This is a traditional dancing toy, printed in one.go. The joints are very loose so that it moves freely.
I have made a few improvements in JigDoll5-Heel. The main change was to add a heel to the foot so he could do some of the clever tricks Jeff Warner shows online. Sadly it doesn't really work - it needs a radical change of shape, and I quite like his big feet.
To use it, you'll need a springy board and some 9mm dowel (fettled a little for a good fit). Search online for film of them in the hands of good players.
In Faberdashery's Orange Juice pla it looks like a cheese flavoured potato snack . . . a dancing cheese flavoured potato snack.
Jig-Dolls were widespread in the UK and parts of the USA. Kids love them and they make everyone smile, but they can easily steal the attention from a great musical performance, so use them sensitively.
Traditionally they are given a name. This is version 5, so a name beginning with "V" would be nice (Keep "Vi..." names for version 6).
