One or more methods, apparatuses, and/or systems are disclosed herein for selectively grasping one or more target objects. The apparatus includes a string and a winding mechanism. The winding mechanism is configured to selectively unwind and wind the string, wherein a first portion of the apparatus is configured to be separated from a second portion of the apparatus when the string is unwound and wherein the first and second portions are configured to be adjacent to one another when the string is wound. A plurality of members are pivotally mounted to the apparatus and operably coupled to the winding mechanism, wherein the plurality of members are configured to grasp an object responsive to actuation of a button that is located within an area defined by the plurality of members.

This invention is a system (10) for actuating eyes (12a, 12b) of a doll (14). The system has a support structure (16) with a recess portion (18) for receiving a plug-in element (20) along an insertion axis (E). The recess portion extends at least to an intake opening (22) of the doll. A pivot structure (24) pivots about an axis(S) to actuate the eyes, at least depending on a pivoting position of the doll. An eye actuation arrangement (26) pivots about an eye actuation pivot axis (A) to actuate the eyes, depending on a rotational position of the plug-in element in the recess portion.

A toy figure includes a connector for coupling two parts of the toy figure together. The connector has a first portion, a second portion, and a middle portion located between and coupled to both the first portion and the second portion. The middle portion is asymmetrically located between the first portion and the second portion, which creates a larger notch and facilitates a larger range of movement between the two parts of the toy figure.

A toy figurine and/or toy includes a body portion having one or more openings and styling features, the one or more openings being at least partially obscured by the styling features, and a mechanism with an actuator configured to extend externally of the body portion, wherein actuating the actuator from a first position to a second position causes surprise elements to move out of the one or more openings to change a styling of the body portion.
