       7 . The toy doll of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one arm is configured to be rotatable from a first play position to a second play position. 
   
   
       8 . The toy doll of  claim 8 , wherein the first play position the longitudinal axis of the arm is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the torso and in the second play position the longitudinal axis of the arm is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the torso. 
   
   
       9 . The toy doll of  claim 1 , further comprising a pair of arms each having a hand, each arm being configured to rotate from a first play position to a second play position, wherein in the first play position, the hands of each arm overlap each other. 
   
   
       10 . A toy doll comprising:
 a torso having a longitudinal axis lying in a first horizontal plane; and   a pair of arms having a longitudinal axis, each arm being pivotally attached to said torso and configured to be rotatable about its pivotal attachment point on a second plane substantially parallel to the first horizontal plane.   
   
   
       11 . The toy doll of  claim 10 , further comprising a head shell attached to said torso and configured for housing at least a movable eyelid piece, a movable jaw piece and at least one motor for operating said eyelid and jaw pieces. 
   
   
       12 . The toy doll of  claim 10 , further comprising an arm deployment mechanism for activating rotation of said pair of arms. 
   
   
       13 . The toy doll of  claim 12 , wherein the arm deployment mechanism comprises a button configured for activating a spring mechanism to cause rotation of said pair of arms arms. 
   
   
       14 . The toy doll of  claim 11 , further comprising a power source operably connected to the motor for energizing the motor. 
   
   
       15 . The toy doll of  claim 11 , further comprising a controller operably connected to the motor for controlling operation of the motor. 
   
   
       16 . The toy doll of  claim 15 , further comprising a speaker operably connected to the controller for generating sounds in accordance with the orientation of said at least one arm. 
   
   
       17 . The toy doll of  claim 11 , further comprising hair imparted with a thermochromic substance fixedly attached to said head shell. 
   
   
       18 . The toy doll of  claim 10 , wherein each arm is configured to be rotatable from a first play position to a second play position. 
   
   
       19 . The toy doll of  claim 18 , wherein the first play position the longitudinal axis of the arm is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the torso and in the second play position the longitudinal axis of the arm is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the torso. 
   
   
       20 . The toy doll of  claim 18 , wherein each arm includes a hand and wherein in the first play position, the hands of each arm overlap each other.
