Abstract: A throwing toy that can simulate the throwing of a weapon. The throwing toy has a head and a handle that are molded from a soft polymeric foam. Reinforcement elements can be molded into the foam to provide structural integrity. The head of the toy has a face surface, a rear surface, a top surface, and a bottom surface. The handle extends from the bottom surface of the head. When the throwing toy is thrown toward a target, one of the surfaces of the head is likely to impact the target. Contact connectors, such as suction cups, are affixed to at least one of the surfaces of the head. The contact connectors are set at different positions and preferably at different angles to provide contact attachments across a wide range of contact angles.
