A toy vehicle booster is presented herein. The toy vehicle booster includes a booster assembly that is integrated into a lid of a track storage container so that the toy vehicle booster forms a portion of a storage container for a track set. In some instances, the booster assembly includes a first booster and a second booster. The first booster may accelerate toy vehicles along a first pathway and the second booster may accelerate toy vehicles along a second pathway. In at least some of these embodiments, at least the second booster may be reversible so that the second booster can accelerate toy vehicles along the second pathway in a first direction or a second direction opposite the first direction.

A transformable toy including a main body and a transformation inducing unit, wherein the main boy includes a body part; at least one first body portion; at least one pressing part; and a locking part to fix the body part and the first body portion to the main body. When the locking part is unlocked by an operation of the transformation inducing unit, the first body portion and the one pressing part are moved away from the body part such that the toy transforms from a first shape into a second shape in which at least a portion of the main body is caused to be floating from a floor by the pressing part.

A loading and launching device for toy vehicles is disclosed that is actuated with a single pull of an actuator to both load and launch a toy vehicle, such as onto a toy vehicle track set. The device includes a horizontal toy vehicle loader and a toy vehicle launcher that are coupled to one another, such that as the launcher moves rearward, the loader moves from a vehicle receiving and loading position (in which the loading and launching device may receive a toy vehicle returning from the toy track set) to a launch position that pushes a toy vehicle into position directly in front of the launcher. When the launcher is released, it contacts and launches the toy vehicle.

A spinning top accelerator and a driving device are disclosed. The driving device includes a case and an acceleration gear set which is rotatably provided in the case. A gravity block is slidably provided on the case, and the gravity block is drivingly connected to the acceleration gear set. When the gravity block slides back and forth on the case by swinging, the gravity block drives the acceleration gear set to rotate.

A system for launching a toy projectile from a clip connector. The toy projectile has elongated arm elements and elongated leg elements. The toy projectile is launched from a clip connector launcher. The clip connector launcher has a housing with a top opening, side openings, and an internal divider. The elongated arm elements and the elongated leg elements from the toy projectile are inserted into the top opening of the clip connector housing. The elongated arm elements mechanically interlock with the side openings in the clip connector housing when in a fully engaged position. The leg elements are spread by the divider within the clip connector housing when in the fully engaged position. The elongated arm elements and the elongated leg elements store spring energy that releases to accelerate the toy character out and away from the clip connector housing.

A toy controller is provided that includes a housing and a base supported by the housing. The base is rotatable relative to the housing and supports a plurality of rotating platforms. A pull handle can be used to rotate the base. A trigger can be used to control rotation of the platforms.

A transformable toy vehicle hauler comprises a trailer portion that includes three or more trailer sections pivotably coupled end-to-end. A cabin portion is connected to the trailer portion and includes a toy vehicle launcher. The toy vehicle hauler is capable of being configured in a transport configuration where the three or more trailer sections are folded together in a zigzag pattern and a raceway configuration where the three or more trailer sections are unfolded to form a straight track.

A toy vehicle launcher is disclosed. The launcher includes a cavity configured for receiving a plurality of toy vehicles. Furthermore, the launcher includes a launching mechanism that launches a single toy vehicle while loading the next vehicle into the launching position in a single action. Additionally, the launching mechanism includes an actuator for triggering the launching of the toy vehicles. Moreover, the launcher is configured for easy access to the storage of the plurality of toy vehicles in the cavity.

A toy vehicle booster is presented herein. The toy vehicle booster includes a booster assembly with linked booster wheels positioned on opposite sides of a track section. The booster's track section includes a central wall that defines two pathways between the linked booster wheels. Consequently, either one of the linked booster wheels can compress a first toy vehicle of a first size that is traveling within one of the two pathways against the central wall to accelerate the first toy vehicle through the track portion. Additionally or alternatively, the linked booster wheels can engage both sides of a second toy vehicle of a second size that is traveling along both of the two pathways to accelerate the second toy vehicle.

A toy vehicle play set includes a mechanical accelerator for toy vehicles and a game board defining point value zones within a field of play. A collision game may be played with the parts of the kit and with the players contributing their own toy vehicles, in which a first player positions “defensive” vehicles and a second player dynamically introduces a series of “offensive” vehicles into the field of play. Scoring is determined by the at rest positions of the “offensive” vehicles in defined point value zones.
