Abstract: A transformable toy for use on a playing surface is provided. The transformable toy is formed to includes at least one movable housing element that will move from and expanded to a retracted position when a catch and a latch of the transformable toy are secured and released by an actuator of the transformable toy. The transformable toy is formed to roll about at least one rotation axis thereof, and in some embodiments, is also formed to be driven to spin about a spinning axis thereof. In some embodiments the transformable toy includes separably connectable top and bottom housing portions, and in some embodiments, different bottom housing portions can be exchanged on a particular top housing portion to provide different functionality to the transformable toy. The transformable toy can be driven to spin about the spinning axis by a shaft and flywheel mounted within the transformable toy.

Abstract: A transformable toy kit for use on a support surface is provided. The transformable toy kit includes a transformable toy which has a movable housing element that moves between retracted and expanded positions when a catch and a latch of the transformable toy are secured and released by an actuator of the transformable toy, respectively. The transformable toy further includes a shaft assembly including a shaft rotatably mounted within the housing, and a flywheel mounted to the shaft, which includes a gear. The kit includes a ripcord member that is insertable into an access aperture in the housing to engage with the gear. The ripcord member is pullable once inserted into the access aperture so as to drive rotation of the flywheel, thereby driving spinning of the transformable toy.
