Abstract:
A toy figure comprising:a body having a torso, defining a torso cavity and a head, defining a head cavity; a sound circuit having a stored plurality of audible sounds and an electro-acoustic transducer; a pair of arms slidably supported with said torso cavity by said torso each movable between an inward position and an outward position and each having an interior arm end, said interior arm ends each describing an arm end movement path between said inward and outward positions; a pair of legs slidably supported within said torso cavity by said torso each movable between an inward position and an outward position and each having an interior leg end, said interior leg ends each describing a leg end movement path between said inward and outward positions; a first pair of switches operatively coupled to said sound circuit, said first pair of switches supported within said torso cavity at positions proximate to said arm end movement paths causing said switches to be actuated by movement of said arms between said inward position and said outward position; a second pair of switches operatively coupled to said sound circuit, said second pair of switches supported within said torso cavity at positions proximate to said leg end movement paths causing said switches to be actuated by movement of said legs between said inward position and said outward position, said sound circuit responding to actuation of said switches in said first and second pairs of switches to produce audible sound.
