Abstract: A movable model of an animal is described in which a driving mechanism adapted to operate synchronously with generation of a sound by a control circuit is incorporated in a simulated animal-like body portion formed of a soft foamed urethane block which has been shaped to the external configuration of a human or animal, and an operating end of said driving mechanism is joined to a part of said soft foamed urethane block forming the body portion of the model so as to induce movement of the moving parts of said body portion.
