One of the limbs is jointed to provide a distal portion which is pivotal relative to a proximal portion. Pneumatic operating devices are provided for effecting the pivotal motion and these include an actuator which is manually operable and pneumatically connected to a pressure responsive member accommodated in the proximal limb portion. The actuator is a variable volume member such as a pressure bulb which may take the form of one of the other limbs of the doll. The pressure responsive member is connected to the distal limb portion by a connector in such a way that operation of the pressure responsive member by the actuator causes pivotal movement of the distal limb portion. In a preferred embodiment, the pressure responsive member is located in the upper portion of one of the arms and the movement of the lower arm effected thereby causes the lower arm to move towards the face and give the impression of blowing a kiss on its return movement. | |
