ABSTRACT:
A display package for receiving a doll or toy figure having a bouncing action includes a vertical back, vertical sides and a vertical front forming a generally rigid enclosure. The package further includes a bottom extending between the back, sides and front of the package. A bottom liner overlying the bottom portion of the package defines an elongated slot through which a generally planar springboard member extends. A generally planar base is spaced above and generally parallel to the bottom portion and defines a large aperture exposing the springboard from above. A hinged flap is pivotally secured to the back and extends forwardly to overlie the aperture formed in the base portion. The doll or toy figure is received within the package by securing the feet of the doll or toy figure to the springboard using restraints such as ties and securing the neck portion of the doll or toy figure to the hinged flap using a flexible neck restraint. The hinged flap and springboard cooperate to restrain the doll or toy figure in a resilient support that allows the doll or toy figure to undergo its jumping action while being restrained within the package.
