The present invention disclosed a contractile toy structure having a
building or figure bodily shape. The toy structure according to the
invention comprises one or more sets of resilient supporting mechanisms
and a plurality of lock mechanisms. The resilient supporting mechanism
makes the toy structure contractile and the lock mechanism holds the toy
in a contracted state after the resilient supporting mechanisms are
compressed. Through changes between contracted and extended states, the
toy can display different postures. In addition, the invention has the
advantage of reduced space requirement in transportation due to its
contractility that has an effect similar to a foldable or compressible
characteristic and thus provides convenience in use.
