An animatronic doll having a motor, a head frame pivotally mounted to a neck carrier, a bevel gear and a pinion gear connected to a head shaft, a first gear, and a second gear. The pinion gear is engaged with a rack of the head frame. The first gear is configured to be driven by the bevel gear and is rotatable between a first position, a second position, and a third position. The first gear does not drive the second gear when the first gear is rotated between the first position and the second position. The first gear drives the second gear when the first gear is rotated between the second position and the third position. Rotation of the head shaft rotates the pinion gear and pivots the head frame. Rotation of the second gear may rotate arms of the doll. The arms may include friction clutches.

In an aspect, a toy assembly is provided and includes a housing and an inner object inside the housing. The inner object includes a breakout mechanism that includes a hammer and an actuation lever. The hammer is movable between a retracted position in which the hammer is spaced from the housing and an advanced position in which the hammer is positioned to break the housing. The actuation lever is pivotable from a hammer retraction position towards a hammer driving position so as to drive the hammer towards the advanced position.

In an aspect, a toy character assembly is provided, and includes a housing, a toy character, at least one sensor and a controller. The toy character is positioned inside the housing and includes a breakout mechanism that is operable to break the housing to expose the toy character. The at least one sensor detects interaction with a user. The controller is configured to determine whether a selected condition has been met based on at least one interaction with the user, and to operate the breakout mechanism to break the housing to expose the toy character if the condition is met. Optionally, the condition is met based upon having a selected number of interactions with the user.

An animal tail-wagging simulation device includes a housing, a circuit board mounted in the housing and provided with a driving coil, and a swinging arm pivotably coupled with the housing via a shaft. The swinging arm has an upper U-shaped portion. The driving coil is disposed in a middle of the U-shaped portion. Two sides of the U-shaped portion are provided respectively with two permanent magnets. When the driving coil is energized, electromagnetic field is generated and interacts with the permanent magnets to drive the swinging arm to swing. A swinging unit is provided at a lower end of the swinging arm. The swinging unit includes a swinging plate pivotably coupled with the swinging arm, and an adjustable counterweight.

One or more methods, apparatuses, and/or systems are disclosed herein for selectively grasping one or more target objects. The apparatus includes a string and a winding mechanism. The winding mechanism is configured to selectively unwind and wind the string, wherein a first portion of the apparatus is configured to be separated from a second portion of the apparatus when the string is unwound and wherein the first and second portions are configured to be adjacent to one another when the string is wound. A plurality of members are pivotally mounted to the apparatus and operably coupled to the winding mechanism, wherein the plurality of members are configured to grasp an object responsive to actuation of a button that is located within an area defined by the plurality of members.

Disclosed are a movement structure and a pull-to-suck-and-lick massage apparatus with the movement structure. The movement structure includes a rotating motor, a rotating seat, and a positioning shell. The rotating motor is provided with a rotating shaft extending upwards. The rotating seat is connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating seat is provided with a driving shaft that deviates from an axis. The driving shaft extends obliquely upwards towards a direction of the axis. The positioning shell is detachably mounted at a position of an upper end of the rotating motor. The positioning shell is provided with pivot seats. The pivot seats are pivotally provided with a swinging shaft. Reciprocating pulling and gentle licking and squeezing of the tongue are realized through an elastic rod body and an elastic simulated tongue, which effectively improves the user experience of the massage apparatus.

There is provided a robot device including: a head portion coupled to a trunk; four leg portions on a front left, a front right, a rear left, and a rear right coupled to the trunk; a first indirect portion that tilts the head portion left and right; and a second joint portion that rotates, with respect to the trunk, one of the leg portions on the rear left and the rear right to a front side, and the other to a rear side. It is possible to faithfully reproduce the movement of the four-legged animal by providing the first joint portion and the second joint portion.
