Abstract
Abstract An articulated leg system for a toy figure is disclosed in which the configuration represents the legs of an athlete when dressed in appropriate colors representing a sports team. Cylindrical rods, representing the legs of the toy figure, are integrally molded with a major diameter section of the figure which is received in a body cavity. The major diameter section extends below the body cavity and represents the athletic shorts or apparel of the figure. Received on the rod sections of the legs are sleeve means which define an exposed thigh section, horizontal stripes of a sock, and the shin portion of a sock. The assembly representing the various elements is prevented from accidental disassembly by a foot portion which is received on a radial ball of the cylindrical rod and defines a universal joint.
