LIGHT SHOOTING AND DETECTING TOY FIGURES

摘要

Toy objects such as action figures, toy robots, toy vehicles, simulated creatures, etc., are provided with apparatus for playing a shooting game which is controlled by one or more human players. Each toy includes either an energy emitter (12), an energy sensor (14), or both. The toy objects are manipulatable by the players to face the emitters and the sensors in directions to hit other toys with radiated energy or to avoid being hit by other toy objects. Preferably the emitter (12) radiates infrared light and the sensor (14) detects infrared light, and are operated from a backpack removable attached to an action figure. Control of radiating and detecting infrared light is similar to the control in the currently popular "laser" shooting games available from Toymax Inc. under the trademark "Laser Challenge".
