Abstract: In manufacturing a toy doll conventionally, for instance, a front half constituting one half of a doll body, a rear half constituting the other half of a doll body and a set of head, hands and legs connected by a molding gate are molded separately. Thereafter, the head, hands and legs are separated from the gate one by one; the separated parts are independently arranged between the two halves one by one before fixing the two halves with the parts sandwiched therebetween. To improve the productivity, the various parts are molded, in connection with plural molding gates, at such positions that these parts are appropriately supported by and/or engageable with the front and rear halves. Therefore, it is possible to assemble the plastic toy doll immediately without separating various parts one by one from the gate before assembling the toy doll. The molding gates may be broken, after assembling, by twisting the hands or legs.

A waist-securement loop is connected to the upper ends of said leg-brace elements for their mutual securement to the torso of the doll and for maintaining the leg base elements along the doll's legs for preventing bending. With the stand used, the doll is maintained in a stiff-legged position for causing it to remain standing.

Abstract: An articulated toy figure, which does not require manual assembly of individual elements, is made by injection molding a frame using a first set of mold inserts. The frame includes elements that are joined together by breakable portions and that provide half hinges. The frame is left in the mold while the first set of inserts is replaced by a second set configured to produce completion elements around the frame. These completion elements span the individual elements of the frame and complete the half joints provided thereby. The frame elements, along with the completion elements molded around them, result in an automatically assembled figure produced by two molding operations. If desired, the figure can be painted before it is flexed to break the breakable portions of the frame in order to yield a fully mobile articulated toy figure.
