Abstract
A figure toy which includes a unique actuating mechanism which cooperates with a novel shoulder assembly which allows the toy to emulate a shrug or a wave and to perform other functions of the same sort in a very realistic manner. The shoulder assembly includes a member which pivots about one end when it receives pressure from the actuating mechanism. The other end of the assembly is attached to an arm. Thus, the motion of the shoulder assembly moves the shoulder upwardly and inwardly simulating very closely the raising of the human shoulder such as occurs during a shrug or a wave. The arrangement allows one or the other or both of the shoulders together to be raised.
