiver pair, on vehicle switches or sensors utilizing interactive preprogrammed content.

A playing field for moving toy tops includes a playing board, a plurality of turntables, a motor and a power transmission mechanism. The turntables are disposed on the playing board. The power transmission mechanism transmits power of the motor to rotate the turntables. The playing board is formed in a shape of a mortar having a diameter which becomes smaller toward a lower end. The turntables are disposed at points other than a center of the playing board such that upper surfaces incline along the playing board. Rotary shafts of the turntables incline in a direction toward the center of the playing board according to the inclination of the upper surfaces.

A toy spinning top includes a main body having an upper portion and a lower portion and a vertical axis. A spinning tip extends from a lower portion of the main body. The upper portion has a two-dimensional shape having at least one corner point and the lower portion has the two-dimensional shape rotationally shifted about the vertical axis to form a helical groove. The groove is engaged with a die having a corresponding helical groove. Force applied to the main body along the vertical axis forces the main body through the die and imparts rotation to launch the main body spinning from the die.

A spinning top attachment device includes a top having a top base and a collet removably attached to the base. The collet has a pinion gear portion. A bore of the collet and a bore of the top base are sized and shaped to removably receive a drawing instrument, and the collet is configured to secure the drawing instrument to the top. A pull stick is sized and shaped to mesh with the pinion gear portion of the collet. The top and the drawing instrument, when assembled with one another, are configured to spin relative to a surface when the pull stick is pulled relative to the pinion gear portion, and the drawing instrument is configured to spin on and create a design on the surface.
