Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




The present invention relates to a prayer doll toy structure, and more particularly to a prayer doll toy structure that may kneel on the pad, to simulate the human body to pray, thereby achieving an amusement effect.




2. Description of the Related Art




A conventional toy structure in accordance with the prior art cannot actually simulate the real action according to the pattern of the toy structure itself. Most of the toy structure can only provide a single playing effect, and the manufacturer does not pay attention to the quality of the toy structure so that it is difficult to enhance the value of the toy structure. In addition, the conventional toy cannot enhance the true activity and mobility of its head, hands, and the like, thereby greatly limiting the versatility of the conventional toy.
