Doll with externally actuated functions

   
   

A doll in combination with a toy toilet the doll having a reservoir contained within the torso that can be filled with liquid through a mouth. The reservoir is in communication with a nozzle having an orifice which is sealable with a magnetic valve assembly. The magnetic valve assembly is defined by a hollow valve housing with a top portion secured to the bottom section of the reservoir, a central opening in the top portion, and longitudinal grooves on the inside surface of the housing. A magnetic piston is slidably received within the valve housing, however, the longitudinal grooves permit liquid within the reservoir to travel past the magnetic piston. A valve ball is secured to the magnetic piston, and a spring positioned within the valve housing biases the magnetic piston out of the valve housing such that the valve ball creates a fluid tight seal against the nozzle sealing the orifice, preventing liquid from exiting the doll. The toy toilet includes an opening positioned under the seat and a piece of stretched material covering the opening that creates a sound when liquid falls onto the material, and a repelling magnet to repel the magnetic piston out of position, temporarily breaking the fluid tight seal such that liquid within the reservoir is able to travel through the orifice and discharge from the doll onto the stretched material creating simulated sounds.
