Abstract: Described is a remotely controllable inflatable system. The system includes a base having at least one blower and at least one remotely controllable drive wheel. Notably, an inflatable form is connected with and sealed against the base. Activating the at least one blower causes the inflatable form to inflate. A user can then use a remote-control transmitter to cause the base with inflatable form to drive upon a ground surface.

Abstract: An electronic game device including a first sensor section hingedly connected to a second sensor section. One or more proximity sensors and one or more output devices are operatively connected to the sensor sections by circuitry. The first sensor section and the second sensor section each include a sensor space such that placement of an object in the sensor space of the associated sensor section may actuate the one or more proximity sensors of that sensor section. The circuitry is configured to determine whether the proximity sensors are actuated and to emit an output signal. Hinges allow the game device to be folded from a linear game orientation, to a multi-dimensional game orientation, and to a bi-linear game orientation.

Abstract: An interactive toy doll is provided having a torso defining a front portion and a back portion. The doll may additionally include legs extending from a lower portion of the torso, an image sensor located on the front portion of the torso, and an image display located on the back portion of the torso. The doll may further include a processor operatively connected to the image sensor and the image display. Additionally, the doll may include legs that may be grasped by a user while leaving the image sensor and the image display exposed so that a user may view an image on the image display while grasping the legs.

Abstract: An electronic memory game system including a base unit, a plurality of triggers disposed on the base unit, a housing mounted to the base unit and extending over a portion of the base unit, a plurality of illumination devices disposed on the housing for displaying a memory challenge sequence, wherein the plurality of triggers are actuated to generate a memory response sequence to the memory challenge sequence, and/or a wireless communication device configured to communicate with a remote wireless communication device.

Abstract: A video toy is provided with a video screen and multiple selectable dioramas positioned behind the video screen. The dioramas may be fixed to a shaft so that rotation of a handle of the shaft moves a first diorama to a position behind the screen and visible through the screen. Rotating the handle and shaft again may sequentially move a second diorama to a position behind the screen replacing the first diorama. The video toy may display characters and objects on the screen that engage in activities and appear to interact with objects in the diorama visible through the video display. Virtual characters may be programmed to exhibit development and modify their activities and interactions with the player based on type and frequency of inputs. The video toy may respond to signals from a computer by accessing additional game play modes or options.

Abstract: Electronic toys and methods of interacting with electronic toys are provided, in which the electronic toys include a body defining an interior and an opening into the interior plus a prize removably located in the interior and accessible through the opening. A controller is configured to: make the prize inaccessible through the opening; output instructions to make the prize accessible; receive input in response to the instructions; determine whether the input satisfies a predetermined criterion; and make the prize accessible again through the opening when the input satisfies the predetermined criterion.

Abstract: A fighting figure game may include a base, a first figure, and a second figure. The first figure may include a body selectively movable relative to the base and a head configured to move upwardly away from the body of the first figure in response to an impact to the first figure. The second figure may include a body selectively movable relative to the base and a head configured to pivot relative to the body of the second figure in response to an impact to the second figure.

Abstract: Various embodiments of an action figure battle game including figures with movement mechanisms are disclosed.

Abstract: A fighting figure game may include a base, a first figure, and a second figure. The first figure may include a body selectively movable relative to the base and a head configured to move upwardly away from the body of the first figure in response to an impact to the first figure. The second figure may include a body selectively movable relative to the base and a head configured to pivot relative to the body of the second figure in response to an impact to the second figure.

Abstract: A board game that incorporates a playing surface and movable game pieces. In some embodiments the game pieces include a character portion and a movement portion. The character portions may be interchangeable with the movement portions. In some methods of game play, players maneuver their game pieces between regions of the board to attain points.

Abstract: Toy top kits may include a spindle having a lower end configured to engage a surface, an upper end having a first coupling portion, and a plurality of mounting sites, one or more weight members each configured to be removably mounted to a mounting site, and one or more caps each having a top surface, a bottom surface, configuration indicia, and a second coupling portion adapted to releasably engage the first coupling portion. Tops may be assembled by engaging a randomly selected cap with the upper end of a spindle and mounting weight members to the spindle according to the configuration indicia of the selected cap. Assembled tops may be spun simultaneously on a play surface, and the score corresponding to the top that remains spinning longest may be incremented.
