Reversible toy

Abstract

A reversible toy comprising a first figure and a second figure, each figure comprising a hollow body portion with a upper portion and a base portion and each figure having a conically shaped hollow and a shared base portion. The toy is reversible between a first position and a second position by turning it inside out via the shared base portion such that one of the figures is substantially concealed when the other is visible.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A toy comprising:
 a first figure configured to form part of a reversible toy, the figure comprising:   a substantially hollow body portion with an upper portion and a base portion, the hollow including a substantially conical shape, such that the upper portion is narrower than the base, and   a fastener on a base perimeter of the the base portion configured to fasten the figure to a base portion of a second figure to form the reversible toy.   
     
     
         2 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the second figure configured to form part of a reversible toy comprises:
 a second substantially hollow body portion with a second upper portion and a second base portion,   the hollow of the second figure including a substantially conical shape, such that the second upper portion is narrower than the second base portion.   
     
     
         3 . The toy of  claim 2 , wherein:
 in a first position the upper portion and the body portion of the first figure is configured to collapse and fit inside the hollow of the body portion of the second figure such that the first figure is substantially concealed while the second figure is visible;   in a second position the upper portion and body portion of the second figure is configured to collapse and fit inside the hollow of the body portion of the first figure such that the second figure is substantially concealed while the first figure is visible,   the toy being reversible between first position and second position by turning it inside out via the shared base portion.   
     
     
         4 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the fastener on the base perimeter of the first figure includes one or more of stitching, snaps, magnets, or hook and loop connectors. 
     
     
         5 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the first figure comprises appendages, facial feature elements, or other attachments. 
     
     
         6 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the first figure comprises an inner lining. 
     
     
         7 . The toy of  claim 1 , the first figure further comprising a stiffener disposed along at least part of the base portion. 
     
     
         8 . The toy of  claim 7 , wherein the stiffener comprises a grab ring. 
     
     
         9 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the fastener is configured to detachably fasten the base of the first figure to the base of the second figure. 
     
     
         10 . The reversible toy  claim 9 , wherein the first figure is interchangeable with one or more other figures. 
     
     
         11 . The toy of  claim 1 , wherein the first figure comprises a head portion at the end of the upper portion, and the head portion includes a stuffing material. 
     
     
         12 . A reversible toy comprising:
 a first figure and a second figure, each figure comprising a hollow body portion with a upper portion and a base portion,   the hollow of each figure having a conical shape, such that the upper portion is narrower than the base portion;   the base portion of the first figure being attached to the base of the second figure to form a shared base portion.   
     
     
         13 . The toy of  claim 12 , wherein:
 in a first position the upper portion and the body portion of the first figure is configured to collapse and fit inside the hollow of the body portion of the second figure such that the first figure is substantially concealed while the second figure is visible;   in a second position the upper portion and body portion of the second figure is configured to collapse and fit inside the hollow of the body portion of the first figure such that the second figure is substantially concealed while the first figure is visible,   the toy being reversible between first position and second position by turning it inside out via the shared base portion.   
     
     
         14 . The toy of  claim 12 , wherein at least one figure comprises appendages, facial feature elements, or other attachments. 
     
     
         15 . The toy of  claim 12 , wherein at least one figure comprises an inner lining. 
     
     
         16 . The toy of  claim 12 , further comprising a stiffener disposed along at least part of the shared base portion. 
     
     
         17 . The toy of  claim 12 , wherein the base of the first figure is detachable from the base of the second figure. 
     
     
         18 . The reversible toy  claim 17 , wherein the first and second figures are interchangeable with one or more other figures. 
     
     
         19 . The toy of  claim 12 , wherein at least one figure comprises a head portion at the end of the upper portion, arid the head portion includes a stuffing material. 
     
     
         20 . The toy of  claim 12  wherein the first and second figures are different dimensions.
