1. A toy transformable between a first configuration and a second configuration, the toy comprising:
an open or openable primary portion defining a hollow cavity;
a secondary portion pivotably connected to the primary portion at one or more attachment points, the attachment points located in proximity to a bottom of the primary portion, the secondary portion primarily resides inside the hollow cavity in the first configuration, wherein a full rotation of the primary portion in a first direction causes the secondary portion to pivot around the attachment points and out of the hollow cavity due to the gravitational force acting on the secondary portion and causes the secondary portion to primarily reside outside of the hollow cavity, the toy is in the second configuration when the secondary portion primarily resides outside of the hollow cavity, and wherein a full rotation of the primary portion in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, causes the secondary portion to pivot around the attachment points and into the hollow cavity due to the gravitational force acting on the secondary portion and causes the secondary portion to primarily reside inside of the hollow cavity in the first configuration.
