Abstract
An animatronic figurine includes a base portion configured to be placed upon a surface, a body portion, and a head portion. A first pivoting assembly is configured to allow the body portion to pivot about a first axis and a second axis with respect to the base portion. A second pivoting assembly is configured to allow the head portion to pivot about at least a third axis with respect to the body portion. One or more motor assemblies are configured to facilitate one or more of: the pivoting of the body portion about the first axis with respect to the base portion, the pivoting of the body portion about the second axis with respect to the base portion, and the pivoting of the head portion about the third axis with respect to the body portion.
