Stackable Humanoid Toy

Abstract

A stackable humanoid toy for children's play is comprised of a single molded plastic humanoid body with four fixed limbs. A pair of arms extend from a torso and are positioned in a raised upright position with the hands formed as spherical balls. A pair of flexed legs extend beneath the torso and terminate into spherical shaped feet having socket openings on their bottom surface. The foot sockets are dimensioned to frictionally mate with the spherical hands. The pair of hands and pair of feet are further horizontally equally spaced from each other. Thus one humanoid toy may be stackably linked to another by putting a hand into a foot, or a pair of hands into a pair of feet. The ball/socket joints allow for limited rotation so that one humanoid can be rotated relative to its coupling partner.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A humanoid toy for children's play comprising:
 a torso having limbs including at least one arm and at least one leg, both said limbs extending there from;   said at least one arm terminating in a spherical ball hand; and   said at least one leg terminating in a spherical shaped foot.   
     
     
         2 . A humanoid toy as in  claim 1  and further comprising
 a socket located in said spherical shaped foot for frictionally receiving a spherical ball hand; 
 whereby a first humanoid toy may be stackably linked to a second humanoid toy by frictionally coupling a spherical ball hand of the first humanoid toy into a socket of the second humanoid toy. 
 
     
     
         3 . A humanoid toy for children's play comprising comprising:
 a torso having a pair of arms and a pair of legs, both pairs extending there from;   each said arm terminating in a spherical ball hand; and   each said leg terminating in a spherical shaped foot having within each said foot a socket for receiving a spherical ball hand.
