1. A deformable toy comprising:
- a first body segment constructed from an elastically deformable material; and
a second body segment operatively coupled to the first body segment, wherein a movable first appendage is mounted to one of the first and second body segments and a movable second appendage is mounted to the other of the first and second body segments, the first appendage adapted to be placed in a user-defined position and drive movement of the second appendage when the user-defined position of the first appendage is altered, wherein movement of the second appendage alternately conceals and reveals a portion of the first body segment or the second body segment.

Abstract
Motion responsive toys having deformable body segments. The toy includes a first body segment constructed from elastically deformable materials and a second body segment operatively coupled to the first body segment. In some embodiments, movable appendages are mounted to the body segments, with one appendage adapted to drive the motion of the other.

7. A toy figure that is transformable between first and second configurations, the toy figure comprising:
-
a body segment made of a resiliently deformable material;
a plurality of appendages coupled to the body segment and adapted to move from a first configuration to a second configuration by extending away from the body segment in response to deformation of the body segment, wherein at least a portion of the appendage remains extended from the body segment after the body segment has returned to its undeformed state;
a sensor adapted to sense deformation of the body segment; and
a sound generator operatively coupled to the sensor and thereby adapted to emit sound upon deformation of the body segment. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
