Abstract: The invention is a modular pop-up purse shell, with an optional insert, wherein a rectangular swatch of material is removably attached to the purse shell to create a customized purse.

Abstract: A figurine and play set having an ultraviolet reveal feature is described. The figurine is formed to depict a first state. A reveal pigment is applied to the figurine. The reveal pigment is transparent when in the first state. Importantly, the reveal pigment is applied to the figurine in a shape to depict a second state such that when the reveal pigment is exposed to ultraviolet light, the reveal pigment fluoresces to depict the second state, and when the ultraviolet light is removed from the reveal pigment, the reveal pigment immediately ceases fluorescing and returns to the first state. A reveal pigment can also be applied to a coordinating play set item to reveal features that are otherwise invisible prior to exposure of ultraviolet light.

Abstract: Provided is an edible chew toy including a first toy member and a second toy member configured to be moveably engaged with each other. The first and second toy members may be configured to pivot and/or translate relative to each other to captivate a pet. In this regard, the toy members may move relative to each other as the pet gnaws on the toy, swipes at the toy with his paws, or lifts the toy in a manner to cause gravitational movement. The chew toy may be formed from 100% consumable material to allow the pet to easily digest the chew toy as it is chewed.

Abstract: A rotatable core is described. The core includes a cylindrically-shaped housing having an indentation area. The indentation area is formed to guide a user where to place their finger for launching, such that by pressing down on the indentation area, the core is forced against a ground surface, which causes it to spin away from the user. Additionally, the core includes a housing with a cavity therein for receiving the object. A release mechanism is attached with the housing. The release mechanism includes a connector for connecting with a corresponding connector on the object and an expelling mechanism for expelling the object. Upon activation of the release mechanism, the connector releases the object and the expelling mechanism forces the object from the housing.

Abstract: A mobile toy and a stunt figure attachable with the mobile toy are described. In a desired aspect, the mobile toy is a skateboard-shaped toy having a skateboard deck with a flywheel positioned within the skateboard deck. The stunt figure is detachably attachable with the skateboard-shaped toy through snap-fit connection mechanisms on the skateboard-shaped toy. In a desired aspect, the stunt figure comprises at least one appendage and the stunt figure is attached with the skateboard-shaped toy through at least one appendage. The stunt figure can be formed in a variety of shapes to alter the form and center of gravity of the toy to provide for a variety of stunts.

Abstract: Described is a cartridge-loaded toy vehicle launcher track set capable of launching multiple toy vehicles across a variety of tracks. The launcher includes a cartridge for holding a plurality of toy vehicles. A launching mechanism is affixed with a launching body of the launcher for receiving a toy vehicle from the cartridge and launching the toy vehicle from the launching body. Additionally, a track connector is connected with the launching body such that a toy vehicle can be launched from the housing and onto the toy vehicle track when the track is connected with the track connector. In one aspect, a string spool is connected with the launching body such that a toy vehicle can be launched from the housing and onto a string when the string is pulled taut in front of the housing.

Abstract: A manually powered spinning toy is described. The spinning toy includes a core having two ends. The core and ends are formed in a suitable shape to allow the toy to spin, such that a user can position one of the user's fingers against one of the ends and, by pushing down on the end, the end is forced down and ultimately away from the user's finger, thereby causing the toy to spin.

Abstract: A string dispenser kit is described. The string dispenser kit includes a string dispenser and a peg board. The string dispenser is formed as a string pen having a string storing element, an elongated barrel, and a tip element. The string pen is formed to store string and dispense string through the elongated barrel and from the tip element of the string dispenser. An adhesive substance is contained in the elongated barrel to douse the string. The peg board has a first plate with pegs and a second plate with corresponding holes. The second plate is formed to be positioned over the first plate. Once the string is positioned over the pegs in a desired form and the adhesive substance is dry, the second plate can be removed from the first plate to pull the string from the pegs and maintain the string in the desired form.
