A transforming dart mechanism is described. The transforming dart mechanism includes an inner collar and an outer collar. A dart body is positioned through the inner collar, while fins are pivotally attached with the outer collar. A deployable canopy is affixed with the fins. Thus, in operation, a user can position the fins and deployable canopy against the dart body in a collapsed state. When in the collapsed state, a user can shoot the toy dart horn a to dart gun and upon contacting a target, the fins and deployable canopy expand into an expanded state.

1. A transforming dart mechanism, comprising: a base adapted to attach with a dart body;an expansion component connected with the base, the expansion component formed to be positioned in a collapsed state and, upon hitting a. target, moving into an expanded state;wherein the expansion component includes a plurality of fins that are pivotally connected with the base; andwherein the expansion component further includes a deployable canopy affixed with the plurality of fins. 2. The transforming dart mechanism as set forth in claim 1, wherein the base further comprises: an inner collar, the inner collar having a hole therethrough to accommodate a dart body, wherein the inner collar further includes a spring recess and a plurality of collar knuckles;a spring positioned around the spring recess; andan outer collar, the outer collar being positioned around the inner collar, wherein the plurality of fins are pivotally connected with the outer collar. 3. The transforming dart mechanism as set forth in claim 2, wherein each of the plurality of fins includes a fin knuckle, the fin knuckles being formed to engage with the collar knuckles, such that when the fins are folded back into a collapsed state, the fin knuckles engage with the collar knuckles to force the outer collar back, whereby when the transforming dart mechanism is shot from a toy dart gun and hits a target, forward momentum force causes the fins to deploy forward, with the collar knuckles also engaging with the fin knuckles to assist the fins in folding out into the expanded state as the outer collar slides forward. 4. The transforming dart mechanism as set forth in claim 3, further comprising a dart body positioned through the inner collar. 5. The transforming dart mechanism as set forth in claim 4, further comprising a dart tip attached with the dart body, the dart tip having suction cup and a cap member. 6. A transforming dart mechanism, comprising: a base adapted to attach with a dart body;an expansion component connected with the base, the expansion component formed to be positioned in a collapsed state and, upon hitting a target, moving into an expanded state;wherein the expansion component includes a plurality of fins that are pivotally connected with the base; andwherein the base further comprises:an inner collar, the inner collar having a hole therethrough to accommodate a dart body, wherein the inner collar further includes a spring recess and a plurality of collar knuckles;a spring positioned around the spring recess; andan outer collar, the outer collar being positioned around the inner collar, wherein the plurality of fins are pivotally connected with the outer collar. 7. The transforming dart mechanism as set forth in claim 6, wherein each of the plurality of fins includes a fin knuckle, the fin knuckles being formed to engage with the collar knuckles, such that when the tins are folded back into a collapsed state, the fin knuckles engage with the collar knuckles to force the outer collar back, whereby when the transforming dart mechanism is shot from a toy dart gun and hits a target, forward momentum force causes the fins to deploy forward, with the collar knuckles also engaging with the fin knuckles to assist the fins in folding out into the expanded state as the outer collar slides forward. 8. The transforming dart mechanism as set forth in claim 6, further comprising a dart body positioned through the inner collar. 9. A transforming dart mechanism, comprising: a base adapted to attach with a dart body;an expansion component connected with the base, the expansion component formed to be positioned in a collapsed state and, upon hitting a target, moving into an expanded state; anda dart tip attached with the dart body, the dart tip having suction cup and a cap member.
