Abstract (en)

A malleable toy includes an outer skin (40) made of an elastomer material. An inner filler material (45) is sealed within the outer skin. The inner filler material (45) has a yield point that overcomes the stiffness of the outer skin (40) so that when the toy is deformed it substantially maintains the deformed shape for an extended period. <IMAGE>
