Oooo, I don't know, There are tutorials out there. But I'm my case I would say rig it and hand animate the main doll. Use the rag doll for the others. You learn a lot more when you hand animate something.

Also if you look at the animations for first robotics that explain the game. They aren't that detailed in their animation. You could get away with a generic shape of a doll and don't even have to skin it.
