Abstract: In various aspects, an actuator assembly configured to move a moveable leg or arm of a doll for dynamic movement is provided. The actuator assembly may comprise a proximal assembly and an intermediate assembly. The proximal assembly may include a proximal frame configured to pivot on a proximal axis, a proximal follower connector that is pivotably coupled to the proximal frame and configured to pivot on a proximal follower connector axis relative to the proximal frame, a coupler that is pivotably coupled to the proximal follower connector and configured to pivot on a first coupler axis relative to the proximal follower connector, and at least one proximal gear.

Abstract: A leg actuator mechanism, a method of manufacturing the leg actuator mechanism, and a doll implementing a leg actuator mechanism is provided. The leg actuator includes an upper leg mechanism comprising a hip end and an opposing knee end. The leg actuator also includes a lower leg mechanism comprising a first end and an opposing second end, wherein the first end of the lower leg portion is operably coupled to the knee end of the upper leg portion. The leg actuator further includes a follower mechanism. The follower mechanism includes a mounting defining a follower pathway configured to receive a follower joint. The follower mechanism also includes an upper follower connector and a lower follower connector. The follower mechanism moves at least one of the upper leg mechanism or the lower leg mechanism when activated.
