1. A toy, comprising:
at least one digit, wherein the at least one digit comprises a first segment and a second segment connected by a joint,
wherein the joint comprises interference members and a hinge connecting ends of the first segment and the second segment, wherein the interference members of the joint interfere as the first segment and the second segment transition between a first state and a second state,
wherein the first segment and the second segment each comprise a first retention feature disposed on a same first side thereof distal from the joint, wherein the first retention features reversibly retain the first segment to the second segment in the second state,
wherein the interference members are configured to interfere with each other when the first segment and the second segment are in the first state and through an interference range of motion and to release from interference with each other outside the interference range of motion, and
wherein the hinge permits rotation of the first segment and the second segment about the joint between the first state and the second state through the interference range of motion.
