  • the connecting portion necessary for the movement of the toy 1 for example, the connecting portion such as the shoulder connecting portion 18 or the elbow connecting portion 13 , members having different hardness and strengths are used at sliding portions connected by the connecting portion, which allows for a configuration in consideration of wear resistance, making it possible to provide the toy 1 that has increased durability and allows for good movement over a long period of time. Further, by using resins having different properties, a resin can also be appropriately selected for a member having good molding accuracy, so that the toy 1 having good movable accuracy and assembly accuracy of the movable part can be provided.
  • the present invention can be appropriately modified within the scope of the technical idea thereof.
  • a configuration in which the first part 10 is the upper limb has been described, but the toy according to the present invention is not limited thereto, and may have a configuration in which the first part 10 is the lower limb or includes the lower limb.
  • resin materials having different properties are used for the sliding portions of the shoulder connecting portion 18 and the elbow connecting portion 13 , but the toy according to the present invention is not limited thereto, and the same configuration may be adopted for the configuration of the knee portion 34 , for example.
  • the first parts each include a first sub-part that is supported rotatably on the second part, and a second sub-part that is supported rotatably on the first sub-part, and
  • the first sub-part and the second sub-part constitute a part of an outer shell of the toy in the first form.
  • the part of the outer shell formed by the first sub-part and the second sub-part forms a surface continuous with an outer surface of the second part in the first form.
  • the first form is an egg shape.

  • the second portions of the first sub-part and the second sub-part are accommodated in a space inside the first portions in a state where the first sub-part and the second sub-part form the continuous surface.
  • the first portion is formed by a member having a hardness lower than that of at least a part of the second portion.
