Abstract

Doll with head turning mechanism including a pair of opposed doll heads mounted on an upper plate mounted rotatably in an upper or neck opening provided on the trunk portion of the doll. The trunk portion is provided with openable and closeable internal cavity providing apparatus. One doll head is normally exposed and the other doll head is normally received and concealed in the internal cavity. Upon the operator of the doll rotating the normally exposed head, the normally exposed head is rotated, received and concealed in the internal cavity and the normally concealed head is rotated into an exposed position. The upper plate and the cavity providing apparatus are provided with engageable members which engage upon the doll heads being reversed and prevent the upper plate from rotating and returning the doll heads to their original positions under the influence of a bias member which biases the upper plate to normally maintain the doll heads in their original positions.
