As a kid, one of my absolute all time favorite toys to play with were Legos. They were so straight forward, you could never really “mess up” when building with Legos as they could fit together in any way you tried to put them together. Something else that I used to love, and still love…

As a child I loved playing with Tech Decks. For my altered toys design, I am conceptual altering this toy by making a snowboard and snowboard park, instead of a skateboard.

When I was younger I went to a Girl Scout camp every summer. On the last day, we would trade pins, and everyone got to make their own. For this project, I thought it would be fun to make a tradable pin like the ones I used to wish I could make. My camp name…

I decided to make a monopoly token for my sister with her initials. I loved playing monopoly as a kid and choosing our tokens was one of the most important parts.

My idea for this toy is to make a somewhat realistic version of the character piranha plant. I took a venus flytrap and then tried to combine it with the piranha from Super Mario games. I plan to make the jaws movable with servos and also paint them like in the Mario games. I am…

For my project I decided to create a model plane that is perpetually broken. As a child I bought and built many model planes and would always end up crashing and having to repair them. For this project I thought it would be funny to have a plane that comes broken and could never be…

My Idea for the altered toy design project is based of the Wii remote, since I used to play a lot on the wii as a child. Nowadays, the wii is obsolete and this design is meant to be a symbol to represent that as it depicts a wii remote leaning sadly against the wall.

I was obsessed with Percy Jackson as a kid and always wanted some of the stuff in the book. I wanted to model Poseidon’s trident and make it a fidget spinner. I don’t have access to CAD software so I drew it up but I will be using the school’s resources to design and print…

When I was a kid I used to make a bunch of lego stuff and throw them off a balcony to see what survived, I also liked trying to make parachutes to slow the fall but they never worked too well. So I made a mock-up for a lego parachute block, pretty simple kinda fun.

My plan is to create a rotating ballerina from the pictured file I found on Thingiverse. The ballerina part represents my dream career as a child, but the bottom will be a visible gearbox that I will create in SolidWorks representing my current career path.

For my altered toy I plan to print figurines. Me and my sister used to play with small characters a lot when we were much younger, I hardly remember it now but I figured I could cross that memory with something I enjoy now which will once again be Destiny 2. I managed to extract…

When I was younger I always wanted to play with RC toys like cars and things. Most of all though I liked the powered Legos because I could design whatever I wanted. Unfortunately Lego Battlebots doesn’t work out very well. Yes, I tested that. For the altered toys project I’m going for a very major…

I decided to go with a toy that references a mythical creature Dragon Turtle (Lóngguī). However, I put a twist. Since we are going with toys, I think it would only feel natural to try and target a children audience. Once particular reference I based my design on are Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Specifically, the baby dragon card…

for this project I altered a lego brick piece to add a football within. as a child I always used to play with legos and build cities, I hope to modify the legos to build up some of the building blocks of what I enjoy. I hope to make a couple of these to highlight…

Created on OnShape

This is a key chain that you put on you finger and can spin around as if it where on a bearing

For my altered toy, I decided to make a variation on one of my favorite childhood toys: the Hex Bug Nano. They are mostly no longer in production, so it is getting harder to find some of the classic color combos. To create my hex bug, I used Onshape for a general shape and used…

Since I talked about Littlest Pet Shop in the previous class, they were the first thing on my mind for toys to alter. LPS were probably my favourite toys next to Lego and Schleich figures. I figured it would be pretty simple and fun to create my own LPS! I am even getting the full…
