Abstract
An articulated doll including an internal arrangement for allowing the doll to sit down from a standing position without the assistance of the doll user. With the doll in a standing position and the arms upright, the user rotates the arms to a down position and then releases the arms. After a predetermined time interval, the internal arrangement of the doll causes the doll to move from the standing position to a sitting position. When the doll is returned to a standing position, a control mechanism located on the doll torso is actuated to lock the legs of the doll to a standing position. The doll is also capable of being walked by the user holding the doll by the arms and alternately lifting one leg and then the other off the walking surface. The leg lifted from the walking surface pivots and the doll takes a step.
