Toy: Gravity Robot
The Gravity Robot is one of the wackiest toys in the game. You can place the robot in any direction. Clicking on a Robot will activate its crazy sci-fi gravity powers. Gravity will change in the direction of the Robot's arms and arrow on its chest. Clicking a robot again will put its arms down and restore gravity to normal.

Toy: Jack-in-the-Box
The Jack-in-the-Box acts as a spring. Any toy that collides with it will be launched skywards. The Jack in Box also does not have gravity associated (so it will stay exactly where you place it) and cannot be picked up.

Toy: Backflipping Dog
The Backflipping Toy Dog is a small but heavy toy. The Dog's ability is pretty self expanatory in that it backflips when activated (left clicked w/ the action tool selected). The dog can backflip as many times as you want, but really only works if it is on its feet.

Toy: Dart Gun
The Dart Gun is the first toy you'll come across that has an action associated with it. The Dart Gun is static, so you can place it exactly where you want it to stay and not worry about gravity pulling it down. Darts are affected by gravity and will drift low, so aim high! To fire a dart, select the action button (the fat button above all the toy buttons) and left click the gun.

Toy: Teddy Bear
The Teddy Bear is a fairly heavy object. It has rag doll physics and is very fun to play with visually. It is a rather hard object to get into the toy chest because of its shape, size, and weight. It is one of the best objects to use to knock over things (such as a rocket or block tower) and is also useful as a lighter substitute to the bowling ball.

Toy: Baseball
The Baseball is one of the more simplistic toys in the Magic Toy Chest. It is circular / spherical in shape and is very easily rolled. It has a decent weight, but it's shape prevents anything from being stacked effectively on top of it. The baseball is a very popular "goal" in the game. The best way to get it to start rolling is by dropping a block on one of its sides (the higher the better).
