Abstract

The present invention is a plush toy figurine (12) incorporating a motion-generating apparatus (14) activated by a sound sensing transducer (22) for shaking the figurine (12). The figurine (12) is fastened to and encased in a cage (70) having a curved base (72) such that the cage (70) rocks back and forth whenever the figurine (12) shakes. In another embodiment the figurine (12) hangs from a rod (74) whereupon the figurine swings back and forth whenever the motion generating apparatus (14) is activated. In both embodiments, shaking of the figurine (12) is accompanied by sound generated through a speaker (20) incorporated in the figurine (12).
