1. A transformable toy, the figure of which can be changed from a state where a toy doll is riding on an autobicycle movable toy to a toy robot having a configuration different from that of the toy doll by transforming at least a part of the autobicycle movable toy and mounting it on the toy doll,
the autobicycle movable toy including an assembly composed of a plurality of components, the assembly being mounted onto an upper body of the toy doll to constitute an exterior for an upper body of the toy robot,
the assembly including a first assembly constituent section mainly disposed in a front side of the toy doll; a second assembly constituent section connected to the first assembly constituent section and disposed in a back side of the toy doll; and a third assembly constituent section connecting the first and second assembly constituent sections, each of the first, second and third assembly constituent sections being composed of the one or more components,
the first, second and third assembly constituent sections being assembled together in an annular shape to constitute the exterior of the toy doll, the exterior surrounding at least shoulders, a crotch, the front side and the back side of the toy doll,
the first assembly constituent section including a front cover, a front fork, and a front frame of the autobicycle; the second assembly constituent section including a fuel tank, a sitting portion, a rear frame, and a rear cover; and the third assembly constituent section including a handle,
at least the front frame and the rear frame being rotatably connected,
the fuel tank being constituted by assembling two tank half portions that can be separated apart right and left, and
the two tank half portions being attached to the rear frame in such a manner that the front frame can pass through between the two tank half portions which are separated apart left and right when assembling the first, second and third assembly constituent sections in the annular shape.
