In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided, and includes a housing and a toy vehicle inside the housing. The housing has a movable housing portion, and at least one functional element that is movable and is separate from the movable housing portion. The toy vehicle has a drive wheel that, when driven in a first rotational direction causes the drive wheel to drive movement of the functional element so as to carry out a function without driving movement of the toy vehicle towards the movable housing portion, and when driven in a second rotational direction causes the drive wheel to drive the vehicle towards the movable housing portion.

A plush toy system is provided having a composite insert of a foam inner made with a compressible foam and an augmentation element contained therein. A flexible outer covering surrounds the foam inner and has an inner surface for contacting the foam inner. The inner foam is compressed and constrained by the flexible outer covering such that it does not achieve a natural uncompressed size. The flexible outer covering is formed into a shape, or the inner foam is formed into the shape and the flexible outer covering is shaped to and aligned with the shape of the foam inner and entirely surrounding the foam inner such that the inner foam is not fully expanded and is constrained or compressed by the flexible outer covering.

In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided, and includes a toy assembly housing, an extensible object inside the toy assembly housing, an extension mechanism, and an extension member power source. The extensible object includes a base, and first and second extension members. The extension mechanism is operable to drive the first and second extension members towards extended positions, and is operatively connected to the second extension member via a lost motion connection. Driving of the extension mechanism by the extension mechanism power source drives the first extension member towards the extended position for the first extension member to break or open the toy assembly housing to expose the extensible object while consuming at least a portion of the lost motion in the lost motion connection. Upon consuming the lost motion, further driving the extension mechanism drives the first and second extension members towards the extended positions.

An inflatable decoration system and method comprising an inflatable decoration that deploys from and deflates into a decorative box, eliminating the eyesore aspect of inflatable holiday yard decorations of the past.

A flying toy that automatically flies out of its container when the container is opened. A toy has a self-contained power source, a processor coupled to the power source by a circuit and a propeller driven by the actuator. The processor controls an actuator that drives the propeller. The toy defines an opening from an external surface to the circuit. A container for the toy defines a seat for the toy that uniquely forces an orientation of the toy when in the container. The container has a lid and a mechanical interrupter that inserts into the opening when the lid is closed. Opening the lid causes withdrawal of the mechanical interrupter to close the circuit. The toy automatically flies out of the container responsive to the circuit closing.

The present application provides a decorative assembly, including a first container, a lid, a driving mechanism and a decorative article. The first container includes an accommodating cavity, the driving mechanism is mounted on the first container, the driving mechanism is connected to the decorative article, one side of the lid facing the accommodating cavity is rotatably connected to one side of the first container facing the lid, the driving mechanism selectively drives the decorative article to enter the accommodating cavity, and the driving mechanism selectively drives the lid to close the accommodating cavity. When the decorative article completely enters the accommodating cavity, the lid completely closes the accommodating cavity, thereby realizing the automatic closing of the lid and the automatic hiding of the decorative article, which satisfies the diverse demands of users, and further improves the practicality of the decorative assembly.
