Abstract

A miniature toy kit including a three-dimensional diorama scene, figures positionable on the scene and a case which functions both as a supporting field for the toy and a storage and carrying case. The diorama scene is formed of an elastic and memory-retaining material such as latex so that the same may be compressed into the case for storage but springs back to its original three-dimensional form when the case is opened. Different dioramas can be substituted and numbers of kits can be connected in modular fashion. When stored in the case, the figures are safely held against movement and possible injury.
