Abstract

A figure toy is disclosed including apparatus for retaining the eyes alternatively in an eye open position or an eye closed position. The toy includes eyeball means disposed behind eyeball openings in the head and are longitudinally moveable with respect to the toy to an eye open position or an eye closed position and means are provided for longitudinally moving the eyeball means alternatively to an eye open position or an eye closed position. The eyeball means are mechanically retained in an eye open position until the bladder, forming the body portion of the doll, is compressed thereby expanding a bellows to longitudinally move the eyeball means to a position above or below the eye openings in the doll's head to simulate an eye closed position. When the eyeball means are in an eye closed position, a pin member or other retaining means can be inserted into the doll's mouth to engage a pin receiving member structurally connected to the eyeball means to maintain the eyeball means in the eye closed position until the pin member is removed from the mouth. When the pin or other retaining means is removed, the eyeball means will revert to its naturally biased longitudinal position to again simulate an eye open position.
