A flip toy launcher comprising:
- a launcher having:
- an elongate handle having:
- a top end;
- and
- a bottom end, distal from the top end;
- a hook extending downwardly from the handle on a first side of the handle;
- and
- a head fixedly attached to the bottom end, the head comprising:
- a connector portion connected to the handle;
- a first free end portion extending from the connector portion away from the handle;
- and
- a second free end portion extending away from the handle, opposite from the first free end portion, wherein the second free end portion comprises a second end tip and a reverse hook extending upwardly from the second end tip toward the handle on the first side of the handle,
- wherein the head further comprises:
- a planar bottom surface extending from a free end of the first free end portion to a free end of the second free end portion;
- and
- the first free end portion comprises a top surface, proximate to the handle, the top surface comprising:
- a concave receiver located adjacent to the connector portion;
