Abstract

A play material shooting toy utilizes a housing supporting a face element having a mouth aperture formed therein. The face element is removable from the housing and may receive a plug of amorphous play material. The housing further defines a collapsible bellows portion which facilitates the creation of pressurized air within the housing as the bellows are collapsed by the user's hand. The play material plug within the face unit may be launched or shot from the housing by replacing the loaded face unit into the housing and thereafter rapidly collapsing the bellows to pressurize the air within the housing and launch the plug of play material.
