ABSTRACT:
A packaging assembly for an item to be displayed, such as a toy action figure, enables a prospective purchaser to manipulate the item by means of an external actuator. More specifically, the packaging assembly includes a housing having a plurality of walls which cooperate to define an interior space, and an actuator assembly for actuating a movement of the item within the packaging assembly. The actuator assembly includes an actuator element which is releasably coupled to the item wherein movement of the actuator element causes a corresponding movement of the item to be displayed. A portion of the actuator element is accessible through an opening in one of the walls for movement of the actuator element. In a preferred embodiment, the housing includes a rear wall and a transparent blister which is mounted to the rear wall. The blister and rear wall cooperate to form an interior space in which the item is received. The preferred packaging assembly further includes a display base received within the packaging assembly. The display base includes a body portion and a rotatable platform mounted on the body portion. The item is releasably mounted to the movable platform, and the platform is rotatable through 360.degree. of rotation by means of a thumb wheel so that the item can rotated through 360.degree. of rotation within the interior space and can therefore be viewed at any angle.
