  When playing with a model toy that looks like an insect or an animal, you can clearly distinguish emotions when you are calm by flashing lights, crying, barking, etc. There are no toys. In other words, from the player's point of view, the model toys so far have only been appealing to the two senses of the human sense organs, the tactile sense and the auditory sense. The fact is not.

  Especially in games where insects and animals face each other at night, the surroundings are so dark that the emotions of insects are difficult to recognize unless they are visually appealed by light, etc., and even the location of the model toy is specified. It ’s hard.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is a toy having an appearance of an insect or an animal, wherein a light-emitting diode that blinks or blinks is provided by a control circuit including a blinking circuit, a blinking circuit, and a voice utterance circuit. An electronic model toy having a light emitting and sounding device, wherein a sounding unit that emits a threatening sound or a roaring sound operates in conjunction.

  In other words, when the eyes of an insect or the like are blinking, the emotions are kept calm, and when the eyes are blinking in addition to the flashing of the eyes, the emotions are raised and the emotions at the time of the battle are displayed. It expresses. The distinction between “blinking” and “blinking” here means that the light gradually becomes brighter or darker, and the blinking is such that lighting on and off is clearly distinguished and continued. Represents a state.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic model toy having a light emitting and speaking device according to the first aspect, wherein the light emitting diode that emits light in a blinking or blinking form is a monochromatic light emitting diode.

  Insect or animal model toys are identified by using a single color light emitting diode of each color in order to select the eye color suitable for the single image according to the type. Monochromatic light emitting diodes are simple and easy to understand the degree of flickering, and are simple and inexpensive.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic model toy having a light emitting and sounding device according to the first aspect, wherein the light emitting diode that emits light in a blinking or blinking form is a high-intensity light emitting diode.

  A seventh aspect of the present invention is the electronic model toy having the light emitting and speaking device according to the first aspect, wherein the light emitting diode that emits light in a blinking or blinking form is a bidirectional light emitting diode.

  Bidirectional light-emitting diodes are used when it is desired to distinguish between two colors with the same light-emitting diodes in the expression of emotions when calm and in battle. Further, when it is calm, it can be flickered like a monochromatic light emitting diode.

  In addition to the traditional roaring and intimidating sounds, the model toy's eyes can be blinked or blinked with light-emitting diodes to clearly distinguish between emotional changes during game play when the model toy is calm . Even at night, it becomes easy to specify the position of the player or the opponent's model toy.

  On the player's side, by appealing to both the auditory and visual senses, which are sensory organs, a synergistic effect that realistically conveys the feelings of insects and animals is born, and the game can be further enjoyed.

  The best mode for carrying out the electronic model toy according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of an electronic model toy according to the present invention. 1 is a button switch A, 2 is a button switch B, and their input signals are sent to the control circuit 3. Inside the control circuit 3, a blinking circuit 4, a blinking circuit 5, and a voice utterance circuit 6 are provided.

  When an input signal is received from the button switch A1, it is processed by the control circuit 3, and the control circuit 3 activates the blinking circuit 4. The blinking signal generated by the blinking circuit 4 is sent to the light emitting diode 7. When the input signal is received from the button switch B2, it is processed by the control circuit 3 in the same way as when the input signal is received from the button switch A1, and the control circuit 3 activates the blinking circuit 5 and the voice utterance circuit 6. The flashing signal from the flashing circuit 3 is sent to the light emitting diode 7, and the voice utterance signal from the voice utterance circuit 6 is reproduced by the speaker 8.

  Each of the button switch A1 and the button switch B2 employs a self-holding switch, and can be repeatedly turned on and off each time it is pressed.
