Joinable figure toy

Abstract

To provide a joinable figure toy having a high degree of freedom in building, a joinable figure toy includes a trunk part, left and right arm parts and left and right leg parts. A spherical portion is formed at a hand portion of each of the arm parts, and a receptacle portion configured to be joined with the spherical portion trough ball-and-socket joint is formed on a foot portion of each of the leg parts. The arm parts and the leg parts are provided rotatably on the trunk part. In addition, the joinable figure toy can be formed into a shape mimicking a character.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A joinable figure toy comprising a trunk part, left and right arm parts and left and right leg parts,
 wherein a spherical portion is formed at a hand portion of each of the arm parts,   wherein a receptacle portion is formed on a foot portion of each of the leg parts, the receptacle portion being able to be joined with the spherical portion through ball-and-socket joint,   wherein a first notched portion is formed at a distal end side of each of the spherical portions,   wherein a pair of second notched portions are disposed in an opening edge of each of the receptacle portions, the pair of second notched portions being opposite to each other,   wherein the left and right arm parts are coupled together by a first transverse shaft inserted rotatably through the trunk part, and   wherein the left and right leg parts are coupled together by a second transverse shaft inserted rotatably through the trunk part below the first transverse shaft, the first transverse shaft and the second transverse shaft being disposed parallel to each other.   
     
     
         2 . The joinable figure toy according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the first notched portion and the second notched portions are formed in a front-rear direction, allowing opening positions at a front end and a rear end of the first notched portion to overlap opening positions of the second notched portions, the opening positions being opposite to each other, when seen in a bottom view.   
     
     
         3 . The joinable figure toy according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the second notched portion has a bottom portion disposed at the same height as a center portion of the receptacle portion,   wherein a rotational radius of the spherical portion at its center position is identical to a rotational radius of the receptacle portion at its center position,   wherein a first non-interferential portion is formed outwards of each of the left and right leg parts, and   wherein a second non-interferential portion is formed between the left and right leg parts.
