Is there a wide variety of chess toys available? e.g. pull-back rooks that shoot across the board.
Treating chess pieces as toys is a bit like Rolf Harris covering Stairway to Heaven, surely?
I don't think so. All I can find pictures of is this handmade one from Russia.
My wife says I'm her chess toy.
My wife is knitting me a chess set.
Inexplicably, we missed that one from the list of materials.
This reminds me of a Harry Potter Scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRCgQ3yQuIg
They usually play wizard chess on regular sized boards and moving pieces.
They made a 20in x 20in chess board based on this one; but it cost almost $400.
Indeed we all did miss it. I think we all were listing materials that we have seen.
So textile fibers and materials is another category to add to your list.
We may think that some day rice will be used to fabricate pieces and boards using rice paper.
Vegetables and flowers petals could also be used.
This looks like an early 'chess engine' - use of which is not allowed on this site. I'm not even sure whether you're allowed to post pictures of them.
hahahahahaha
Not strictly a toy - more a sensible precaution.
Do you wear the appropriate safety equipment when playing chess?
funny stuff
My wife is knitting sweaters for my chess pieces.
Not acrylic, I hope. Those can be itchy & scratchy.
Is chess getting on top of you?
Lego robot chess set. Video at chessbase.
Not only do they move around, making way for other pieces to pass, but many of the pieces are animated, such as the knight that claws the air.

I had a great inflatable set. Unfortunately, I lost most of the pieces, but I still have the 2 queens.
I still play with them sometimes.
They seem surprised.
Perhaps I'm not reading the faces right though.
LOL
Too bad you lost the inflatable horsies.
