Abstract: |
A convertible toy in which a device of one appearance can be change to a substantially different appearance. For example, from an apparently innocuous-looking device, such as a computer or a trash can, a figurine can be rotated up through a space left by a receding part in the top so that the figurine may appear to visually observe the surroundings.
