Abstract: A system and method of making an at least partially customized figure emulating a subject is disclosed which involves obtaining at least two two-dimensional images of the face of the subject from different perspectives; and processing the images of the face with a computer processor to create a three dimensional model of the subject's face; scaling the three dimensional model and applying the three dimensional model to a predetermined template adapted to interfit with the head of a figure preform that comprises at least a head. The template is printed and installed on the head portion of the figure preform.

Abstract: An assembly for filling and emptying a liquid reservoir inside a doll, the assembly includes a valve for installation in an opening in the doll body that communicates with the reservoir, and a funnel adapted to cooperate with the valve member to allow liquid to be introduced into or removed from the reservoir. The the valve has a valve body with first and second ends, adapted to be installed in an opening in the doll body with the first end of the valve body extending into the reservoir. A valve passage extends through the valve body between the first and second ends. A valve member at the first end of the valve body is biased to close the valve passage. The funnel has a spout adapted to seat in the valve passage. The end of the spout is adapted to displace the valve member when the spout is seated in the valve passage to allow liquid to pass through the valve passage.
