ABSTRACT:
The invention is a plush toy formed by an outer casing sewn to form a body filled with a stuffing material and having a head or other appendage attached to the body along a major through-stitch at one edge of the body, wherein the major through-stitch excludes the stuffing material so that the head or appendage has great freedom of motion relative to the body about the major through-stitch. In a preferred embodiment, the major through-stitch is generally linear and oriented generally vertically between the head and body, thereby holding the head free to wag side to side relative to the body in a plane generally perpendicular to the stitch, and whereby oscillation of the body in a plane perpendicular to the stitch induces free wagging of the head about the major through-stitch. A massive secondary object may be attached to the head or appendage connected to the major through-stitch in order to exaggerate the free lateral motion and oscillation about the major through-stitch.
