In the figure, reference numeral 119 denotes a gun, which has holes 127° and 129 for fitting and holding an earphone's big amplifier and a plug (not shown), and an insertion hole ( (not shown) to attach the bottle 131. Further, although this is also not shown, a jack into which an earphone plug is inserted is provided on the sole of the lower leg portion 1010 on which the speaker 107 is provided. In addition, 126 in the figure is a knob for volume control.

Note that the storage structure of the radio module 41 and the connection structure of each part are not limited to the illustrated example, and various structures can be adopted.

Next, in the illustrated embodiment, a description will be given of the conversion from the robot form described above to the form of an acoustic device such as a radio cassette recorder.

First, the head 9 is rotated in the direction of arrow B to face the back side, and then rotated in the direction of arrow A to be housed in the recess 5. The arm portion 15 pushes the connecting body 29 into the upper arm portion 21 and
The lower arm part 31 is brought into close contact with the lower arm part 31, and after rotating about 90 degrees about the pin 27 of the connecting bar 17 as a rotation center, the connecting bar 17 is pushed into the body part l and brought into close contact with the side surface 11 of the body part l.

Next, the gripping member 113 is inserted from within the recessed portion iti of the lower leg portion 1010.
While pulling out the lower leg part 101, pull the upper leg part 9 downward.
Pull out the connecting body 103 from inside 9. And so to speak, leg 9
7 is in an extended state and the whole is rotated upward until the upper leg part 99 comes into close contact with the arm part 15 and is in a horizontal state. At this time, it is better to store the foot part 117 in the lower leg part 101.

After the entire leg portion 97 is rotated until it is in a horizontal state as described above, the lower leg portion 101 is folded upward about the connection position with the connecting body 103 as the center of rotation. When the lower leg portions 101 of both leg portions 15, 15 are folded up as described above and brought into close contact with the outside of arm portion 15, both gripping members 113 will come into contact with each other. In this state, insert the tip of one gripping member iia into the connecting member 115 provided on the other gripping member 113, and then pull it out until the connecting member 115 is evenly fitted to both gripping members 113, 113. For example, the operation for changing the form is completed. Of course, the change in form from the form of an audio device to the form of a robot is a reverse process to the above.

When this operation is completed, a form of audio equipment resembling a radio cassette recorder appears as shown in the figure. Here, a first switch 5 for opening/closing the storage lid body 43 provided on the body, and a radio module 41t" ON, OFF
The second and third switches 52 and 53, the opening/closing mechanism 55 inside the body 1, and the switching mechanism 57 can be operated regardless of the operation state of each part in the above-mentioned form change, and the radio module 41 can also be operated. Sound can be emitted, taken out, and stored regardless of the shape change situation.

Since the sound emitting shape changing toy according to the present invention is as described above, the sound emitting toy can be continuously emitted from the radio module even in the form of a robot, in the form of an audio device, and even while changing its form. Because it is possible to
This has the effect of making the player feel extremely interested at all times. Furthermore, the radio module can produce sound even if it is taken out of the toy, and the sound can be listened to individually, making it very interesting in this respect as well. In other words, compared to conventional toys that simply produce sounds, the user can also enjoy the change in form, which has a synergistic effect on increasing interest.
