Abstract
Abstract A figure toy constructed to simulate a living creature, such as an animal. In a preferred form the figure toy has a torso and flexible appendages simulating arms and legs. The appendages are of flexible material with ends which are weighted, preferably being in the form of envelopes containing relatively heavier comminuted material. The appendages may resemble arms and legs. Because of their flexibility and end sections the toy can be suspended in many different positions by way of its appendages with the end sections being placed on or over a surface. The toy is susceptible of being manipulated into contortions and in this respect having extraordinary versatility and resultant play value.
