The present invention relates to a transforming toy and, particularly, to a multi-step transforming toy, wherein the toy transforms in a first step in a process of preparing for a launch and transforms in a second step in a process of lunching a traveling object, and the traveling object, which has passed through the transforming toy, also transforms. Therefore, the toy can arouse a child's interest and launch a predetermined shaped object such as a missile, a fist, or a baby dinosaur.

A manipulable multi-piece toy having a spherical body that is removably captured between a base and an attachment member is provided. The base and the attachment member are configured to have portions of a coupling element associated therewith. The base also has a depression with curvature for receiving and securely retaining a first portion of the spherical body in its assembled configuration. In some configurations, the depression comprises a seat with geometry that mates with geometry of the spherical body. By one approach, the base includes a vehicular or figure body. In another aspect, the attachment member includes, for example, a helmet, a hat, a headdress, hair, horns, ears, and/or a mask.

The present invention discloses a toy vehicle and a method to operate the toy vehicle. The toy vehicle comprises a chassis member having a through cavity between a proximal end portion and a distal end portion of the chassis. A rotatable toy is received within the through cavity and pivotally coupled to the chassis member via a pivot member to be rotated along a pivot point. The rotatable toy has two head portions aligned angularly apart and mirroring each other. The rotatable toy is configured to rotate at about 90 degrees when the chassis member rotates at about 180 degrees such that one head portion of the two head portions is always posing out of the through cavity in a direction of a travel of the toy vehicle.

A toy vehicle has a longitudinal central axis aligned for travel through a passageway of an elongated tubular track having a non-linear pathway which at least partly confines the toy vehicle. The toy vehicle has first plural translational elements spaced about the toy vehicle's longitudinal central axis for engagement with the inner surface of the tubular track. At least one translational element is a drive translational element which drives the toy vehicle through the passageway of the elongated tubular track. Second plural translational elements are spaced about the longitudinal central axis of the toy vehicle for engagement with the curved inner surface of the track, and each of the translational elements of the first and second plural translational elements are independently moveable and are biased in at least an outward radial direction from the longitudinal central axis of the toy vehicle.
