A wearable toy having an outer housing capable of rotating around a wearable component with more than one pod at the outer housing each able to receive a contained discharge element. The pods are engaged by an actuator assembly which operates to project the contained discharge element of each pod. The pods at the outer housing may receive, e.g., a removable canister containing the discharge elements. The actuator assembly includes a first actuator coupled to the wearable component for manipulation by a user and a second actuator capable of engaging the first actuator projecting the contained discharge element of each of the plurality of pods. The canister may include a second actuator coupled and capable of engagement with the first actuator as the outer housing member is rotated to allow alignment of first and second actuators for projecting the contained discharge element.

Wearable toy with rotatable discharge pods for firing projectiles and methods

A toy sword is disclosed which more accurately replicates the functionality and appearance of fictional light sabers. The sword uses a plurality of telescoping tubes which are fully retractable into the hilt of the sword, and a spring movable between extended and active positions. The spring works in conjunction with a projectile which upon release launches with a smallest diameter tube of the plurality of telescoping tubes and advances same distally away from the hilt. The tubes are telescopingly manufactured so that as the smallest diameter tube reaches the end of its travel, it frictionally engages a distal end of the next smallest diameter tube and in so doing carries that tube distally. In so doing, the entire plurality of tubes is outwardly launched in a cascading fashion. When manually depressed back into the hilt, each of the telescoping tubes is entirely retracted into the hilt, thus not being visible to the user in the retracted position.

A toy having a simulated climbing figure comprises a figure including a magnet, a launching unit including a platform for receiving the figure, with the platform shiftable between a stationary position and a launch position to permit figure to be launched from the launching unit along a trajectory. A structure is placeable in the trajectory and includes a generally vertical component, with the structure having a ferrous metal element disposed generally adjacent the generally vertical component. The magnet of the figure and the element of the structure are arranged to enable the figure to be retained on the structure.

There is disclosed a toy projectile launcher having a slidable launch tube capable of sliding in a cylinder to compress gas and receiving that compressed gas to launch a projectile. The toy projectile launcher may also include focusable lights that improve accuracy up to a certain distance.
