A support structure for a toy character including a base, an expandable housing, a cap assembly, and at least one appendage is provided. The cap assembly includes at least two straps and a band for securing the cap assembly to the expandable housing. The at least one appendage extends from the cap assembly and includes a puncture surface. A rotation mechanism may be mounted to the base and have a receiving aperture sized to receive a portion of the expandable housing and include a lever to direct rotation of the rotation mechanism. The rotation mechanism may further include a rotation member having one or more hooks located adjacent the receiving aperture for securing the expandable housing thereto. The rotation member may be removeable from the base to provide access to the one or more hooks.

Described is a toy figure with activated components that are activated by wearable accessories. For example, a wearable ring can be positioned onto a toy figure as a mask or helmet, such that upon positioning the wearable ring upon the toy figure, the toy figure is activated to perform a function. The function is an action, such as causing the toy figure to reveal or expose a toy weapon (e.g., sword, gun, etc.), thereby allowing a user to engage in a variety of game play.

An action figure gaming assembly includes a controller and an action figure. The controller includes an actuator and a rotating surface. The action figure is attached to and rotates on a rotating surface when the actuator is activated. The action figure performs one of several attack maneuvers (weapon strike, punch, kick, lean and slap, and telescoping first) and one of several death configurations (torso split, disintegration, scissor split, and a forward or backward collapse). During game play, the action figure gaming assembly duels against other action figure gaming assemblies. Activation of the actuator causes the action figure to rotate with the rotation surface of the controller and to strike an opponent. Activation of the trigger portion by an opponent causes the action figure to transition to the death mode. In the death mode, part of a first body portion separates from part of a second body portion.

A novel bamboo tube fighting toy comprises a baseplate. The baseplate has an upward flange. The flange is machined with grooves on two sides. An upper housing plate is fixed above the baseplate, and the upper housing plate is provided with a first elongated slot and a second elongated slot. A movable rod penetrates through the groove and is mounted below the second elongated slot. A first sleeve, a rolling ball, a first spring and a handle are mounted at an outer end of the movable rod. A second sleeve, a collar, a second spring and a cross bar are mounted at an inner end of the movable rod. The second sleeve is connected to above the movable rod. The collar is provided at an upper part of the second sleeve. The second spring is supported between the collar and the movable rod. The cross bar is embedded at a lower part of the movable rod. A control rope is fixed on the cross bar, and is connected with a bamboo tube robot on the upper housing plate by penetrating through the second sleeve. The movable rod moves to drive the bamboo tube robot to move, and the movable rod swings to drive the bamboo tube robot to swing, thus correspondingly completing imitation of various fighting actions. The control rope is connected from the bamboo tube robot to the cross bar, such that the length of the control rope is greatly reduced. The movable rod realizes control of the bamboo tube robot by the leverage effect.
