Abstract
A toy having two portions mountable to one another in two relative configurations, is disclosed. In a first configuration the toy effectively simulates a person, toy character, figure, animal or the like in a substantially upright standing configuration. The toy has a pair of wheels mounted to a lower portion thereof. In a second configuration which is attained by pivoting the two portions relative to one another about an axis substantially normal to the general longitudinal axis of the toy, an additional wheel is exposed for contact with a support surface, and the toy simulates a toy vehicle capable of locomotion on the support surface. In the second configuration the toy also simulates a person, toy figure, character or the like disposed in a prone configuration on the support surface.
