ABSTRACT:
A bendable and posable toothbrush toy has a toothbrush portion detectably secured to a handle portion in the form of an animate character. At least part of the character handle is posable, preferably the arms thereof, by providing a wire insert within the resilient material from which the character handle is molded. The toothbrush can therefore be changed to a variety of different poses, and different character handles can be interchanged. The toothbrush proper secures to the interchangeable handle by a twist-and-lock mechanism which allows young users to simply and detectably fasten the toothbrush portion to the handle portion at a precise relative angular orientation.
