This is a very interesting idea and would be very attainable with EZ-B. WHy it took this long to figure out who knows.
The idea is that without solid joints in a stuffed animal, strings can still allow the toy to appear to be alive. The toy can then keep its hug-able softness.
I love it! 
This is pretty great. May have to incorporate some of this into my project. Or at least attempt to.
