Subject: Help!!! I Can't remember What this toy is called.

??? I am trying to find a toy for my 4 year old, and I just can't recall what they were called.
The toy was an inflatable punching bag that stood about 4 feet tall, and had the face and body of an action figure or a cartoon character. You could hit it again and again, and it would stand back up on it's own time after time.
Does anyone remember what they were called? Does anyone know if they are still made and where I might be able to find one?

I remember this. It looked like a giant Fisher-Price Egg Weeble. The one I had was Spider-Man, I think. I want to say they were still around in the 90s, but I can't remember seeing any recently. I'll try to remember what they were called.

I think they call them Bop Bags. I bought one for my nephew last year from Toys R Us. Here's some internet sites that carry them, but I don't know how reliable these sites are:

But I don't see any super hero ones. I'm thinking of odering a couple of the robot ones for the robot team I'm on, we're really going to need them come the January build time.

We had one that was a clown.
I can't recall the name of the product though.
