A game assembly involving the arrangement of game pieces on a game board and permitting storage and transportation of the game pieces arranged on the game board in an intermediate stage of game play. The game assembly comprises a case having a plurality of hinged case segments which are foldable from open configuration exposing a game area to a closed configuration enclosing the game area. The hinged case segments includes lateral case segments hingedly joined to opposing edges of an internal case segment. The game area is formed from lateral and internal game elements. The lateral game elements are disposed on the lateral case segments. The internal game element are hingedly connected to one of the lateral game elements and rotatably moveable between being disposed on the internal case segment and being disposed on the one of the lateral game elements.

Configurable game assembly

A carrier and a conventional toy vehicle have mating structures to releasably connect the two together. The carrier is configured to support the vehicle to run along a T shaped portion of the monorail track. The carrier has a main housing having the mating structure and a through channel on upper and lower sides. Rollers support the carrier to move on the upper running surface of the track while other structures extend beneath the running surface to capture the surface in the through channel. Weights are supported from the main housing in legs extending below the main housing, through channel and running surface.

Toy vehicle monorail track set

A toy figure includes a body, an arm movably coupled to the body, and a drive mechanism coupled to the arm. The drive mechanism moves the arm along a first path of motion between a first position and a second position during a first segment of a movement cycle, and the drive mechanism moves the arm along a second path of motion between the second position and a third position during a second segment of the movement cycle.

A water gun may comprise a body having a front surface, a nozzle mounted on and extending from the body, an actuator, at least one fluid reservoir, and a pump. The nozzle may have at least a nozzle portion adapted to move between an extended position spaced away from the front surface and a retracted position closer to the front surface than the extended position. The actuator may be adapted to be moved relative to the body, and mechanically coupled to the nozzle for moving the nozzle between the retracted and extended positions when the actuator is moved between first and second positions. The fluid reservoir may comprise first and second end portions and a generally uniform elongate intermediate portion extending between the first and second end portions, which may have volumes that are larger than the volume of the intermediate portion. The pump may be fluidly coupled to the at least one reservoir and the nozzle, with the pump being operable to discharge fluid received from the at least one reservoir through the a nozzle.
