A novelty inflatable and/or spring loaded thumb and/or finger or fingers would be constructed in one of two (2) ways: 1) with an internally concealed air bladder or pouch, and elongated spring throughout the length of the thumb and/or finger(s), or 2) with just an internally concealed elongated spring. In both versions the air bladder/pouch and/or the spring would be molded within a soft, stretchable, rubber-like material comprising the thumb and/or finger(s). In the inflatable version, the thumb and/or finger(s) would be connected to a battery-operated mini air compressor that would fill the internal bladder to a limited pressure thereby extending the thumb and/or finger(s) to their maximum length and width. In the spring only version, the thumb and/or finger(s) would have a release button that would lock the compressed spring in place until the user presses it, thereby releasing the spring and projecting the thumb and/or finger(s) to their maximum height. In the inflatable version, the internal spring would be implemented to retract the thumb and/or finger(s) back to its/their original shape & length. In the spring released design, the spring would be directly opposite to the inflatable version, in that it would be in a compressed state so that it would project the thumb and/or finger(s) outward, to its/their maximum height, when released by the user. The thumb and/or finger(s) could be constructed in a variety of options such as the “thumbs up” version, the “flip the finger” version, the “number one” version, the “peace sign” version, and the “Texas Longhorns” version, among others.
