1. An action figure for providing current to an electrical accessory with electrical contact points, comprising:

  • a hollow torso;

    a hollow pivoting limb abutting the torso;

    a first conductor pair comprised of a first and a second conductor within the torso;

    a second conductor pair comprised of a first and a second conductor within the hollow pivoting limb;

    a pair of conductive areas on the surface of the limb for contact with the electrical contact points of the accessory, the conductive areas in electrical communication with the second conductor pair; and

    a pivoting contact apparatus pivotingly coupling the limb to the torso and electrically coupling the first conductor pair to the second conductor pair, the pivoting contact apparatus comprising;

    a first disc-brush apparatus, comprising a disc in electrical communication with the first conductor of the first conductor pair, the disc rotatably in mechanical and electrical contact with a brush in electrical communication with the first conductor of the second conductor pair;

    a second disc-brush apparatus, comprising a disc in electrical communication with the second conductor of the first conductor pair, the disc rotatably in mechanical and electrical contact with a brush in electrical communication with the second conductor of the second conductor pair; and
