Abstract: A toy apparatus includes a body portion including a mesh component formed of a plurality of loop structures, each loop structure defining a loop opening, and at least one non-mesh component or accessory connected to the mesh component of the body to allow articulation of the non-mesh component with respect to the mesh component of the body.

Abstract: A toy building construction set has a plurality of molded support components. The three main types of support components include a column, a beam and a base. Each column includes a protrusion on one end to be accepted into a corresponding aperture in a base or underlying column. Each beam includes protrusions on each end adapted to be releasably received into corresponding slots located atop the columns. Each beam also includes panel-receiving prongs along the length of the beam to accommodate building panels. The building panels may have printing on one or both sides so as to appear as the exterior of a building, the interior of a building, or a combination thereof.
