Abstract: A plush toy having a body, removable features, a zippered pocket for storing the removable features, and a tail. The tail may be retracted into the zippered pocket through holes in the body of the toy leaving only a small portion of the tail external to the body or may be extended from the body. The tip of the tail has a clip that may be connected to a receiving member on the exterior of the body such that the extended tail clipped to the body forms a pair of backpack straps.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, the present invention is a plush toy having a body, a first pocket, a second pocket, and an extendable member that may be positioned as a necklace, a headband or a strap. The extendable member may be retracted into one of the pockets through a hole or holes in the body of the toy leaving only a small portion of the extendable member external to the body or may be extended from the body. When retracted, the extendable member may be positioned, for example, as a necklace or a headband.

Abstract: A toy with a frame assembly having a plurality of frame members each having a gear and centering aperture. Each gear has a plurality of rounded tetrahedral teeth. A flexible fastener connects the first and second frame members together with their gears in alignment with one another. The flexible fastener applies a force to the first and second gears to releasably engage said first and second gears with one another.

Abstract: This method of interconnection utilizes aesthetic features of the toy itself to alloy interconnection in a safe and secure way, without the use of snaps and pins that can cause a safety hazard to young children. The proposed method also allows for interconnection of multiple toys to create a toy chain as well as an adapter that allows for toys that embody this feature to be connected to clothing, back packs, shoes as an accessory. By extension of this basic interconnection method, any two or more objects can be connected this same way.
