Removable posable bendable toy

Abstract

An over-molded removable posable bendable toy system may have at least two end components anchored to the ends of a posable component. The over-molded removable posable bendable toy system may also have one or more body components movably engaged to the posable component to permit movement of the one or more body components between the at least two end components. An exemplary removable posable bendable toy may be removed from one toy and used in any other toy.

1 . A removable posable bendable toy, comprising:
 a posable component having a length, the length of the posable component comprising a first terminus and a second terminus;   a first end component molded about the first terminus and coupled to the posable component; and   a second end component molded about the second terminus and coupled to the posable component so that a portion of the length of the posable component between the first end component and the second end component is exposed through the removable posable bendable toy.   
     
     
         2 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 1 , wherein a coupling portion along the length of the posable component that is coupled within the first end component or the second end components comprises a bent portion, a crushed portion, a deformed portion, a twist, an orifice, or combinations of the same. 
     
     
         3 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 1 , wherein a body component is coupled to the posable component between the first end component and the second end component so that the body component can rotate and translate about the length of the posable component between the first end component and the second end component. 
     
     
         4 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 3 , wherein a coupling portion along the length of the posable component that is coupled within the first end component or the second end components comprises a bent portion, a crushed portion, a deformed portion, a twist, an orifice, or combinations of the same. 
     
     
         5 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 2 , wherein the coupling portion is the deformed portion. 
     
     
         6 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 5 , wherein the deformed portion is either the first terminus or the second terminus. 
     
     
         7 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 4 , wherein the coupling portion is the deformed portion. 
     
     
         8 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 7 , wherein the deformed portion is either the first terminus or the second terminus. 
     
     
         9 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 1 , wherein the first end component or the second end component is configured to frictionally fit within an opening in a snap-fit interconnecting building block. 
     
     
         10 . A removable posable bendable toy, comprising:
 a posable wire having a first terminus and a second terminus;   a first end component molded about the first terminus to fixedly couple the first end component to the posable wire;   a second end component molded about the second terminus to fixedly couple the second end component to the posable wire, the second end component being spaced away from the first end component by a fixed length of the posable wire; and   at least one body component movably molded about a length of the posable wire between the first end component and the second end component, wherein each of the at least one body component either abuts any other component in the removable posable bendable toy or is spaced away from any other component in the removable posable bendable toy by a variable length of the posable wire.   
     
     
         11 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 10 , wherein either the first terminus or the second terminus has a bent portion, a crushed portion, a deformed portion, a twist, an orifice, or combinations of the same at or near its location. 
     
     
         12 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 11 , wherein the bent portion, the crushed portion, the deformed portion, the twist, or the orifice is either the first terminus or the second terminus. 
     
     
         13 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 12 , wherein the first end component, the second end component, or the at least one body component is configured to frictionally fit within an opening in a snap-fit interconnecting building block. 
     
     
         14 . The removable posable bendable toy of  claim 13 , wherein the first end component, the second end component, and the at least one body component is each configured to frictionally fit within an opening in a snap-fit interconnecting building block. 
     
     
         15 . A kit for constructing a toy comprising the removable posable bendable toy of  claim 1  and at least one other toy. 
     
     
         16 . The kit of  claim 15 , further comprising a plurality of the removable posable bendable toys of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         17 . A toy construction formed using the kit of  claim 15 . 
     
     
         18 . A kit for constructing a toy comprising the removable posable bendable toy of  claim 10  and at least one other toy. 
     
     
         19 . The kit of  claim 18  further comprising a plurality of the removable posable bendable toys of  claim 10 . 
     
     
         20 . A toy construction formed using the kit of  claim 18 .
