DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a system for action figure entertainment. The system for action figure entertainment according to the present invention includes a flat attachment surface that is available for a user. The attachment surface is created by the conversion of a box into a flat surface. The box includes hinges that allow for the conversion of the box into a flat surface. Over the flat surface is a series of attachment pegs. These attachments pegs receive action figures that are included with the system. In addition, decorative attachments may be included to create a scene associated with the system according to the present invention. Preferably each action figure is created by the assembly of limbs that are available within the system. The limbs are attached to a ball and a socket attachment and once assembled, the figures are attached to the pegs of the flat surface created by the user. Each decorative attachment may also include a means to attach to the pegs of the flat surface.
In reference to FIG. 1, a box enclosure 100 according to present invention is depicted in a closed position. This box enclosure 100 includes a handle 24 and a latch closure 27. The box enclosure 100 includes a first side 20 a and a second side 20 b. Each side 20 a, 20 b opens to expose the inside thereof via hinges 22 a, 22 b. A base portion 28 is remains on a flat surface underlying the box enclosure 100 in either position.
FIG. 2 shows the box enclosure 100 in an open position. The open position exposes the inner surface of the box enclosure 100. The inner surface includes a middle portion 31, a forward section 32 and a rear section 30. The components comprise the entertainment surface to receive action figures or other components. An inside wall 21 a is provided on each side, where the sides include a first side extension 33 and a second side extension 34. Once in this position an action figure entertainment scene may be created by the user.
In addition to the action figures, decorative figures may be provided for placement onto the flat surface shown in FIG. 2. Both the action figures and decorative pieces include attachment means to engage the inner surface of the box enclosure 100. Overall, the system provides a complete action figure entertainment system that is customized by the user using various figures and decorative pieces provided within the system.
The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The exemplary embodiment was chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
