Abstract
A doll includes a body having an integrally formed upwardly extending attachment post. The attachment post defines a spherical surface joined to a ball end to define a narrow portion at the junction thereof. A doll head is formed of a flexible resilient material having an interior cavity and bottom surface. A recess and surrounding wall is formed in the bottom surface of the doll head and includes a tapered aperture and an inwardly extending edge. The doll head is assembled to the attachment post by forcing the ball end through the recess and tapered aperture such that the inwardly extending edge is received within the narrow portion of the attachment post.
