Description

The current application is a continuation-in-part (CIP) application of a U.S. non-provisional application Ser. No. 16/932,706 filed on Jul. 18, 2020.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Generally, the present disclosure relates to the field of amusement devices: games. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a racer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Action figures of past/current are renowned static, at rest or enacted, and are handled for play and recreation. Movements in the action figures are accomplished by direct human interaction with the action figures. Further, the movements accomplished in the action figures may be translational and/or orientational based on the configuration of the action figures. Further, the action figures do not collaborate with means of transportations typical that may be used in cars, boats, and planes. The action figures are void of competitive racing challenges or interests.
Existing action figures for play and recreation are deficient with regard to several aspects. For instance, current action figures do not include means of transportations for accomplishing movements in the action figures. Furthermore, current action figures are not a representation of a human anatomical structure. Moreover, current action figures do not allow play and/or recreation without direct human interaction with the action figures.
Therefore, there is a need for improved racer that may overcome one or more of the above-mentioned problems and/or limitations.

Overview

The present disclosure describes a racer. Further, the racer may include an action figure, readily recognized as being a superhero, configured to depict the said figure in racing mode or other, for contest or recreation, respectively. Movement is accomplished with a “mode of transportation” attached, like that of cars, boats, and planes, or other lands, sea, ice, air transport. Group activity is excited by interacting in competitions or friendly recreation, based upon the action figures' representative “celebrity” characteristics. The geometry of the action figure is that of, or equal to, a human anatomical structure, longing it permits human interactivity in its configuration, for the conveyance of entertainment in race competitions/recreations. The structure of the action figure can be of elastomer, plastic, metal, or like material properties, at least in part, whilst customization is permitted/willed.
Further, the present disclosure describes the racer. Further, the racer may include an action character, racer, assembled in “human-like” configurations (physical positions/orientations) solely or on various means of transportation, as in a skateboard, snowboard, surfboard, or that of independent body translation/rotation, for a competitive contest. The means of transportation incorporates a drivetrain to propel said racer from rest to an objective position. Said racer is secured to the transport, if applicable, through permanent/non-permanent particulars, which allows the racer to detach during impact (in the said contest), human interaction, or any explicit act. A remote device transmits frequencies to invoke action to the receiver, assembled in the mode of transport, or racer, moving the racer and/or mode of transportation, kinematically (translating/rotating orientating) on land, water, ice, and/or in air.
Further, the present disclosure describes the racer. Further, the racer comprises a combination set for recreational and/or play. Further, the combination set comprises a character (figurine) and a mode of transportation (transportation device). Further, the figurine may include an action figure. Further, the figurine may be configured to be moved and/or oriented in different movements and/or orientations that are replication of human's physical movements and/or orientations. Further, the figurine is configured to be moved and/or oriented in the different movements and/orientations by utilizing natural forces and/or augmented forces remotely. Further, the figurine performs different movements and/orientations in the competition and/or recreation to excite the users' emotions. Further, the figurine comprises internal components to articulate the body of a racer for enhancing the replication of human “physical” movement/orientations in land, sea, snow, or air remotely. Further, the movements such as translation, hover, and non-movement (rest) utilize natural forces and/or augmented forces. Further, the figurine performs the movements such as translation, hover, and non-movement (rest) in the competition and/or recreation to excite the users' emotions. Further, the mode of transportation comprises internal components to articulate the body of said racer for enhancing the replication of human “physical” movement/orientations in land, sea, snow, or air remotely. Further, the movements such as translation, hover, and non-movement (rest) utilize natural forces and/or augmented forces. Further, the figurine performs the movements such as translation, hover, and non-movement (rest) in the competition and/or recreation to excite the users' emotions.
Further, the present disclosure describes a racer. Further, the racer comprises a (“superhero”) character/figure, configured on different modes of transportation, for the purpose of recreation and/or competitive entertainment/contest. The said character/figure is a racer partaking in the contest, with itself attached to the mode of transportation at any part of its anatomy, usually the foot, and the other body parts used (orientated/configured) to balance its weight with respect to the mode of transportation, remotely. The said mode of transportation is a form that's amongst an automotive, or skateboard, snowboard, boat, aeronautical (plane) vehicle, or other, which includes sole propulsion/transport.
