Abstract

An animatronic toy (1) comprises a support structure (8), a face (2) comprising a resilient skin (9), and drive means for moving the skin (9) relative to the structure (8) to give the face (2) the appearance of having a smile. The drive means is connected to first and second connection locations (69, 79) on the skin (9) which are spaced from one another. The drive means is arranged to controllably alter the spacing between the first and second connection locations (69, 79) so deforming the skin (9).
