Toy Figure with Sound and Light Show

Abstract

A toy figure has a torso, a torso light source, a light source support member, a plurality of peripheral light sources, one or more spacers, and a speaker. A controller is operably connected to the torso light source, the plurality of peripheral light sources, and the speaker to coordinate a magical light and sound experience. Clothing fabric hides the plurality of peripheral light sources, but allows light from the plurality of peripheral light sources to be seen through the clothing fabric when the light and sound experience begins.

1 . A toy figure comprising:
 a torso;   a torso light source integrated into the torso;   a light source support member attached to the torso, the light source support member including one or more light source support structures;   a plurality of peripheral light sources, each peripheral light source attached to one of the light source support structures of the light support member;   a speaker integrated into the torso;   a controller operably connected to the torso light source, the plurality of peripheral light sources, and the speaker; and   clothing fabric covering the plurality of peripheral light sources, the clothing fabric allowing light from the plurality of peripheral light sources to be seen through the clothing fabric.   
     
     
         2 . The toy figure of  claim 1 , where the torso light source and each of the plurality of peripheral light sources includes a multi-faceted lens. 
     
     
         3 . The toy figure of  claim 1 , where each of the plurality of peripheral light sources includes a spacer extending from the peripheral light source towards the clothing fabric. 
     
     
         4 . The toy figure of  claim 1 , where the controller drives the torso light source, the plurality of peripheral light sources, and the speaker to produce a light show synchronized to music. 
     
     
         5 . The toy figure of  claim 1 , where the plurality of peripheral light sources are arranged on the light source support structures in a plurality of lines. 
     
     
         6 . The toy figure of  claim 1 , where the torso light source and the plurality of peripheral light sources include light sources of differing colors. 
     
     
         7 . The toy figure of  claim 1 , where the torso light source and the plurality of peripheral light sources are each multi-colored light sources. 
     
     
         8 . The toy figure of  claim 1 , where the torso light source and the plurality of peripheral light sources include light-emitting diodes. 
     
     
         9 . The toy figure of  claim 8 , where each light-emitting diode is a multi-colored light-emitting diode. 
     
     
         10 . The toy figure of  claim 1 , where the controller drives the torso light source and the plurality of peripheral light sources to fade in and out. 
     
     
         11 . The toy figure of  claim 1  further comprising a switch integrated into the torso and operably connected to the controller. 
     
     
         12 . The toy figure of  claim 11  further comprising a wand with a magnet, where the switch is a magnetic switch and is activated by the wand. 
     
     
         13 . The toy figure of  claim 11 , where the switch is a contact switch. 
     
     
         14 . A toy figure comprising:
 a torso;   a light source support member attached to the torso;   a plurality of peripheral light sources attached to the light support member;   a controller operably connected to the plurality of peripheral light sources;   clothing fabric covering the plurality of peripheral light sources, the clothing fabric allowing light from the plurality of peripheral light sources to be seen through the clothing fabric; and   one or more spacers attached to each of the plurality of peripheral light sources extending from the peripheral light source towards the clothing fabric.   
     
     
         15 . The toy figure of  claim 14 , where each of the plurality of peripheral light sources includes a multi-faceted lens. 
     
     
         16 . The toy figure of  claim 14  further comprising a speaker integrated into the torso and operably connected to the controller. 
     
     
         17 . The toy figure of  claim 16 , where the controller drives the plurality of peripheral light sources and the speaker to produce a light show synchronized to music. 
     
     
         18 . The toy figure of  claim 14  where the light source support member includes one or more light source support structures, and the plurality of peripheral light sources are attached to one of the light source support structures. 
     
     
         19 . The toy figure of  claim 14  further comprising a switch integrated into the torso and operably connected to the controller. 
     
     
         20 . A toy figure comprising:
 a torso;   a plurality of peripheral light sources attached to the torso;   a controller operably connected to the plurality of peripheral light sources;   clothing fabric covering the plurality of peripheral light sources, the clothing fabric allowing light from the plurality of peripheral light sources to be seen through the clothing fabric; and   one or more spacers attached to each of the plurality of peripheral light sources extending from the peripheral light source towards the clothing fabric.
