  • Publication number: 20060089079
    Abstract: A toy doll has a bone-like construction, wherein the toy doll can freely take a yieldable attitude even if its arm or its leg is deeply bent on its joint. The toy doll is equipped with an intermediate and auxiliary joint in the upper arm and in the thigh which does not exist in a human being. The toy doll can obtain any curving attitude either for maintenance or for release because of the flexibility of the intermediate and auxiliary joint located in an arm or leg bone.
