i have heared of them used, more often in a bear or cat tyoe creature that
can both stand and sit, plus og on all 4s without the head looking down at the floor !

is it created using a wedge shape 'neck' with a joint at either end?
are flat ends sewn on thatthe joint pokes thru ?

perhaps theres a tutotiral somewhere - but i sually just ask the basics
then dive in with a half guessed attempt !

I've never made one, but there is a tutorial type topic on here somewhere...

Basically it's like a wedge of mohair with two circular ends where they attatch to the head and body, that makes to neck more realistic, and when manipulated allows a bear to change its head position... Try these pages:
