ABSTRACT:
An imitative figure apparatus includes a figure body with a body torso and a body head having a face portion with an illumination sheet of luminescent material for absorbing and storing ambient light energy and for producing illumination from the stored light energy, the sheet being oriented so that the produced illumination is directed forwardly from the figure; and a translucent cover secured over the illumination sheet, the translucent cover representing at least part of the face portion. The translucent cover preferably is configured as a dome having a dome apex. The apparatus additionally includes a mouth and nose representing structure secured to the exterior of the dome substantially at the dome apex. The dome has a dome inner surface which is frosted, and additionally includes eye representing structures having two eye support structures, each eye support structure being fitted with an eye disk for representing the pupil of an eye and which is visible through the dome; so that light emitted by the luminescent sheet enhances the visibility of the eye disks within the dome and also causes each eye disk to cast a shadow on the dome inner surface which appears from outside the dome to surround the eye disks and thus to represent eye whites around eye pupils. An electric light circuit is preferably provided for illuminating the face dome, and sound generating circuits preferably are provided which are activated by applying pressure to the figure mouth or squeezing the figure torso.
