In the first embodiment 100A, the left and right two light emitting diodes (FIG. 1), which are the light output sections 98 behind the head 10, are turned on or off under the costume. Since the left and right light emitting diodes 98a, 98a are located at the positions of the eyes of the first embodiment 100A, the first embodiment 100A causes an image like a living thing, not an inorganic substance.

  In this state, when the form changing toy 100 is stroked or listens to music, the foot plate 63 of the first form 100A vibrates up, down, left, and right. Then, the tail portion 80 projects from the inside of the hatch 41 being opened, and becomes the second mode 100B.

  Next, when the form changing toy 100 is stroked or listens to music, the foot plate 63 of the second form 100B vibrates up, down, left, and right. Further, the hatch 41 performs an opening and closing operation. Then, the foot plate 63 is unfolded, and the recoil causes the shape-changing toy 100 to rise, the head 10 is unfolded, and the face 11 and the ears are unfolded to obtain the third mode 100C.

  Also, when the user strokes or listens to music in the third mode 100C, the foot plate 63 moves, and the body shakes left and right.

<< Modification of this embodiment >>
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the servo mechanism includes the motor and the potentiometer, but an encoder may be provided instead of the potentiometer.

  Further, the head 10, the hatch 41 and the foot 63 are set to the first state at the time of shipment, but a reset button is provided, and when the player presses the reset button, the head 10, the hatch 41 and the foot 63 are set. 63 may be configured to be able to return to the first state.

  Further, it is detected by a detection switch or the like that the player manually folds the head 10 or the foot plate 63 to some extent or closes the hatch 41 to some extent, and when the detection is performed, the motor is operated. The foot plate 63 and the hatch 41 may be moved to the holding position. In this case, the holding mechanism holds the operating component biased by the spring toward the first state in the second state, and releases the holding of the operating component in the second state. May be operated up to the first state.

  Further, the present invention can also be applied to a form change toy that simply operates an operation component between the first state and the second state without providing a holding mechanism as in the above-described embodiment.

  Also, if the accommodation recess is larger than the operating component and the raised material of the accommodation recess and the raised material of the operation component cannot be properly attached to each other, if necessary, the back of the costume can be placed between the accommodation recess and the operating component. It is also possible to provide a pad which can be interposed and has a raised material formed on the outer surface, and abut the raised material of the pad and the raised material of the operation component to make the gap between the accommodation recess and the operation component inconspicuous.
