Abstract

A toy which can be assembled in a non-permanent manner has a body which includes a first and second body section. Each of the first and second body sections includes a mating face. The mating face on each of the body sections is complementary to the mating face of the other body section, such that the sections can be positioned in association with one another by juxtaposing the respective mating faces. A motor capable of producing an output is held in a motor cradle formed in part in one of the sections and its remaining part formed in the other of the sections. The sections are maintained together utilizing a fastening mechanism which includes one of the sections having an opening in its mating face and the other of the sections having a first joining member which is capable of passing through the opening and a second joining member capable of frictionally engaging the first joining member. At least one appendage member is operatively connected to the body and operatively associated with the motor and capable of moving with respect to the body in response to output of the motor. Movement of the appendage member with respect to the body moves the toy with respect to a support surface.
