Abstract
A toy item includes a body with a drive, a drive input, a drive output, and a driven activity member, or other movable output. Application of force to the drive input can activate the drive and produce movement of the driven activity member. Two similar toy items can be disposed in operable engagement so that the drive output of one toy item can engage the drive input of the other toy item, so that application of force to the drive input of one toy item can activate the drives of both toy items.
