Action toy and movable member

Abstract

An action toy includes a toy body including four mounting units, four function switches removably mounted to the four mounting units, detection means disposed in the toy body, where the detection means detects that each of the function switches is mounted to one of the mounting units, a dramatic effect unit disposed in the toy body, where the dramatic effect unit creates a dramatic effect using light or sound, and a control unit disposed in the toy body. When the detection means detects that one of the function switch is attached to the toy body, the control unit causes the dramatic effect unit to create a first dramatic effect. When a push button unit is operated, the control unit causes the dramatic effect unit to create a second dramatic effect.
