Abstract
A torsional joint armature for poseable figure is formed of a one-piece molded plastic material fabricated from a malleable nonelastic deformable material. The armature is articulated by a plurality of molded joints each of which includes one or more torsional deformation elements to provide the appropriate bending characteristics of the armature. Certain joints are provided with additional motion limiting webs to restrict joint motion in undesired directions.
