Abstract
The figure system includes: a plurality of drive units each including an actuator that generates rotative force; and a figure including a plurality of movable mechanisms and a plurality of flexible wires. The movable mechanisms each include a movable body that operates by the rotative force and an operation amount detector that detects an amount of operation of the movable body. The flexible wires include their respective first ends that are coupled to the movable bodies. The rotative force generated by one of the actuators is transmitted to corresponding one of the movable bodies through one of the flexible wires.
