A posable toy figure is disclosed. The posable toy figure includes: a limb structure comprising a flexible support member at least partially enclosed in a pliable material member that is physically distinct from the flexible support member; a first rigid body member that encloses a first portion of the limb structure, the first rigid body member comprising a connection interface that extends from an exterior of the first rigid body member; and a second rigid body member that encloses a second portion of the limb structure, the second rigid body member and the first rigid body member being spatially separated such that the limb structure is exposed between the first body member and the second body member.

[Problem] To provide a block-type transformable toy with which it is possible to realize complex shapes with design properties, e.g., various animal shapes, while ensuring a degree of freedom of folding.

[Solution] Adjacent blocks are biased in directions of mutual contact using elastic cords, the adjacent blocks being changed so that surfaces having mutually different positional relationships are brought into contact with each other in resistance to the biasing force of the elastic cords, whereby the blocks can be transformed between a state of being folded so that the external shape becomes compact, and a state of being extended so as to take on the shape of an object to be expressed. Furthermore, at least two of the blocks among the plurality of blocks have a state in which two surfaces of each of the blocks simultaneously contact each other, the block-type transformable toy thereby being configured so that turning about the elastic cords is limited.

A toy comprising an expandable figurine with a cavity and a valve adapted to allow a fluid to enter the cavity. When the cavity is filled with the fluid, the expandable figurine expands from a normal state to an expanded state. The toy further comprises a housing containing the expandable figurine in the normal state. The housing has one or more break apart elements and an opening proximate the valve of the expandable figurine contained in the housing. The one or more break apart elements of the housing are configured to rupture when the expandable figurine expands from the normal state to the expanded state while being contained within the housing.

A poseable doll and method of retrofitting to form a poseable doll that has a thermoplastic head and a cloth body. A wire extends across a central region of the cloth body widthwise and into both arms of the cloth body. Two wires extend separately from respective ones of the legs of the cloth body across the central region lengthwise and into the head. Otherwise, a single wire is bent with its bend in the head so that the bent single wire can extend through the central region and into both of the legs. Terminal ends of all the wires are curled. The method may include retrofitting a non-poseable doll and include cutting stitching whose presence would interfere with positioning the wire into the cloth body to reach hands and feet of the arms and legs.

The invention is a poseable doll and methods of making a poseable doll. The doll includes an internal wire that extends across a torso region widthwise and into both arms. Two wires extend separately into each leg, through the torso, and into the head of the doll. Alternatively, a single wire can be bent with its bend in the head so that the bent single wire can extend through the central region and into both of the legs. Terminal ends of all the wires can be curled. The method may include retrofitting a non-poseable doll in some embodiments.
