Abstract
In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided and includes a housing and an inner object inside the housing. The inner object includes a breakout mechanism that is operable to break the housing to expose the inner object. The breakout mechanism drives a portion of the inner object outwards towards an extended position relative to a remainder of the inner object. The breakout mechanism urges the portion of the inner object towards the extended position through a biasing member, thereby limiting a force applied by the portion of the inner object based on the biasing member, so as to reduce a risk of a poking injury to a user of the toy assembly.
