Abstract
A doll having a movable head, and articulated appendages movably attached to the doll'"'"'s torso. An actuator and a gear transmission system are operatively connected to one of the doll'"'"'s arms, for imparting incremental movement to the arm. The transmission can be placed in gear, or taken out of gear, by manually rotating the doll'"'"'s head. By placing the transmission in gear and manipulating the actuator, the transmission is activated so that the doll'"'"'s arm, and if desired, a light load placed in the doll'"'"'s hand, can be slowly raised to an elevated position. In addition, simulated battery pack inserts are positioned in one arm, a flexible skin-like covering stretchably fits over such arm, and a wide-angle lens is positioned in the doll'"'"'s head.
