ABSTRACT:
A toy for launching projectiles. The toy includes a flexible shell generally having a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface. The convex outer surface has a first protrusion and a plurality of claws. The concave inner surface has a second protrusion. A first projectile is mountable on the first protrusion. A second projectile is mountable on the second protrusion. When the first projectile is mounted on the first protrusion and the shell is inverted such that the convex outer surface becomes a concave surface, the plurality of claws grip the first projectile. Thereafter, when pressure is applied to the shell, the shell returns to its original non-inverted shape and the first projectile is discharged into the air. Moreover, when the second projectile is mounted on the second protrusion and the shell is inverted such that the convex outer surface becomes a concave surface and is thereafter dropped on a hard surface, the shell returns to its original non-inverted shape and the second projectile is discharged into the air.
