Projectile toy

Abstract

A projectile toy may include an elongate body that may extend from a forward end to a rearward end and have a length. The projectile toy may include an elongate sheet of material that may have a first end attached to a forward region of the elongate body. The elongate sheet of material may be longer than the elongate body and may extend from the first end to a distal end beyond the rearward end of the elongate body. The projectile toy may be configured as an action figure, which may include a body having shoulders and legs and an elongate sheet of material that may be attached to the body at the shoulders and may extend to beyond the legs.

1 . An action figure, comprising: 
 a body having shoulders and legs, the body having a length; and    an elongate sheet of material attached to the body at both the shoulders and the legs, the elongate sheet extending from the shoulders to beyond the legs, and the elongate sheet having a length greater than the length of the body.    
   
   
       2 . The action figure of  claim 1 , wherein the elongate sheet is at least twice the length of the body.  
   
   
       3 . The action figure of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the elongate sheet is wider than the body.  
   
   
       4 . The action figure of  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a flexible outer shell stuffed at least partially with a fibrous filler material.  
   
   
       5 . The action figure of  claim 4 , wherein the flexible outer shell comprises a plurality of fabric sections joined at sewn joints.  
   
   
       6 . The action figure of  claim 1 , wherein the elongate sheet of material comprises a fabric.  
   
   
       7 . The action figure of  claim 1 , wherein the body has a molded plastic head.  
   
   
       8 . The action figure of  claim 1 , wherein the body has at least one molded plastic hand.  
   
   
       9 . A projectile toy, comprising: 
 an elongate body extending from a forward end to a rearward end and having a length and a maximum width; and    an elongate sheet of material having a first end attached to a forward region of the elongate body and extending along the elongate body to a distal end beyond the rearward end of the elongate body, wherein a length of the elongate sheet from the first end to the distal end is greater than the length of the elongate body and the elongate sheet has at least one width that is greater than the maximum width of the elongate body.    
   
   
       10 . The projectile toy of  claim 9 , wherein at least a portion of the elongate body is configured to resemble at least a portion of a humanoid shape, wherein a rearward region of the elongate body comprises a pair of elongate members configured to resemble legs.  
   
   
       11 . The projectile toy of  claim 9 , wherein the length of the elongate sheet is at least twice the length of the elongate body.  
   
   
       12 . The projectile toy of  claim 9 , wherein the elongate body comprises a flexible outer shell stuffed with a filler material.  
   
   
       13 . The projectile toy of  claim 9 , wherein a rearward region of the elongate body is attached to the elongate sheet at a point intermediate the first end and the distal end.  
   
   
       14 . The projectile toy of  claim 9 , wherein the length of the elongate body is at least three times the maximum width of the elongate body.  
   
   
       15 . The projectile toy of  claim 9 , wherein the elongate sheet comprises first and second lateral edges extending between the first end and the distal end.  
   
   
       16 . A projectile toy, comprising: 
 an elongate body extending from a forward end to a rearward end and having a length; and    an elongate sheet of material having a first end attached to a forward region of the elongate body and extending along the elongate body to a distal end beyond the rearward end of the elongate body, wherein a length of the elongate sheet from the first end to the distal end is at least twice the length of the elongate body, wherein the elongate body includes at least one member that extends forward of the attachment of the elongate sheet to the elongate body.    
   
   
       17 . The projectile toy of  claim 16 , wherein the elongate body is configured to resemble a humanoid shape, and a rearward region of the elongate body is configured to resemble legs.  
   
   
       18 . The projectile toy of  claim 17 , wherein one or more of the at least one member is configured to resemble an outstretched arm.  
   
   
       19 . The projectile toy of  claim 18 , wherein at least a portion of the outstretched arm is at least partially fabricated from a molded plastic.  
   
   
       20 . The projectile toy of  claim 17 , wherein one or more of the at least one member is configured to resemble a head.  
   
   
       21 . The projectile toy of  claim 20 , wherein at least a portion of the head is at least partially fabricated from a molded plastic.  
   
   
       22 . The projectile toy of  claim 16 , wherein a portion of the forward region of the elongate body is configured to resemble shoulders and the elongate sheet of material is configured to resemble a cape attached to the shoulders.  
   
   
       23 . The projectile toy of  claim 22 , wherein the elongate sheet is additionally attached to the legs.  
   
   
       24 . The projectile toy of  claim 16 , wherein the elongate body comprises a fabric outer shell stuffed with a fibrous filler material.
