An interactive toy system is shown and described. The toy system can include a container forming a receptacle and having a top opening and a carriage. The carriage is disposed in the receptacle and rotatable about an axis between a first position and a second position. The carriage has a first receiving space and a second receiving space. The first receiving space is accessible through the top opening when the carriage is in the first position and inaccessible when the carriage is in the second position. The second receiving space is accessible through the top opening when the carriage is in the second position and inaccessible when the carriage is in the first position. The toy system can include a fog system configured to generate fog within the container. The fog obfuscating the first receiving space.

A self-propelled toy, includes a “drive and control” module and a housing in the shape of a dinosaur, animal or human sliding sports player. An axle with wheels is attached to the drive and control module in the housing. A pull-back mechanism includes a motor drive/driven gear that drivingly connects to the axle drive/driven gear, wherein upon pulling back the toy body with the wheels touching the ground, the pull-back mechanism generates and stores mechanical potential energy. Upon release of the toy body, kinetic energy drives the toy in a direction opposite that of the pull-back direction. A controller is connected to the pull-back mechanism and is electrically connected to at least one light emitting diode (LED) in the toy body. When the toy is released to allow the toy to move forward, the LED is powered to generate a light signal and optionally a sound transducer generates a sound.

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 toy figure with a changeable face comprising: a head; a facial area located on the head; a torso attached to the head; a pair of arms attached to the torso; a pair of legs attached to the torso; changeable markings located on the facial area, the changeable markings will change when the changeable markings receive a stimuli. A toy figure backpack comprising: a container, the container comprising a front side configured to abut against a toy figure, and a rear side; attachment means located on the container, and configured to removeably attach to the toy figure; a pair of electrically conductive contacts located on the front side; a pc board in communication with the pair of electrically conductive contacts, the pc board located within the container; a power supply located within the container and in communication with the pc board.

An illuminating animation device secured within the housing of a bubble producing toy. Animation is created by the illumination of LEDs, which are secured within chambers of the device and project through a film and onto an inside surface of the housing. A printed circuit board is secured within the device and is electrically connected to a microcontroller unit secured within the housing. One mode of activating the illuminating animation device is via the connection of a hat to the housing. The hat includes resisters that close a circuit between the toy and the hat. The microcontroller unit detects and recognizes the value of the resistors and transmits a correlating signal to various electronic components of the toy, which activates features associated with the resistance value.

A toy has one or more LED light sources positioned on the toy so the light source illuminates beyond the toy. A toy to be worn on the human finger comprises a body includes an anchoring portion for receiving or locating a finger or fingers. A LED or other light source is operated on the toy to interact with photo- luminescent ink and other inks pre-printed or included in a decoration on the surface of another item such as a book or other toy. The toy is a reading tool or a light source or an enhancement of other toys or writings. The LED light sources include a black light and/or other LED lights of other colors. The lights are connected to a circuit board and an integrated power source, which are connected to a switch encased on the toy.

Devices and methods for illuminating an interactive toy via a light pipe and an external light source. The toy may not have any internal battery, light, or electronics. The light source may be provided via a mount for the toy, such as an electronic device.

A toy has one or more LED light sources positioned on the toy so the light source illuminates beyond the toy. A toy to be worn on the human finger comprises a body includes an anchoring portion for receiving or locating a finger or fingers. A finger puppet toy permits for at least one of a reading tool and a light source or an enhancement of other toys or writings. A LED or other light source is operated on the toy to interact with photo-luminescent ink and other inks. A photo-luminescent ink and other inks are pre-printed or included in a decoration on the surface of another item such as a book or other toy. The toy is a reading tool or a light source or an enhancement of other toys or writings. The LED light sources include a black light and may include other LED lights of other colors. The lights are connected to a circuit board and an integrated power source, which are connected to a switch encased on the toy. The mechanism, number and location of LED lights, the circuit board, wiring, power source and switch are further defined based on the shape of the character of the toy.
