ABSTRACT:
A sectional toy action figure is constructed of snap-together plastic components, characterized by the fact that an action figure may be assembled in a large variety of sizes and configurations, using a limited variety of individual components. Arms and legs may be configured in life-like orientations with connector elements providing for ball and socket connections at one end and a rod socket at the other. An additional terminal connector, comprising a ball socket at one end and a rod-like post at the other, is combinable with the before mentioned connector elements. Significant variety in sizing and configuring of the action figure is made possible by the ability to join said connector elements to each other by a connector rod, and to join a connector element with a terminal connector. The action figure also includes a head structure formed of layer-like sections mountable on a rod in a variety of configurations and orientations, enlarging the variety or forms in which the action figure may be constructed, using a minimum number of component parts.
