Abstract: A transformable toy is reversibly transformed from/to a first form to/from a second form with a user operation. Rotational parts are attached to a base part, rotate on a shaft and are biased in a direction for the second form. An engagement part is attached to a movable part attached to the base part, reciprocating in a direction parallel to the shaft and biased in a separating direction from the base part. When the movable part is operated in an approaching direction to the base part, the engagement part rotates the rotational parts to engage therewith at a position for the first form and stop and a locking mechanism locks the movable part. When at least a portion of the locked movable part is operated, the locking mechanism unlocks the movable part and the engagement part disengages from the rotational parts.
