The Abase 11 is preferably made of` light spongelike rubber and is relatively thick, while embedded in thebase near the lower face thereof is a weight 13. The weight is preferably y formed of someheavy material, such as lead,
so as to provide a relatively heavy base. By 4o constructing the figure 1n the manner shown and described, when the toy is dropped or thrown against the floor, it will rebound or bounce due to the construction of the base 11 while the Weight 13 will maintain the toy 45 su stantiallg upright and the effect of va jumping ra bit will be provided.
While the toy is shown in the forml of a rabbit, it is of course obvious that its shape may be changed to represent other animals or figures.
