Abstract
A combination including a container having a back plate and a transparent receptacle secured to the back plate, and one or more liquid dissolvable capsules containing compressed, resiliently expandable toy figurines confined in a chamber between the receptacle and the back plate is disclosed. One or more openings are formed in the back plate which communicate with the chamber between the receptacle and back plate so that warm water can flow into the chamber to dissolve the capsules to release the toy figurines upon immersion of the container in a warm liquid such as a child's bath water, the container thus preventing young children from handling the capsules directly.
