Abstract
A figurative flying disc toy constituted by an inverted plastic dish having a convex annular rim and soft appendages hinged thereto to impart to the toy the form of a humanoid figure. Each appendage is composed of a fabric pouch stuffed with compressible material, the pouch being shaped and printed to simulate in one appendage the head of the figure and in the other appendages, the arms and legs thereof. To launch the toy, a player grasps one of the appendages which then serves as a handle, and with a flick of the wrist to cause the disc to whirl, the disc is hurled into the air and let fly. The centrifugal forces produced in the flight by the whirling disc causes the hinged appendages to extend outwardly to stabilize the flight.
