Abstract
A humanoid toy figure is constructed to fold from an erect posture to a curled, generally cylindrical configuration in which it will roll upon a flat surface. Desirable body features are afforded by molding the trunk member of the figure as separate lateral sections, and manufacture of the toy is relatively facile and inexpensive.
