A figure system includes a drive unit and a figure. The drive unit includes a plurality of first actuators. The figure includes a plurality of joints. The joints have one or more axial joint mechanisms. Drive force derived from at least one of the first actuators is transmitted to corresponding at least one of the axial joint mechanisms through a wire. The drive unit includes, as the plurality of first actuators, a plurality of servomotors having respective drive shafts. The figure includes coupler members having respective bearing holes. The bearing holes are detachably coupled to the respective drive shafts of the servomotors, or configured to be detachably coupled to the respective drive shafts of the servomotors. The wire has a first end coupled to corresponding one of the axial joint mechanisms, and a second end coupled to corresponding one of the coupler members.

This disclosure provides devices and methods for implementing a robotic doll head. An implementation of the doll head can have a face mask having a pair of integral eyelids and an eyeball actuation frame supporting a pair of moveable eye assemblies. Each moveable eye assembly can have an eyeball element and an eyelid actuator assembly. The eyelid actuator assembly can have an eyelid support that can be coupled to an interior surface of one integral eyelid of the pair of integral eyelids. The eyelid actuator assembly can have a drive band configured to magnetically couple to the eyelid support and move the drive band in an arcuate path to blink the integral eyelids. The moveable eye assemblies can be offset from a centerline of the doll head by a separation angle by the eyeball actuation frame.

The present disclosure relates to a bobblehead key chain. In one aspect, the bobblehead key chain includes a head having a top opening on an upper surface of the head, a bottom opening on a lower surface of the head, and a mounting feature located within an interior space of the head. The bobblehead key chain also includes a pivot mechanism disposed through the interior space of the head, where the pivot mechanism includes a spine that extends through the top opening of the head and an axle that extends from the spine. The axle is retained by the mounting feature. The bobblehead key chain may also include a connection feature at the top of the pivot mechanism to allow key rings, keys, or other objects to be attached to the bobblehead key chain. The bobblehead key chain may also include a body connected to the pivot mechanism.
