Abstract
A method for forming a safe molding material into an elastic doll head of a uniform thickness without deteriorating an appearance of the doll head. Split mold members ( ) each have an inner surface ( ) formed to have a configuration which provides a shape of a doll head (A) when the split mold members cooperate with each other. The split mold members ( ) form the doll head with a parting line ( ) in a manner to extend from an upper portion ( ) of a forehead of the doll head through a rear side ( ) of each of ears thereof to a rear portion ( ) of a neck thereof, to thereby substantially equally divide the doll head into two halves. A molding material mainly consisting of a thermoplastic synthetic resin elastomer is heated and dropped in the form of a parison ( ) into a space defined between the split mold members ( ) kept spaced from each other. Then, the split mold members ( ) are joined to each other and air is blown into the thus-joined split mold members. A neck hole ( ) is concurrently formed during the blow molding.
