[Figure 6] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a state when the hand part is rotated. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential to the invention. Two or more features among the multiple features described in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. In addition, the same reference numbers are used for the same or similar configurations, and duplicated descriptions are omitted.

[0010] (1. Overall structure of the doll body) 1 shows the overall configuration of a doll body 1 according to an embodiment. The doll body 1 has a head part 11, a torso part 12, a waist part 13, a leg part 14, and an arm part 15 as part parts representing individual parts. These parts 11 to 15 may be collectively referred to as part parts. For example, the leg part 14 is provided rotatably relative to the waist part 13, and the arm part 15 is provided rotatably relative to the torso part 12.

[0011] The above-mentioned body part parts 11 to 15 may be further divided. Although details will be described later, the leg part 14 includes a knee part 141, a thigh part 142, a lower leg part 143, and a foot part 144. The arm part 15 includes an elbow part 151, an upper arm part 152, a forearm part 153, and a hand part 154. In Fig. 1, the leg part 14 and arm part 15 on the left side are illustrated, but the same applies to the right side.

[0012] In this specification, when explaining the positional relationship of each part, terms such as front, rear, left, right, up, down, inside, and outside may be used, but these terms are relative to the doll body 1. For example, the front corresponds to the front side of the doll body 1, and the rear corresponds to the back side of the doll body 1.

[0013] Each of the above-mentioned region parts 11 to 15 (including parts 141 to 144, 151 to 154) can be configured by connecting one or more parts (constituent parts) to each other. For example, the leg part 14 (parts 141 to 144) is configured by connecting multiple constituent parts directly / indirectly, more specifically, by connecting two adjacent constituent parts fixedly or rotatably (or swingably). Similarly, for example, the arm part 15 (parts 151 to 154) is configured by connecting multiple constituent parts directly / indirectly.

[0014] The concept of connection between parts may include various connection modes, such as attaching, connecting, and fixing one part to another part. For ease of understanding, expressions conforming to the embodiments are used in this specification, but the present invention is not strictly limited to those expressions (the expressions may be replaced with similar expressions). The same applies to other expressions.

[0015] In this specification, each component of the doll body 1 is expressed as a "part", but the concept of a part includes not only the smallest unit that a user can disassemble, but also a combination of two or more of them. Therefore, the expression "part" in the following description may be replaced with "component, piece", "member", "structure", "assembly", etc., or may be omitted. For example, the leg part 14 may be expressed as a leg part, leg member, leg structure, leg assembly, etc., or may simply be expressed as a leg. Similarly, the arm part 15 may be expressed as an arm part, arm member, arm structure, arm assembly, etc., or may simply be expressed as an arm. The same applies to other parts.

[0016] (2. Regarding leg parts) 2 shows an exploded schematic diagram of a knee part 141, a thigh part 142, and a lower leg part 143 out of the multiple parts that form the leg part 14. The knee part 141 includes parts 141A to 141D. The thigh part 142 includes parts 142A to 142L. The lower leg part 143 includes parts 143A to 143H. For ease of understanding, the connections between these parts are shown by dashed lines in the drawing.

[0017] (2-1. Composition of knee parts) The part 141A is a thigh holding part capable of holding the thigh part 142. The part 141A extends into the thigh part 142 and supports the thigh part 142, and therefore may be referred to as a thigh supporting part, a thigh skeleton part, or the like.

[0018] The part 141B is a lower leg holding part capable of holding the lower leg part 143. The part 141B extends into the lower leg part 143 and supports the lower leg part 143, and therefore may be referred to as a lower leg supporting part, a lower leg skeleton part, or the like.

[0019] The parts 141C and 141D are connected to each other to form a pair of clamping parts that rotatably clamp the parts 141A and 141B. In this configuration, the thigh part 142 rotates when the part 141A rotates relative to the parts 141C and 141D, and the lower leg part 143 rotates when the part 141B rotates. From this perspective, the parts 141C and 141D may be referred to as knee body parts or the like.

[0020] (2-2. Thigh part configuration) Part 142A is a thigh internal structure inner part that constitutes part of the inner side of the internal structure of thigh part 142. Part 142B is a thigh internal structure outer part that constitutes part of the outer side of the internal structure of thigh part 142. Parts 142A and 142B are connected to each other. As will be described in detail later, parts 142A and 142B are held so as to be rotatable with respect to parts 141C and 141D and so that the range of motion (movable range) due to the rotation is limited by inserting part 141A through them.

[0021] Part 142C is a thigh exterior part that forms a part of the exterior of thigh part 142, and can also be called a thigh inner exterior part that can be attached to part 142A. Part 142D is a thigh exterior part that forms another part of the exterior of thigh part 142, and can also be called a thigh outer exterior part that can be attached to part 142B. Parts 142C and 142D form a substantially continuous surface at the rear upper part of the thigh by being attached to parts 142A and 142B, respectively, and therefore can be collectively called thigh upper rear parts.

[0022] The part 142E is a thigh exterior part that forms another part of the exterior of the thigh part 142, and can form a substantially continuous surface with the parts 142C and 142D below, so it can also be called a thigh rear lower part. As will be described in detail later, the part 142E is rotatably sandwiched between the parts 142C and 142D.

[0023] Part 142F is a thigh exterior part that forms another part of the exterior of thigh part 142, and can be attached to the upper outer wall parts of parts 142A and 142B from the front, so it can also be called a thigh front upper part. Part 142G is a thigh exterior part that forms another part of the exterior of thigh part 142, and can be attached to part 141A below part 142F from the front, so it can also be called a thigh front lower part. Although details will be described later, parts 142F and 142G can form a substantially continuous surface.

[0024] The part 142H is a thigh exterior part that forms another part of the exterior of the thigh part 142, and is configured to be able to be locked by the parts 142C and 142D. The part 142H is located above the parts 142C and 142D at the rear of the doll body 1, and therefore can also be called a buttocks part.

[0025] Parts 142I-142K realize the hip joint structure of the doll body 1. Part 142I supports part 142B from above. Part 142J is connected to part 142I so as to be rotatable in the left-right direction (or inward-outward direction). Part 142K is connected to part 142J so as to be rotatable in the front-back direction. Part 142K is also connected to waist part 13 on the side opposite part 142J. With this structure, leg part 14 is held rotatable in the front-back direction and / or left-right direction with respect to waist part 13.

[0026] Part 142L is a thigh exterior part that forms another part of the exterior of thigh part 142, and is held rotatably from below relative to part 142J on the inside of the upper thigh. Details will be described later, but part 142L can also be said to be an upper inner thigh part located more inside than part 142A, and can also be said to be a sealing part that seals the internal structure so that it cannot be seen from the outside.

[0027] (2-3. Composition of the lower leg parts) Part 143A is a lower leg exterior part that forms a part of the exterior of lower leg part 143, and can also be called an inner upper part of the lower leg because it is attached to the upper inside of part 141B. Part 143B is a lower leg exterior part that forms another part of the exterior of lower leg part 143, and can also be called an outer upper part of the lower leg because it is attached to the upper outside of part 141B. Parts 143A and 143B are connected to each other, and form a substantially continuous surface at their rear parts, presenting a region equivalent to the calf.

[0028] The part 143C is a lower leg exterior part that forms another part of the exterior of the lower leg part 143, and can also be called a lower leg part because it is engaged with the lower part of the part 141B. The part 143D is connected to the part 143C from below, and although a description thereof is omitted here, it rotatably supports the foot part 144 (see FIG. 1).

[0029] The part 143E is a lower leg exterior part that forms part of the exterior of the lower leg part 143, and since it is attached to the upper front part of the part 141B, it can also be called the upper front part of the lower leg.

[0030] Parts 143F to 143H are decorative parts attached to part 143E. Part 143F is attached to part 143E from the front. Part 143G is attached to part 143F from above so as to be rotatable. Part 143H is attached to the inner wall of part 143G.

[0031] Although each of the parts constituting the leg part 14 has been described individually here, some of these parts may be integrally formed. For example, two parts that are fixedly connected to each other and do not change their relative positions (parts 142B and 142I, parts 143G and 143H, etc.) may be integrally molded.

[0032] (3. Rotation of leg parts) Fig. 3(A) shows a partial cross-sectional view in a side view of the leg part 14 in an extended state (with the lower leg part 143 in the forward position of its range of motion). Fig. 3(B) similarly shows a partial cross-sectional view of the leg part 14 in a partially rotated state (with the knee part 141 and the lower leg part 143 rotated backward with respect to the thigh part 142). Fig. 3(C) similarly shows a partial cross-sectional view of the leg part 14 in a bent state (with the lower leg part 143 in the backward position of its range of motion).

[0033] For ease of understanding, in the drawing, the actual structure of the lower leg part 143 is shown, the outlines of parts 141C (or 141D) and 142 are shown by dashed lines, and the cross-sectional structures of parts 141A, 142E, and 142G are shown.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 3(A) to FIG. 3(C), the part 141A includes a first extension 141A1 and a second extension 141A2 extending into the thigh part 142. The first extension 141A1 is provided so as to be engageable with a part 142E that is rotatably sandwiched between parts 142C and 142D. The second extension 141A2 is provided in front of the first extension 141A1, and a part 142G is attached to the second extension 141A2. The part 141A is provided with a substantially elliptical opening 142A3, and the above-mentioned parts 142A and 142B (see FIG. 2) are inserted and held through this opening part 141A3. The part that connects the parts 142A and 142B and through which the opening part 141A3 is inserted is shown as part 91 in the drawings.

[0035] According to this configuration, the parts 142A and 142B are held rotatably relative to the parts 141C and 141D, and the range of motion due to the rotation is limited by inserting them through the opening 142A3. Therefore, the range of motion of the thigh part 142 relative to the knee part 141 is narrower than the range of motion of the lower leg part 143 relative to the knee part 141.

[0036] Here, consider the case where the state of FIG. 3(A) is changed to the state of FIG. 3(B), that is, where the thigh part 142 is rotated relative to the knee part 141 in a direction approaching the lower leg part 143. In this case, the first extension part 141A1 is separated from the inner wall of the part 142E as the thigh rear lower part. Therefore, the part 142E can be recessed with respect to the outer shape of the parts 142C and 142D as the thigh rear upper part. On the other hand, the part 142G as the thigh front lower part is attached to the second extension part 141A2. Therefore, in this case, the part 142G is raised with respect to the outer shape of the part 142F as the thigh front upper part.

[0037] 3(C) from the state of Fig. 3(B), that is, the case where the lower leg part 143 is rotated to a position where the rear part of the lower leg part 143 comes into contact with part 142E as the thigh rear lower part. As described above, in the state of Fig. 3(B), part 142E is recessed relative to the external shapes of parts 142C and 142D as the thigh rear upper parts, so that when the rear part of the lower leg part 143 comes into contact with part 142E, part 142E is recessed due to the pressure caused by the contact.

[0038] Therefore, such a structure increases the range of motion of the lower leg part 143, making it possible to form a posture in which the lower leg part 143 and the thigh part 142 are in close contact with each other (for example, a sporty posture such as a crouching pose).

[0039] Next, consider the case where the state of FIG. 3(C) is returned to the state of FIG. 3(A), that is, the case where the thigh part 142 is rotated relative to the knee part 141 in a direction away from the lower leg part 143. In this case, the first extension part 141A1 contacts the inner wall of the part 142E as the thigh rear lower part and presses the inner wall. Therefore, the part 142E is pushed outward, thereby forming a continuous surface with the parts 142C and 142D as the thigh rear upper part. On the other hand, the part 142G as the thigh front lower part is attached to the second extension part 141A2. Therefore, in this case, the part 142G forms a continuous surface with the part 142F as the thigh front upper part.

[0040] Fig. 4(A) shows the hip joint structure (parts 142I-142K) of the doll body 1 and the surrounding parts of the thigh part 142 in a closed-leg posture. Fig. 4(B) shows the open-leg posture in which the thigh part 142 has been rotated in the direction of arrow A11 from the state shown in Fig. 4(A).

[0041] As described above, part 142L is rotatably held from below relative to part 142J on the inside of the upper thigh, and the internal structure is sealed inside part 142A so that it cannot be seen from the outside. Here, in the closed-leg posture (see FIG. 4(A)), most of part 142L is stored in parts 142C and 142F. On the other hand, in the open-leg posture (see FIG. 4(B)), part 142L rotates in the direction of arrow A12 and is partially exposed by its tip portion sliding while engaging with part 142A (and 142C) (i.e., even in the open-leg posture, the tip portion of part 142L is located inside part 142A), and accordingly, it protrudes outward.

[0042] Generally, a gap may be formed between two parts that can rotate relative to each other to prevent interference between them, and the internal structure may be visible through the gap. According to the above-mentioned configuration, even in the spread-leg posture, part 142L seals the internal structure inside part 142A so that it cannot be seen from the outside, which may be advantageous in improving the design of doll body 1.

[0043] (4. Summary of leg parts configuration) One of the site parts constituting the doll body 1 according to the embodiment is the leg part 14, which includes a knee part 141, a thigh part 142, and a lower leg part 143. The thigh part 142 is rotatable relative to the knee part 141, and in this embodiment, includes a thigh rear upper part (parts 142C and 142D) and a thigh rear lower part (part 142E). The lower leg part 143 is rotatable relative to the knee part 141, and is attached to the knee part 141 so as to be rotatable to a position where the rear part of the lower leg part 143 contacts the thigh rear lower part part (part 142E). In this embodiment, the range of motion of the thigh part 142 relative to the knee part 141 is narrower than the range of motion of the lower leg part 143 relative to the knee part 141.

[0044] Here, the thigh rear lower part (part 142E) is held so that the following is established. That is, when the thigh part 142 is rotated relative to the knee part 141 in a direction to approach the lower leg part 143, the thigh rear lower part (part 142E) can be recessed into the thigh rear upper part (parts 142C and 142D). Also, when the thigh part 142 is rotated relative to the knee part 141 in a direction to move away from the lower leg part 143, the thigh rear lower part (part 142E) forms a continuous surface with the thigh rear upper part (parts 142C and 142D).

[0045] In this embodiment, the knee part 141 includes a first extension part 141A1 that extends into the thigh part 142. When the thigh part 142 is rotated relative to the knee part 141 in a direction approaching the lower leg part 143, the first extension part 141A1 moves away from the inner wall of the thigh rear lower part (part 142E), thereby allowing the thigh rear lower part (part 142E) to be recessed into the thigh rear upper parts (parts 142C and 142D). Furthermore, when the thigh part 142 is rotated relative to the knee part 141 in a direction away from the lower leg part 143, the first extension part 141A1 comes into contact with the inner wall of the thigh rear lower part (part 142E) so as to press against it, and as a result, the thigh rear lower part (part 142E) forms a continuous surface with the thigh rear upper part (parts 142C and 142D). With this configuration, when the thigh part 142 is rotated, the above-mentioned aspect of the thigh rear lower part (part 142E) (i.e., the thigh rear lower part (part 142E) forms a recess in the thigh rear upper part (parts 142C and 142D) and the formation of a continuous surface with the thigh rear upper part (parts 142C and 142D)) can be appropriately realized.

[0046] According to this embodiment, it is possible to realize a doll body 1 capable of forming a posture (for example, a sporty posture such as a crouching pose) in which the lower leg part 143 and the thigh part 142 are closely attached by expanding the range of motion of the lower leg part 143. Therefore, according to this embodiment, it is advantageous for diversifying the postures that the doll body 1 can form.

[0047] In this embodiment, the thigh part 142 further includes a thigh front upper part (part 142F) and a thigh front lower part (part 142G). The thigh front lower part (part 142G) is held so that the following is established. That is, when the thigh part 142 is rotated relative to the knee part 141 in a direction to approach the lower leg part 143, the thigh front lower part (part 142G) protrudes relative to the thigh front upper part (part 142F). When the thigh part 142 is rotated relative to the knee part 141 in a direction to move away from the lower leg part 143, the thigh front lower part (part 142G) forms a continuous surface with the thigh front upper part (part 142F).

[0048] In this embodiment, the knee part 141 further includes a second extension 141A2 that extends into the thigh part 142. The thigh front lower part (part 142G) is held by this second extension 141A2. With this configuration, when the thigh part 142 is rotated, the above-mentioned aspect of the thigh front lower part (part 142G) (i.e., the thigh front lower part (part 142G) protrudes from the thigh front upper part (part 142F) and forms a continuous surface with the thigh front upper part (part 142F)) can be appropriately realized. As a result, it becomes possible to express the degree of tension of the thigh when the lower leg part 143 and the thigh part 142 are brought close to each other (an aspect similar to the movement of the muscles of the human body), which can be further advantageous in diversifying the postures that the doll body 1 can form.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the part 141A is provided with the extensions 141A1 and 141A2 separately, thereby making it possible to prevent interference with other parts. In another embodiment, the extensions 141A1 and 141A2 may be provided as a single extension.

[0050] (5. About the arm parts) 5 shows an exploded schematic diagram of elbow part 151, forearm part 153, and hand part 154, among the multiple parts that form arm part 15. Elbow part 151 includes parts 151A to 151D. Forearm part 153 includes parts 153A to 153H. Hand part 154 includes parts 154A to 154C. For ease of understanding, the connections between these parts are shown by dashed lines in the drawing.

[0051] (5-1. Elbow part configuration) The part 151A is an upper arm holding part capable of holding the upper arm part 152. The part 151A extends into the upper arm part 152 and supports the upper arm part 152, and therefore may be referred to as an upper arm supporting part, an upper arm skeletal part, or the like.

[0052] Part 151B is a forearm holding part capable of holding forearm part 153, and includes an axis part 151B1 for achieving this holding, as will be described in detail later. Part 151B extends into forearm part 153 to support forearm part 153, and may therefore be referred to as a forearm supporting part, a forearm skeletal part, or the like.

[0053] Parts 151C and 151D are connected to each other to form a pair of clamping parts that rotatably clamp parts 151A and 151B. In this configuration, upper arm part 152 rotates when part 151A rotates relative to parts 151C and 151D, and forearm part 153 rotates when part 151B rotates. From this perspective, parts 151C and 151D may be referred to as elbow main body parts or the like.

[0054] (5-2. Configuration of forearm parts) Part 153A is a connection part for connecting forearm part 153 to part 151B from below, and includes a ring part 153A1 and a holding part (or shaft part) 153A2 for allowing a part of forearm part 153 to rotate. Although details will be described later, part 153A is rotatably held by inserting shaft part 151B1 of part 151B through ring part 153A1.

[0055] Part 153B is configured so that ring portion 153A1 of part 153A can be fitted into its inner wall, and is connected to part 151B from below (shaft portion 151B1 is inserted through part 153B together with ring portion 153A1, thereby connecting them). Part 153C is a decorative part that can be attached to part 153B from the outside. Parts 153B and 153C form part of the exterior of forearm part 153 as forearm exterior parts, and since they are located on the torso 12 side (inside), they can also be called forearm inside parts.

[0056] Part 153D is a forearm exterior part that forms another part of the exterior of forearm part 153, and is connected to part 153B. Although details will be described later, part 153D is provided with a notch 153D1 for allowing a part of forearm part 153 to be rotatable, and part 153A is held such that holding part 153A2 is inserted through notch 153D1.

[0057] Part 153E is held by holding portion 153A2 on the opposite side of part 153D from part 153A. Part 153F is a decorative part that can be attached from the outside to part 153E. Parts 153E and 153F form another part of the exterior of forearm part 153 as forearm exterior parts, and since they are located on the opposite side (outside) from torso 12, they can also be called forearm outer part parts.

[0058] The outer shape of the forearm itself is substantially formed by parts 153B to 153D, and parts 153E and 153F can be said to form accessory equipment. Therefore, it is also possible to express part 153D as a forearm outer part, and parts 153E and 153F as equipment parts (for example, armor parts, shield parts, gauntlet parts, etc.) or decorative parts.

[0059] Parts 153G and 153H are decorative parts that are incidentally provided on the rear of the forearm. Part 153G is sandwiched between parts 153B and 153D, and part 153H is attached to the tip of part 153G.

[0060] (5-3. Composition of hand parts) Part 154A is a hand body part. Part 154B is a decorative part that is attached to part 154A and decorates a part of the back of the hand.

[0061] Parts 154C and 154D realize the wrist joint structure of the doll body 1. Part 154C connects part 154A to be rotatable in the wrist circumferential direction (direction d2 described below). Part 154D connects part 154C to be rotatable in the front-rear direction, and is connected to part 153B from below to be rotatable in the wrist circumferential direction. With this configuration, part 154A, which is a hand main body part, is held rotatable in the wrist circumferential direction and / or the front-rear direction. From this perspective, parts 154C and 154D can be collectively referred to as wrist parts.

[0062] Although the constituent parts of the arm part 15 have been described individually here, some of these may be integrally formed. For example, two parts that are fixedly connected to each other and do not change their relative positions (parts 153B and 153C, parts 154A and 154B, etc.) may be integrally formed.

[0063] (6. Rotation of arm parts) 6(A) and 6(B) are perspective views of the forearm part 153 and the hand part 154. Fig. 6(A) shows a state in which the part corresponding to the palm of the hand main body part part 154A faces inward (the same direction as parts 153B and 153C as the forearm exterior parts). Fig. 6(B) shows a state in which part 154A is rotated in the wrist circumferential direction so that the part corresponding to the palm faces backward.

[0064] For ease of understanding, in the drawing, the direction in which the forearm part 153 extends is shown as a first direction d1, and the circumferential direction (wrist circumferential direction) about the first direction d1 is shown as a second direction d2.

[0065] 5 together with Fig. 6(A) and Fig. 6(B), in the forearm part 153, the shaft part 151B1 of the part 151B is inserted through the ring part 153A1 of the part 153A. In this state, the ring part 153A1 is provided around the shaft part 151B1, and this allows the part 153A (and concomitantly the holding part 153A2) to rotate in the second direction d2.

[0066] Part 153D has a notch 153D1 for inserting holding part 153A2 so as to allow holding part 153A2 to rotate with the rotation of part 153A. Parts 153E and 153F as outer forearm parts are held at one end by part 154C and are held at the other end by holding part 153A2.

[0067] 6(B) from the state in Fig. 6(A), that is, when parts 154C and 154D are used as wrist parts to rotate hand part 154 in the direction of arrow A21 relative to forearm part 153. In this case, part 154C rotates in the direction of arrow A21 together with hand part 154, so that parts 153E and 153F connected to part 154C also rotate in the direction of arrow A21.

[0068] As described above, the part 153D is provided with a notch 153D1 to allow the holding part 153A2 of the part 153A to rotate. Therefore, with the rotation of the parts 153E and 153F, the holding part 153A2 that holds them also rotates in the direction of the arrow A21. That is, when the hand part 154 is rotated in the direction of the arrow A21 relative to the forearm part 153 by the parts 154C and 154D that realize the wrist joint structure, the parts 153E and 153F as the forearm outer part also rotate in the direction of the arrow A22 together with this rotation. In other words, it can be said that the parts 153E and 153F act as a rotating part that rotates together with the rotation of the hand part 154 in the forearm part 153.

[0069] Generally, when a human rotates their wrist, the forearm can also rotate partially, and with the above-mentioned configuration, such behavior can also be expressed with the doll body 1. Therefore, this embodiment is advantageous in diversifying the postures that the doll body 1 can assume.

[0070] (7. Summary of arm parts configuration) Another part constituting the doll body 1 according to the embodiment is the arm part 15, which includes an upper arm part 152, a forearm part 153, and a hand part 154. The forearm part 153 is rotatable relative to the upper arm part 152. The hand part 154 is rotatable relative to the forearm part 153. Here, the forearm part 153 includes a rotating part that rotates together with the rotation of the hand part 154 when it is rotated relative to the forearm part 153. In this embodiment, the forearm part 153 includes a forearm inner part (parts 153B and 153C) and a forearm outer part (parts 153E and 153F), and the forearm outer part (parts 153E and 153F) acts as the rotating part.

[0071] In this embodiment, the arm part 15 further includes an elbow part 151 that rotatably connects the upper arm part 152 and the forearm part 153 to each other. The hand part 154 includes a hand main body part (part 154A) and wrist parts (parts 154C and 154D) located on the forearm part 153 side, and is configured such that the hand main body part (part 154A) and the wrist parts (parts 154C and 154D) are rotatably connected to each other.

[0072] Here, the direction in which the forearm part 153 extends is the first direction d1, and the circumferential direction (wrist circumferential direction) about the first direction d1 is the second direction d2. The hand main body part (part 154A) is connected to the forearm part 153 so as to be rotatable at least in the second direction d2. The forearm outer part parts (parts 153E and 153F) are held at one end by the wrist part (parts 154C and 154D), and are held at the other end by the elbow part 151 so as to be rotatable in the second direction d2.

[0073] In this embodiment, elbow part 151 includes a first part (part 151A) that supports upper arm part 152, and a second part (part 151B) that supports forearm part 153 and is rotatable relative to the first part (part 151A). The second part (part 151B) includes a shaft 151B1 that extends in the first direction d1, and forearm outer parts (parts 153E and 153F) are held rotatably relative to the shaft 151B1. In addition, forearm part 153 further includes a connection part (part 153A) that connects shaft 151B1 and forearm outer parts (parts 153E and 153F). The connecting part (part 153A) includes a ring portion 153A1 that is circumferentially disposed around the shaft portion 151B1 so as to be rotatable in the second direction d2, and a holding portion 153A2 that extends from the ring portion 153A1 and holds the outer forearm part (parts 153E and 153F).

[0074] Generally, when a human rotates the wrist, the forearm can also rotate partially. According to this embodiment, such a state can be expressed with the doll body 1, which is advantageous in diversifying the postures that the doll body 1 can assume.

[0075] (8. Summary) According to the above embodiment, the doll body 1 is configured by directly / indirectly connecting each of the individual part parts to each other, and at least two of the multiple part parts are connected to be relatively rotatable relative to each other. In such a configuration, one part is configured to partially rotate, swing or deform when the other part is rotated. With such a structure, as can be seen from the leg parts 14 and arm parts 15 exemplified in this specification, for example, it becomes possible to take a more human-like posture or change the posture, which is advantageous for diversifying the postures that the doll body 1 can take.

[0076] The invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the gist of the invention. [Explanation of symbols]
