Figurative toy missile

A soft toy figure having a humanoid or animal-like form and capable of functioning as a play missile, said figure comprising:

• (a) a weighted torso including a globular casing, whereby the torso, which is spherical, functions as a weighted ball having symmetrical flying characteristics;
• said torso being weighted by a rubber balloon disposed within the globular casing whose neck projects through a slit in the casing, the balloon being inflated by pressurized liquid fed into the balloon to cause it to engage and conform to the casing, the neck thereafter being tied to confine the liquid within the balloon;
• (b) a head formed by a bag attached to the upper end of the torso casing and filled with soft stuffing material, said bag being shaped to define the head of a humanoid or animal-like figure;
• (c) a pair of soft appendages attached to the lower end of the casing to define the legs and feet of a humanoid figure;
• (d) a pair of soft appendages attached to opposite sides of the casing to define the arms and hands of a humanoid figure or the forelegs of an animal-like figure, said figure being capable of being thrown as a missile by a player who grasps at least one of the appendages as a handle to hurl the weighted ball;
• and
• (e) a removable weighted accessory attachable to the figure to impart asymmetrical flying characteristics thereto, said accessory being a backpack having an inner pocket containing a balloon inflated with water to conform to said pocket and impart weight to the backpack.
