Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the following embodiments do not limit the claimed invention, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the invention. Two or more features among the plurality of features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. In addition, the same or similar configurations are given the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations will be omitted.　

<Appearance of Model Toy> First, an example of the external configuration of the model toy 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 shows the front appearance of a model toy 100. Note that the up/down, left/right, and front/back arrows indicate the orientation of the model toy in the figure, and the same applies to other figures.　

A toy model (also referred to as a doll toy or model) 100 includes a head 101, a chest 102, arms 103a, 103b, a waist 104, legs 105a, 105b, and a connecting part 106. The model toy 100 is a movable model toy such as a movable figure, and each part can be moved within a restricted area caused by the relationship with other members. Head 101 is connected to chest 102. An arm portion 103 including a right arm portion 103a and a left arm portion 103b is further connected to the chest 102 by a spherical connecting portion (hereinafter also referred to as a ball joint), and a waist portion 104 is connected at the lower portion. A leg portion 105 including a right leg portion 105a and a left leg portion 105b is connected to the waist portion 104 by a spherical connecting portion. Reference numeral 106 indicates a connecting part for connecting the model toy 100 to a pedestal (also referred to as a stand) not shown.　

<Structure of Leg> Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the structure of the left leg 105b of the toy model 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. The right leg portion 105a has the same configuration as the left leg portion 105b, so a description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 2 shows a detailed configuration of the dotted line portion shown in FIG.　

The left leg 105b includes parts 201 and 202 connected to the waist 104, an upper leg 204, a knee joint 205, a lower leg 206, and a foot 207. The connecting parts 201 and 202 connect the waist 104 and the upper thigh 204. The connecting part 201 is rotatably connected to a spherical connecting part (not shown) provided on the waist part 104, and is further rotatably connected to the connecting part 202 via a cylindrical connecting part. The connecting part 202 is rotatably connected to the upper leg part 204 via a cylindrical connecting part.　

Further, the upper leg 204 and the lower leg 206 are connected by a knee joint 205. The knee joint 205 allows the left leg 105b to fold the upper leg 204 and the lower leg 206 together. A foot portion 207 is further rotatably connected to the lower leg portion 206 . The foot portion 207 is a part including an ankle and a shoe portion. Details of the foot portion 207 will be described later using FIG. 3.　

<Configuration of Foot Section> Next, the detailed configuration of the foot section of the toy model 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3. FIG. 3(a) shows an exploded view of the foot having a joint to the base according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 3(b) shows an exploded view of the foot having an alternative configuration. FIG. 3(a) shows the detailed configuration of the dotted line portion shown in FIG. 2(b).　

As shown in FIG. 3(a), the foot section 207 includes a connecting body 300 and a shoe section 303. The connecting body 300 is configured by combining a first connecting member 301 and a second connecting member 302. The connecting body 300 has a first connection part to the lower leg part 206, a second connection part to the connection part 106 which connects to the base, and a third connection part to the shoe part 303. In this way, the connecting body 300 is incorporated as a part corresponding to the ankle joint of the toy model 100, connects the lower leg part 206 and the shoe part 303, and is connected to the connecting part 106 connected to the base. Further, it is connected to the lower leg portion 206 and the shoe portion 303 so as to be rotatable in the directions of the arrows.　

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the connection portion to the base is incorporated into some parts of the leg portion of the model toy 100. In other words, by forming the connecting portion to the pedestal by integrating with some parts of the leg, connection to the pedestal can be realized with a simpler configuration. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the term "leg" does not include the bottom of the foot, such as the sole of a shoe, which becomes the ground contact surface. This is to prevent the foot from touching the base and making it impossible to achieve a dynamic posture when the connecting body 300 is incorporated into the bottom of the foot. Further, according to the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the connection portion to the pedestal is provided at the ankle, which is a part of the leg, but this is not intended to limit the present invention, and any connection portion may be provided as a part of the leg.　

Moreover, the connecting body 300 is rotatably connected to each part. In accordance with this rotational movement, the second connecting portion to the pedestal also rotates, making it possible to connect the model toy 100 to the pedestal in a wider variety of poses and postures. These connection examples will be described later using FIGS. 5 and 6.　

FIG. 3(b) shows a connector 310, which is an alternative configuration to connector 300. The connecting body 310 has a first connection to the lower leg part 206 and a third connection to the shoe part 303, and does not include a second connection to the connection part 106 that connects to the base. In this way, the model toy 100 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the connecting body 300 and the connecting body 310 are interchangeable, and the model toy 100 has a connection part to the pedestal and the model toy does not have a connection part to the pedestal. Can be switched to model toys.　

<Detailed Configuration of Connecting Body> Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the detailed configuration of the connecting body 300 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 4(a) shows an exploded view of the connector 300. FIG. 4(b) shows a connection configuration between the coupling body 300 and the connection part 106.　

As shown in FIG. 4(a), the connecting body 300 includes a first connecting member 301 and a second connecting member 302. The first connecting member 301 includes a cylindrical first connecting portion 411, a cylindrical second connecting portion 412, and a connecting portion 413 for receiving a fourth connecting portion 421 of the second connecting member 301, which will be described later. Further, the second connecting member 302 includes a cylindrical third connecting portion 422 and a ring-shaped fourth connecting portion 421.　

The first connecting part 411 is rotatably connected to the lower leg part 206. The second connection part 412 is fixedly connected to the connection part 106. The fixing mechanism will be described later. By connecting the connecting portion 413 and the fourth connecting portion 421, the first connecting member 301 and the second connecting member 302 are rotatably connected. Therefore, the second connecting portion 412 can also rotate in the vertical direction of the toy model 100 as the first connecting member 301 and the second connecting member 302 rotate. The third connection part 422 is rotatably connected to the shoe part 303.　

Further, according to the present embodiment, the first connecting portion 411 and the second connecting portion 412 are integrated into the first connecting member 301 and realized as one part. Since the first connecting portion 411 is connected to the lower leg portion 206, the first connecting member 301 directly connects the leg portion and the base. When the toy model 100 is connected to the pedestal, the pedestal and the legs can be fixed by the fixing mechanism of the second connection part 412, which will be described later. If the legs can be fixed, the weight of the toy model 100 can be absorbed, and the holding power for maintaining its posture and pose can be increased. On the other hand, as a comparative example, it is assumed that the second connection member 302 connected to the shoe part 303 is provided with a second connection part. In this case, although the base and the shoe part are fixed, almost all of the weight of the model toy 100 is applied to the ankle joint (for example, the first connecting member), and the ankle joint rotates, causing the posture of the model toy 100. becomes difficult to maintain.　

With reference to FIG. 4(b), the connection configuration and fixing mechanism between the coupling body 300 and the connection part 106 will be described. The second connecting portion 412 of the first connecting member 301 constituting the connecting body 300 is formed in a cylindrical shape. Furthermore, a plurality of protrusions (also referred to as ribs) 414a to 414c are formed on the cylindrical outer periphery of the second connecting portion 412. Although three protrusions are shown in FIG. 4(b), four protrusions are actually formed because they are formed at equal intervals. Note that the number of protrusions is not particularly intended to limit the present invention, and may be any number. As shown in FIG. 4(b), the plurality of protrusions 414a to 414c are located not at the distal end but at the rear end ( (near the center of the connecting body 300).　

On the other hand, the connecting part 106 includes a rod portion 432 and ring-shaped connecting portions 431 and 433 formed at the ends of the rod portion 432, respectively. The connecting portion 433 is connected to the pedestal, and the details will be described later. The connecting portion 431 is formed in a ring shape, and has a cylindrical hole 434 and an octagonal hole 435 that is a rotation stopper. The octagonal hole 435 is not intended to be limited to an octagonal hole, and may have any number of sides as long as it is a polygonal hole, such as a hexagonal hole. The second connecting portion 412 of the coupling body 300 is connected to the connecting portion 431 . At this time, when the second connecting part 412 is inserted deep into the connecting part 431, the plurality of protrusions 414a to 414c formed on the outer periphery of the second connecting part 412 are fitted into the octagonal hole 435. Thereby, the rotation of the connecting body 300 with respect to the connecting part 106 is fixed, and the stability when the model toy 100 is connected to the base can be improved. Further, in this embodiment, since the octagonal hole 435 is used, the second connecting portion 412 can be replaced at 45 degree intervals, and connections can be made at various angles.

<Connection to a pedestal> Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, attachment of the model toy 100 according to the present embodiment to a pedestal will be described. 5 and 6 show how the humanoid model toy 100 is connected to the pedestal 500 while running. In each figure, the detailed structure of the dotted line area is illustrated in an enlarged manner.　

The pedestal 500 includes a base 501 and a plurality of connection holes 503a to 503e formed on the surface of the base 501. The base 501 and the connecting parts 106, 502 can be connected by parts (not shown) having protrusions provided in the connecting holes 503a to 503e. The connecting part can be connected to other connecting parts and its length can be adjusted. Therefore, in addition to the connecting part 106, another connecting part 502 may be connected to the pedestal 500 as shown in FIG. 5, or the connecting part 106 may be directly connected to the pedestal 500 as shown in FIG. It's okay. Note that the connecting part 106 may be formed integrally with the base 501, and the base 501 itself may be provided with a connecting portion 431 that connects to the coupling body 300. However, by forming the connecting part 106 so that it can be attached to and detached from the base 501, it is possible to configure the connecting part 433 to be rotatable, which is preferable because it allows for more diverse poses of the model toy.　

As shown in the enlarged area of FIG. 5, the second connecting portion 412 of the first connecting member 301 protrudes toward the front of the toy model 100. On the other hand, as shown in the enlarged area of FIG. 6, the second connecting portion 412 protrudes toward the right of the toy model 100. This is because the connecting body 300 is rotatably connected to the lower leg part 206 and the shoe part 303 by the first connecting part 411 and the third connecting part 422, respectively, and as they rotate, the second connecting part 412 This is because it can rotate around the ankle. Further, the connecting part may be connected to any of the plurality of connecting holes 503a to 503e. With such a configuration, the model toy 100 can be connected to the base 500 at various angles and positions.　

Further, according to the present embodiment, the second connecting portion 412 connected to the base 500 is provided as a part of the leg of the toy model 100, particularly as a part of the ankle. Thereby, the model toy 100 can be connected to the base 500 while maintaining a dynamic posture. For example, as a comparative example, assume that a connection part to the base 500 is provided at the bottom of the shoe part 303. In this case, the feet are held in contact with the base 501. With such a connection, it is not possible to realize a dynamic posture as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, such as a running posture. In this embodiment, an example in which the second connecting portion is provided at the ankle position has been described, but the second connecting portion may be installed at any position as long as it is a part of the leg. However, the higher the leg position is, the fewer variations in posture occur and the number of parts connected to the pedestal increases, which affects the appearance, so it is desirable to position it as low as possible. That is, it is desirable that the second connecting portion be provided at a position as low as possible in a part of the leg that does not include the bottom of the foot such as the shoe.　

As explained above, the model toy according to the present embodiment includes a first part, a second part, a first connecting part that connects to the first part, and a second connecting part that connects to the pedestal on which the model toy is attached. and a connecting body having a third connecting portion connected to the second part. Moreover, the connecting body is incorporated into a part of the leg part of the model toy that does not include the bottom part of the leg part. This makes it possible to provide a mechanism for attaching the model toy to the pedestal while maintaining a dynamic posture.　

<Modifications> The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the gist of the invention. For example, the shape of the toy model is not particularly limited, and includes various shapes such as humans, animals, robots, insects, and dinosaurs.
