Patent Document 1 describes a structure in which the capsule itself is used as a part of a toy. However, when the capsule is used as a part of a toy, the capsule is used in a spherical shape at the time of sale, so the shape of the toy depends on the spherical shape of the capsule. For this reason, it becomes difficult to maintain the original image of the character, and depending on the character, the shape of the capsule changes significantly, causing problems with the quality of the character itself and making it impossible to maintain its interest. Was. Furthermore, since the overall shape of the toy itself is basically spherical, there is a problem in that the state in which the toy is placed and displayed is unstable and lacks a sense of stability.

An object of the present invention is to provide a highly interesting toy with a stable display format.

A toy according to one aspect of the present invention is a shape-changeable toy that can take a first form and a second form, and includes a main body portion including a first outer shell portion and a second outer shell portion; a sub-body part that can be accommodated within the main body part, the main body part is in a state in which the first outer shell part and the second outer shell part are directly connected in the first form, and the sub-body part is , in the second form, is connected to the first outer shell part and the second outer shell part.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a highly interesting toy with a stable display format.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first form of a toy according to one aspect of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a second form of the toy shown in FIG. 1; FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a disassembled state of the toy shown in FIG. 1 during assembly. It is a front view showing an example of an assembled state of a toy. It is a side view of a 2nd form of toy.
