Abstract:
1. A toy figure configured to selectively control a DVD player having a DVD game medium, the DVD player having a plurality of different functions and being adapted to receive a plurality of different control signals with each control signal being associated with a different function of the DVD player, and to perform the associated function in response to a received control signal, the toy figure comprising: a body; at least a pair of wings attached to the body and configured to be moved relative to the body; a motion subsystem configured to generate movement of at least one of the one or more parts, the motion subsystem including a motor, a gear assembly operatively connecting the motor and the at least a pair of wings, and a trigger configured to activate the motor to move the at least a pair of wings, the motion subsystem being further configured to generate a movement signal responsive to activation of the trigger; at least a first orientation sensor supported by the body and configured to detect a first orientation of the body relative to a reference plane, and to generate a first orientation signal based on the detected first orientation; and a processing subsystem supported by the body and configured to receive at least the first orientation signal, and to generate a corresponding first control signal the plurality of different control signals based, at least in part, on the received first orientation signal, the processing subsystem further configured to receive the movement signal, and to generate a corresponding second control signal of the plurality of different control signals based, at least in part, on the received movement signal to selectively control the DVD player having the DVD game medium.
