Toy figure with channeled leg members

Claim 1

A toy figure, adapted to be detachably mounted on a base plate pertaining to a building set and having a plurality of coupling studs uniformly spaced apart in both longitudinal and transverse directions, so that two pairs of adjacent studs define a square in which the distance between the axes of adjacent studs is equal to the module m of the building set, said toy figure comprising a head, a body, a pair of arms, and a leg assembly comprising a connecting piece adapted to be mounted on the body and including a pair of sidewardly extending pivots, a pair of identical leg members mounted on said pivots, said leg members having substantially flat rear faces (calves) and foot parts having a plane bottom face (sole), wherein the improvements consist in the provision of recesses in the form of channels extending lengthwise of the flat rear face (calf) of the leg members and recesses in the bottom face (sole) of the foot parts, each of said recesses having a width substantially equal to the width of the coupling studs of the base plate and being disposed symmetrically with respect to an axis extending in the lengthwise direction of the leg member and foot part respectively, the distance between the said axes of symmetry, in the position of the leg members wherein the planes of their flat rear faces (calves) coincide, being equal to the module m of the building set.
