A figure-like toy-projectile and launching platform assembly adapted to propel the figure into space by means of an elastic spring concealed in the figure. The figure whose head forms the nose of the projectile includes arms and legs extending from a torso joined to the head, and an elongated cavity in the torso whose front end is an opening in the crotch between the legs and whose rear end lies in an upper region in the torso in line with the head. Received in the cavity is an elastic spring in the form of a condom having a ring and a stretchable shank, the ring being mounted in the crotch opening. The normal length of the shank is such as to create a space between the end of the shank and the end of the cavity to allow for expansion of the shank. The platform is formed by a pad on which is anchored an elongated probe which when the figure is pushed down by a player onto the pad is then inserted through the crotch opening into the condom to stretch the shank to occupy the free space and thereby develop a latent force, whereby when the player releases the figure, the stretched shank then proceeds to resume its normal length and in doing so to produce a thrust force that propels the figure.
