Embodiments generally relate to toy devices having an embedded memory for use in a storytelling environment. One embodiment provides a toy device that includes a memory storing data representing a plurality of effects. The toy device includes a memory bus communicatively coupled to the memory and a communication port communicatively coupled to the memory bus. An action disc device connected to the communication port can retrieve at least a portion of the stored data for playback over the communication port. The action disc device is configured to, upon detecting that a corresponding stimulus condition has been satisfied, retrieve data from the memory corresponding to one of the plurality of effects for playback using the communication port. The toy device further includes a connector mechanism to which the action disc device can be removably attached, while the action disc device is connected to the communication port.

A mobile toy and a stunt figure attachable with the mobile toy are described. In a desired aspect, the mobile toy is a skateboard-shaped toy having a skateboard deck with a flywheel positioned within the skateboard deck. The stunt figure is detachably attachable with the skateboard-shaped toy through snap-fit connection mechanisms on the skateboard-shaped toy. In a desired aspect, the stunt figure comprises at least one appendage and the stunt figure is attached with the skateboard-shaped toy through at least one appendage. The stunt figure can be formed in a variety of shapes to alter the form and center of gravity of the toy to provide for a variety of stunts.

A multi-body self-propelled device can include a drive body and a coupled head. The drive body can include a spherical housing, an internal drive system within the spherical housing to propel the multi-body self-propelled device, and a magnet holder coupled to the internal drive system to hold a first set of magnetic elements. The drive body can further include a first power source within the spherical housing to power the internal drive system and a first inductive interface. The coupled head can include second set of magnetic elements to establish a magnetic interaction with the first set of magnetic elements through the spherical housing. The coupled head can also include a second power source, and a second inductive interface. The multi-body self-propelled device can transfer power between the coupled head and the drive body via the first and the second inductive interfaces.

Disclosed in embodiments of the present application is a toy car, including: a chassis, where the chassis includes a first end portion, a middle body portion and a second end portion which are arranged in a first direction; two first wheels arranged at the first end portion and spaced apart in a second direction; two second wheels arranged at the second end portion and spaced apart in the second direction; and a first driving member and a second driving member which are both mounted at the middle body portion, where the second driving member and the first driving member are arranged in the first direction and/or the second direction, and the second driving member is configured to drive the two first wheels to turn. By means of the toy car provided in the embodiments of the present application, the situation that the mass and size of the first end portion are far greater than the mass and size of the second end portion can be reduced, thereby reducing the rollover probability of the toy car during traveling. In addition, the structure of the present application has the characteristic of high adaptability, and can be adapted to various low-height sports car simulation models with space limitations, thereby increasing the degree of simulation of the toy car, and improving the playability of the toy car.

The present invention provides a toy for outputting a sound source, comprising: a sound source output unit; a sensor unit for measuring position and motion information of the toy; a communication unit for transmitting, to an electronic device, the position and motion information measured by the sensor unit and receiving, from the electronic device, a sound source and a control command; and a control unit for controlling the sound source output unit to adjust and reproduce the received sound source according to the control command.

A tubular transport system with a motorized vehicle includes a) an at least partially transparent hollow tube being semi-flexible so as to bend to a predetermined minimum radius and no further; b) a motorized vehicle within tube; c) a motor within or connected to the vehicle for movement by traction; d) a power source for the motor; e) a traction mechanism for assisting in movement of said motor vehicle. The vehicle may be themed, and may be singular, plural articulated and/or plural separate vehicles.

A device includes a signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.

A walking toy in which if a torso is moved forward walking motion is performed has the torso, two legs. The walking toy includes a crank member having a pair of crank eccentric shafts. Each of the legs has a motion member giving rotational force to the crank member when the torso moves forward. Each of the motion members has an eccentric shaft connecting part pivotably connected to the corresponding crank eccentric shaft, a torso cooperation part, and an action part on which force received from the walking surface act. Projections are formed at the torso cooperation part, while grooves are formed at the torso. If the action part of the one leg moves rearward, the motion member moves to thereby impart rotational force to the crank member and, the other leg is moved forward due to rotation of the crank member, and then contacts the walking surface.
