1. A playset, comprising:
- a support surface;
a pop-up structure coupled to the support surface and adapted to be selectively transitioned between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration, where in the stowed configuration the pop-up structure is collapsed and extends along the support surface, and in the deployed configuration the pop-up structure stands substantially transverse to the support surface, the pop-up structure comprising first and second members hingedly coupled to the support surface, wherein;
the first member is configured to pivot about a first hinge axis when the pop-up structure is transitioned between the stowed configuration and the deployed configuration;
the second member is configured to pivot about a second hinge axis when the pop-up structure is transitioned between the stowed configuration and the deployed configuration; and
the pop-up structure is configured to allow the second member to be selectively rotated relative to the support surface about a rotation axis that is transverse to the support surface.

Abstract
Playsets are disclosed. The playsets may include a support surface and a pop-up structure. The pop-up structure may be adapted to be selectively transitioned between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. In the stowed configuration the pop-up structure may be collapsed and may extend along the support surface. In the deployed configuration the pop-up structure may stand substantially transverse to the support surface.

9. A playset, comprising:
-
a shell having first and second shell members, the first shell member having a first interior surface, the second shell member having a second interior surface, the shell members being adapted to be transitioned between a closed configuration and an open configuration, where in the dosed configuration the first and second interior surfaces are facing each other, and in the open configuration the shell members are spaced apart; at least one mount disposed on at least one of the first and second interior surfaces; at least one projectile; a projectile launcher, wherein the projectile launcher is configured to be retained by the at least one mount, and the projectile launcher is configured to receive, retain and selectively ballistically project the at least one projectile; and a pop-up structure that extends transversely from at least one of the first and second interior surfaces when the shell members are positioned in the open configuration, the pop-up structure including a plurality of elements adapted to be transitioned between a stowed configuration and an erect configuration when the shell members are transitioned between the closed configuration and the open configuration, where in the stowed configuration the plurality of elements are disposed between the shell members, and in the erect configuration the plurality of elements extend generally transversely from the at least one of the first and second interior surfaces. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A playset, comprising:
-
a support surface; a pop-up structure coupled to the support surface and adapted to be selectively transitioned between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration, where in the stowed configuration the pop-up structure is collapsed and extends along the support surface, and in the deployed configuration the pop-up structure stands substantially transverse to the support surface, the pop-up structure comprising; a first member hingedly coupled to the support surface, wherein the first member extends along the support surface when the pop-up structure is in the stowed configuration, and the first member extends transversely from the support surface when the pop-up structure is in the deployed configuration; and a second member hingedly coupled to the first member, wherein the second member includes a first surface, the first surface extends along the first member when the pop-up structure is in the stowed configuration, and the first surface is spaced from and parallel to the support surface when the pop-up structure is in the deployed configuration; and a movable platform coupled to the support surface independently of the pop-up structure and adapted to be selectively transitioned between a first position proximate the support surface and a second position spaced from the support surface, wherein the movable platform includes a second surface, in the first position at least a first portion of the second surface may be disposed proximate the support surface, and in the second position at least a second portion of the second surface may be disposed proximate the first surface. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
