ABSTRACT:
A decorative combination of component bags representing the torso, head, two arms and two legs of a festive, seasonal, holiday, or non-holiday figure is provided. Each of the bags is comprised of a bag member formed of a flexible waterproof material and preferably formed having a presealed end and an initially open end opposite the presealed end. The initially open end is for receiving filler material. The pre-sealed end of the head bag is shaped such that the head bag assumes a generally spherical shape once filled with filler material. The pre-sealed end of the torso bag is shaped such that the torso bag assumes a generally cylindrical shape once filled with filler material. The pre-sealed ends of the two arm bags and two leg bags are shaped such that the arm bags and leg bags assume a generally elongate cylindrical shape once filled with filler material. A closing means is provided for closing the initially open ends of the component bags. The bags may have fanciful indicia for representing festive, seasonal, holiday, or non-holiday figures. Once assembled, the figure resembles a costumed male or female human, is substantially human-proportioned, and has articulable appendages. The components of the figure may also be supplied in a kit.
