Abstract
A wearable toy having an outer housing capable of rotating around a wearable component with more than one pod at the outer housing each able to receive a contained discharge element. The pods are engaged by an actuator assembly which operates to project the contained discharge element of each pod. The pods at the outer housing may receive, e.g., a removable canister containing the discharge elements. The actuator assembly includes a first actuator coupled to the wearable component for manipulation by a user and a second actuator capable of engaging the first actuator projecting the contained discharge element of each of the plurality of pods. The canister may include a second actuator coupled and capable of engagement with the first actuator as the outer housing member is rotated to allow alignment of first and second actuators for projecting the contained discharge element.
