Abstract
A figure toy or doll having a layered plastic skin including a molded soft, pliable outer skin exteriorly of a substantially rigid, molded inner skeletal shell, and a method for making the same. The figure toy includes a molded smooth, pliable outer skin covering defining the exterior surface and shape of the doll, which is bonded to a substantially rigid molded inner wall interiorly thereof, which provides support for the doll. The method includes the steps of coating the interior walls of a suitable mold cavity with a generally soft plastisol and gelling the plastisol by heating the mold cavity during rotation thereof to form a soft outer covering or skin; coating the interior of the skin with a second plastisol which will cure to form a rigid plastic skeleton to give support to said outer shell; pressurizing the mold cavity; and heat curing both the first and second plastisol during rotation of the mold cavity, then recovering the doll from the mold.
