Abstract
Structure for attaching arms and legs to the seamless torso skin of a soft doll includes a circular plug, having an annular groove extending around its circumference, which is placed inside the skin at a hip or shoulder location and there held in place by a locking disk having a circular flange which is pushed over the exterior surface of the skin and engages the annular groove of the interior plug and traps the body skin between the plug and the disk. The locking disk has an annular groove formed therein for receiving a complementarily shaped and dimensioned circular flange formed at the proximal end of a hollow limb member, whereby the limb member is rotatable with respect to the torso on mating bearing surfaces both formed of relatively durable materials.
