ABSTRACT:
A figure configured in the shape of human or animal with multiple repositionable parts is disclosed. The figure is made of two kinds of soft resilient materials, one is of extra softness to be placed in the joint areas; the other is of average softness to be placed in all other areas. Coated on the surface of the figure is rubber or rubber-like resilient material which can be textured and colored. Running through the torso and various parts of the figure are single or multiple internal flexible wires or braided wires. Rigid bars are bonded to the internal flexible wires or braided wires in the nonflexible parts. By protruding rigid bars into a joint from both proximal and distal aspects of joint, and not bonding protruded parts of rigid bars to the internal flexible wires, one can restrict direction and range of the bendability of the joint. A coil encases the internal flexible wires or braided wires within the repositionable joints to extend the life of the internal flexible wires or braided wires.
