       2 . The toy of  claim 1 , where the body remains coupled to the first assembly throughout transformation between the boarding configuration and the vehicle configuration.  
   
   
       3 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the first assembly serves as a leg in the boarding configuration and a vehicle quarter panel in the vehicle configuration.  
   
   
       4 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the first assembly serves as a leg in the boarding configuration and a rear vehicle quarter panel in the vehicle configuration.  
   
   
       5 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the first assembly includes a first portion and a second portion coupled to each other by a knee joint that enables rotation of the first portion relative to the second portion, and wherein the second portion is coupled to the body by a hip joint that enables rotation of the second portion relative to the body.  
   
   
       6 . The toy of  claim 5 , wherein the first portion is rotated relative to the second portion about a first axis of rotation, and the second portion is rotated relative to the body about a second axis of rotation when reconfiguring the toy between the boarding configuration and the vehicle configuration.  
   
   
       7 . The toy of  claim 6 , wherein the first axis of rotation is parallel to the second axis of rotation.  
   
   
       8 . The toy of  claim 5 , wherein the first portion is substantially adjacent and parallel the second portion in the vehicle configuration, and wherein the first portion and the second portion are substantially extended in the boarding configuration.  
   
   
       9 . The toy of  claim 5 , further comprising a wheel coupled to the first assembly at the knee joint, wherein the wheel and the knee joint share a common axis of rotation.  
   
   
       10 . The toy of  claim 1 , further comprising a board joint pivotably coupled to the sports board about a first pivoting axis and pivotably coupled to the first assembly about a second pivoting axis, different than the first pivoting axis.  
   
   
       11 . The toy of  claim 10 , wherein the first pivoting axis is substantially perpendicular to the second pivoting axis.  
   
   
       12 . The toy of  claim 1 , further comprising a first wheel coupled to the first assembly.  
   
   
       13 . The toy of  claim 12 , further comprising a second, a third, and a fourth assembly, and a second, a third, and a fourth wheel respectively coupled to the second, the third, and the fourth assemblies, wherein each of the first, the second, the third, and the fourth assemblies serves as an appendage in the boarding configuration and wherein the rolling surfaces of the first, the second, the third, and the fourth wheels are substantially planar in the vehicle configuration.  
   
   
       14 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the sport board is spaced away from the body in the boarding configuration and wherein the sport board is substantially adjacent the body in the vehicle configuration.  
   
   
       15 . The toy of  claim 1 , where the first assembly is releasably coupled to the body.  
   
   
       16 . The toy of  claim 1 , further comprising an actuator configured to uncouple the first assembly from the body upon actuation of the actuator.  
   
   
       17 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the sport board is configured to move relative to the first assembly when attached to the first assembly.  
   
   
       19 . A toy, comprising: 
 a body;    a first assembly moveably coupled to the body;    a sport board moveably coupled to the first assembly; and    a trigger configured to selectively decouple the first assembly from the body.    
   
   
       20 . The toy of  claim 19 , wherein the first assembly is a leg.  
   
   
       21 . The toy of  claim 19 , wherein the sport board is one of a surfing board, a snow board, a water board, and a skate board.  
   
   
       22 . The toy of  claim 19 , wherein the body is selectively transformable between a boarding configuration and a vehicle configuration wherein the trigger is actuable in both the boarding configuration and the vehicle configuration.  
   
   
       23 . A toy power suit, comprising: 
 a frame corresponding to the shape of a humanoid figure;    a cockpit on the frame configured to receive a humanoid-shaped pilot; and    a sport board coupled to the frame.    
   
   
       24 . The toy of  claim 23 , where the sport board includes one of a surfing board, a snow board, a water board, and a skate board.  
   
   
       25 . The toy power suit of  claim 23 , wherein sport board is removably coupled to the body.  
   
   
       26 . The toy power suit of  claim 23 , wherein the frame may be selectively coupled in at least two orientations on the board.  
   
   
       27 . The toy power suit of  claim 26 , wherein at least one orientation simulates surfer activity.  
   
   
       28 . The toy power suit of  claim 23 , wherein the frame is transformable to a vehicle.
