Abstract
An assembly of a toy and a capsule. The toy can be selectively removed from the capsule. Alternatively, the toys can be left inside the capsule and multiple capsules can be interconnected to produce a larger toy structure. Each capsule used in the system has a first half and a second half. The two halves selectively interconnect along a common seam. When the capsule is closed, the capsule's interior can only be accessed through an access opening. Each capsule comes with a toy figure that is held within its interior. The toy figure is mounted to a suction cup. The suction cup remains external of the capsule while the toy figure is inside the capsule. A neck links the toy figure to the suction cup through the access opening in the capsule. Different capsules can be interconnected to build a larger structure.
