Abstract: A toy assembly is disclosed having nestable figures made of polyresin or other suitable material in which some of the nestable figures are separable into at least two parts. The parts on at least some of the figures are aligned and held together by various devices. The exterior surfaces of the nestable figures include a representations of an object or objects that are formed by raised relief and life-like three-dimensional portions relative to the surface. The nestable figures form a set in which each figure of the set has the same or different ratio of cross-sectional dimensions and the same or different ratio of cross-sectional dimensions for the representation on the figure.

Abstract: A baseball bat article includes a baseball bat, a glossy finish coating material and an image-carrying transfer element. The baseball bat has a grip portion, a barrel portion and an intermediate portion interposed between the grip portion and the barrel portion. The baseball bat extends along a central axis to define a bat length. The glossy finish coating material is applied to the baseball bat to form a glossy finish, at least along the bat length. The image-carrying transfer element is fabricated from a transparent sheet material. Further, the image-carrying transfer element is defined by an outer periphery and has a first surface and an opposite second surface with a photographic image formed on either the first or second surface. The image-carrying transfer element is imperceptibly affixed to the baseball bat at a selected location along the bat length with either the first or second surface in contact with the baseball bat.
