Various toys simulating animal characters have appendages with inserts (8) therein which produce slow return motion of the appendages from positions to which they have been deformed to simulate a natural movement or gesture. The inserts (8) each comprises an elongate, tubular, resiliently compressible air bag (9) with an impermeable (air tight), skin of plastic or rubber, penetrated by a slow leak valve (10) formed as a small hole and stuffed with resiliently compressible synthetic fiber (14) or foam (16). In one example the air bag (9) is located in the body (1) of a doll to extend across the chest (5) and along respective arms (4), whereby a child can deform the arms (4) between open and closed positions, compressing the air bag (9) so that the resiliency returns the arms slowly to an undeformed position while producing a simulated natural gesture of affection such as giving or requesting a hug.
