Abstract: An illuminating toy figure for use with a conductive surface and an energy source is disclosed. The toy figure includes a structure having means for securing a battery and a first and second terminal, a light source having a third and fourth terminals, a first and second appendages, and a circuit. The circuit provides for an arrangement where the first, second, third and fourth terminals are connected to a first and second conductive plates located in the first and second appendages, respectively, such that when the first and second conductive plates are in electrical contact via the conductive surface, the light source is illuminated. The toy figure further includes magnetic properties in order to adhere to metal surfaces and a plastic structure embodying humanoid qualities.
