Pose and Play Dolls

A doll playset comprising:

• a console having a power supply and defining a platform on which a doll may stand, the platform being rotatable by a motor in the console powered by the power supply;
• and
• a doll, at least one foot of the doll and the platform having complementary magnetic members allowing the doll to removably stand on the platform without other support;
• the power supply also being coupled to electrical contacts in the platform, the doll having electrical contacts in at least one foot for coupling power to at least one electrically operated device in the doll when the doll is standing on the platform.

A doll playset comprising:

• a console having a power supply and a controller, the console having a platform on which a doll may stand, the platform being rotatable by a platform drive motor in the console, with position feedback, powered by the power supply and controlled by the controller;
• and
• a doll, feet of the doll and the platform having complementary magnetic members allowing the doll to removably stand on the platform without other support;
• the power supply being coupled to electrical contacts in the platform, the doll having electrical contacts in at least one foot for coupling power to at least one electrically operated device in the doll when the doll is standing on the platform;
• surfaces of the platform on which the feet may be magnetically retained (the foot surfaces) are each tiltable about a respective one of two axes, the two axes being in a plane substantially parallel to the remaining surface of the platform, whereby tilting the foot surfaces in unison with the doll standing on the platform may cause the dolls hips to move side to side;
• a cam coupled to tilt at least one of the foot surfaces on rotation of the platform;
• the platform drive motor and the animation motor being controlled by the controller to coordinate the motions of the two motors.
