One chair toy 20 can be arranged in combination with the table toy 40. In this case, the other chair toy 20 stored in the traveling toy body 10 can use the back side of the backrest portion 21, like a counter. The backrest portion 21 of the chair toy 20, which is used like a counter, protrudes from between the leg portions 31 of the display toy 30, allowing for integrated play with the display toy 30 by arranging small toys, such as those imitating donuts, together. Note that these small toys can be stored on the top plate 41 of the table toy 40 when the table toy 40 is turned over and placed in the storage space 50. The top plate 41 is surrounded on all sides by the relatively long decorative plates 43, making it easy to store the small toys thereon.
[0029] In the traveling toy 1, two chair toys 20 can be placed on the cargo bed 12 as shown in FIG. 8, allowing for play in the form of a bus. In other words, the chair toy 20 is formed so as be allowed to be installed on top of the storage space 50 such that the seat surface 22a extends horizontally. The two chair toys 20 are arranged in the front-rear direction and placed on the cargo bed 12 (on top of the storage space 50). As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the chair toy 20 is supported while the lower surface of the seat portion 22 (specifically, the peripheral wall portion erected downward in the shape of a wall from the outer periphery of the plate member constituting the seat portion 22) between the leg portions 23 in the short direction of the seat portion 22 comes into contact with the upper surface of the chair support member 53. The two leg portions 23 on the front side of the chair toy 20 on the front side are close to or in contact with the step portion 52a1. The two leg portions 23 on the rear side of the chair toy 20 on the rear side are close to or in contact with the step portion 52d1. In addition to the support by the chair support member 53, the leg portion 23 is also provided with a contactable location, allowing the chair toy 20 to be stably installed on top of the storage space 50. Note that regarding the direction of the chair toys 20 placed on top of the storage space 50, in addition to the direction (front direction) of FIG. 10, the two chair toys 20 may be arranged to face each other, both the two chair toys 20 may be arranged to face rearward, or the backrest portions 21 of the two chair toys 20 may be combined such that the chair toy 20 on the front side is placed facing forward and the chair toy 20 on the rear side is placed facing rearward.
