Abstract:
An action toy for simulating combat between two opposing forces using miniaturized toy combat equipment and target locations. The top comprises at least one miniature combat attack device having a transmitter therein for selecting and generating a radio signal at a preset first frequency. At least one target device is provided and includes a plurality of target components which are releasably coupled together and capable of being dislodged to simulate a combat strike with attendant destruction. The target device includes a receiver pretuned to the first frequency and responsive to its transmission. Detection circuitry is provided to detect the transmission of the first signal and generate a destruct signal. A target release arm is placed proximate to the target component in spring loaded manner and includes a releasable retaining arm which holds the target release arm in a spring loaded, retracted position. Upon detection of the radio signal, the target release arm is activated, causing the dislodgment of the target component simulating a direct hit by the attack device.
