Abstract
An actuated toy device including a recognizable character such as a Santa Claus doll reclining in a bed. The doll character chest portion is moved up and down vertically by a battery-powered gear unit through a first linkage mechanism provided in a housing attached below the bed, so as to simulate breathing action by the doll. The toy device includes an audio unit mounted in the housing. Also a second linkage mechanism is provided and arranged to periodically raise the doll head and torso portions upward from a reclining position to a near sitting position and then fall back to the reclining position in the bed.
