Abstract
A free-standing, self-righting punching bag having utility as a toy. The punching bag is sculptured and three dimensional; it is provided with a water-filled flexible enclosure at its lowermost end which serves as a counterweight to right the bag when it has been toppled by a punch or kick. In a first embodiment, a hollow tube member that also serves as a fill spout maintains the enclosure in its original shape at all times. In a second embodiment, a pair of strap members maintain the enclosure in its original shape and the fill spout is provided as a separate member which is positioned on the bottom of the toy.
