Assembly with toy character in housing

Abstract

In an aspect, a toy character assembly is provided, and includes a housing, a toy character, at least one sensor and a controller. The toy character is positioned inside the housing and includes a breakout mechanism that is operable to break the housing to expose the toy character. The at least one sensor detects interaction with a user. The controller is configured to determine whether a selected condition has been met based on at least one interaction with the user, and to operate the breakout mechanism to break the housing to expose the toy character if the condition is met. Optionally, the condition is met based upon having a selected number of interactions with the user.

1 . A polymer composition comprising:
 about 15-25 weight-% base polymer;   about 1-5 weight-% organic acid metal salt; and   about 75-85 weight-% inorganic/particulate filler.   
     
     
         2 . A polymer composition as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base polymer is an elastomeric polymer. 
     
     
         3 . A polymer composition as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the elastomeric polymer is ethylene-vinyl acetate. 
     
     
         4 . A polymer composition as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the organic acid metal salt is zinc stearate. 
     
     
         5 . A polymer composition as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the inorganic/particulate filler is a mineral filler. 
     
     
         6 . A polymer composition as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the mineral filler is calcium carbonate. 
     
     
         7 . A polymer composition as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base polymer is ethylene-vinyl acetate, the organic acid metal is zinc stearate, and the inorganic/particulate filler is calcium carbonate. 
     
     
         8 . A polymer composition as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the polymer composition is formed into an article. 
     
     
         9 . A polymer composition as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the article is a housing for a toy. 
     
     
         10 . A polymer composition as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the article is a form of consumer packaging.
