TECHNICAL FIELD

The present technology is related to selectively engageable fasteners and, more particularly, to toys including different modules or components that can be interchangeably assembled together using selectively engageable fasteners.

BACKGROUND

Toys are popular with both children and adults. Some toys include parts like components or modules that can be attached to and detached from one another in a variety of combinations. The components and modules of such toys can include fasteners that facilitate the attachment/detachment of the parts from one another. Typically, such fasteners generate little or no sound during attachment/detachment due to sound damping effects from the materials to which the fasteners are affixed, as well as from the manner in which the fasteners are secured to the materials. Moreover, the fasteners are often susceptible to failure after repeated mechanical attachment/detachment, shortening the functional lifetime of the toy.
