Abstract
Abstract A plurality of dolls are joined together in face to face relationship by attaching the extremities thereof together. The extremities are bendable to permit relative movement between each of the joined dolls. In one embodiment of the invention, the dolls are joined together in a manner to form a joint at the contiguous areas between the two dolls. In another embodiment of the invention, the legs and arms are sewn to one another and to the torso of each doll, to provide a joint at the location where each of the members are interconnected.
