Abstract
A transforming dart mechanism is described. The transforming dart mechanism includes an inner collar and an outer collar. A dart body is positioned through the inner collar, while fins are pivotally attached with the outer collar. A deployable canopy is affixed with the fins. Thus, in operation, a user can position the fins and deployable canopy against the dart body in a collapsed state. When in the collapsed state, a user can shoot the toy dart horn a to dart gun and upon contacting a target, the fins and deployable canopy expand into an expanded state.
