(54) Toys


(57) A toy includes a plurality of portions adapted for articulation relative to each other. The toy has a skeleton for which there are at least skeleton members corresponding to each portion of the toy other than portions at the extremeties of the toy. The skeleton is moulded as a single integrated structure with each skeleton member generally rigidly connected to the or each neighbouring skeleton member by a respective relatively narrow breakable region. The toy additionally comprises, for each portion of the toy for which there is a corresponding skeleton member, a body member injection moulded generally around an end part of the corresponding skeleton member and also around the adjacent end part of each or any skeleton member to which the first mentioned end part is connected by one of the relatively narrow breakable regions. To complete the articulated toy, the various narrow breakable regions are broken after moulding of the body members.
