 a first body;   a second body configured to be separably coupled with, and at least partially in contact with, the first body; and   a connector configured to fixedly support the first body and the second body when the first body and the second body are positioned to form an angle with respect to each other.   
     
     
         22 . The block toy of  claim 21 , wherein the connector is made of a spherical magnetic material, and at least one of the first body or the second body comprises a magnet that forms a magnetic field with the connector. 
     
     
         23 . The block toy of  claim 21 , wherein the first body comprises:
 a first body coupling portion coupled to the second body; and   a guide portion on which a portion of the connector is mounted.   
     
     
         24 . The block toy of  claim 23 , wherein the first body further comprises a flange formed to be in contact with a portion of the connector seated in the guide portion. 
     
     
         25 . The block toy of  claim 21 , wherein the second body comprises:
 a second body coupling portion configured to be coupled to the first body;   a seating groove provided inside the second body coupling portion to allow a portion of the connector penetrating the first body to be seated therein; and   a magnet provided in the seating groove to form a magnetic attraction with the connector.   
     
     
         26 . The block toy of  claim 22 , wherein the connector is installed at one end of the first body and the second body is installed at an opposite end from the one end of the first body. 
     
     
         27 . A block toy comprising:
 a first body comprising, at one end, a first body coupling portion to which a second body is configured to be rotatably connected via a connector, wherein:
 the first body coupling portion is configured to support the second body in a fixed position; 
 the second body comprises, on one end, a second body coupling portion configured to:
 be coupled with either the first body or the first body coupling portion; 
 be rotatably coupled to the first body via the connector; and 
 support the first body or the first body coupling portion in a fixed position, the fixed position comprising an angle formed between the first body and the second body; and 
 
   the connector is configured to be detachably installed in a portion of the first body and in a portion of the second body.   
     
     
         28 . The block toy of  claim 27 , wherein
 each of the first body and the second body further comprises a contact pad configured to increase frictional force with the connector.   
     
     
         29 . The block toy of  claim 28 , wherein a magnet is slidably installed in the first body and the second body. 
     
     
         30 . The block toy of  claim 29 , wherein, when the magnet forms a magnetic field with the connector and is attached to the connector in a state of protruding to one end of the first body, the second body and the connector are disposed at a distance from an inner surface of the first body and are coupled to be freely rotatable. 
     
     
         31 . The block toy of  claim 30 , wherein, when the magnet is attached to the connector in a state of being accommodated inside the first body, the second body and the connector come into contact with the inner surface of the first body, such that a shape of the block toy is maintained or fixed through friction caused by pressure. 
     
     
         32 . The block toy of  claim 30 , wherein, when the magnet is attached to the connector in a state of being accommodated inside the first body, the second body and the connector come into contact with the inner surface of the first body to be limited in a rotation range or to be fixed at an angle. 
     
     
         33 . The block toy of  claim 27 , wherein the first body coupling portion comprises a plurality of second body fixing portions provided at an interval to be coupled with at least a portion of the second body coupling portion to fix the second body at an angle. 
     
     
         34 . The block toy of  claim 27 , wherein the first body coupling portion is coupled to be rotatable around a longitudinal rotation axis of the first body. 
     
     
         35 . The block toy of  claim 34 , wherein the first body coupling portion further comprises a first body fixing portion coupled to the first body to limit a rotation range of the first body. 
     
     
         36 . The block toy of  claim 27 , wherein the second body coupling portion comprises at least one second body fixing portion coupled to either the first body or the first body coupling portion. 
     
     
         37 . The block toy of  claim 29 , wherein, when the magnet forms a magnetic field with the connector and is attached to the connector in a state of protruding to one end of the second body, the second body and the connector come into contact with an inner surface of the first body to be limited in a rotation range or to be fixed at an angle. 
     
     
         38 . The block toy of  claim 37 , wherein, when the magnet is attached to the connector in a state of being accommodated inside the second body, the second body and the connector are disposed at a distance from the inner surface of the first body and are coupled to be freely rotatable. 
     
     
         39 . The block toy of  claim 27 , wherein the second body coupling portion is coupled to be rotatable around a longitudinal rotation axis of the second body. 
     
     
         40 . The block toy of  claim 39 , wherein the second body coupling portion is coupled to a second body fixing portion to limit a rotation range of the second body.
