A play apparatus in the form of a toy figure includes a body member that
can be separated into left and right halves by dividing generally
centrally along a generally vertical line or plane and can be joined with
the opposing halves of another toy figure to create different figures.
Each of the left and right halves preferably has a preassigned game or
power value and a name. When the two halves are joined, they produce an
original, solid-figure, or a split-figure, with a combined name and a
combined game value. The two halves of an original, solid-figure, or the
two halves of a split-figure, when joined, blend visibly seamlessly about
a line of adjoinment. In addition, the facial, head, and torso features
of the two halves also blend visibly seamlessly to create an overall
external impression or visual image of a whole.
