ABSTRACT:
A toy glider in the form of a molded foam plastic animal figure has an animal body form fuselage including a longitudinal axis, generally parallel sides, a front end and a rear end. A pair of wings in the form of animal wings are attached to the fuselage in a horizontal plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage. A nose section in the form of an animal head and attached to the front end of the fuselage and a tail section is attached to the rear end of the fuselage. One or more male appendage studs extend distance from a surface of the glider and engage elongated hollow, appendages in the form of animal limbs, each having an elastomeric and hollow recess at an angle to the length of the limb and frictionally engaged onto a respective appendage stud, whereby rotation of the limb changes the angle of the limb with respect to the fuselage. Each limb appendage has a compressive columm buckling strength high enough to support the static weight of the glider in a standing posture, and a bending buckling strength low enough to permit the limb to resiliently collapse under a dynamic bending load.
