Do You Remember What These Were Called?
Remember these? They stood taller than you did, with bright colors and familiar faces—from superheroes to silly clowns—and no matter how many times you knocked them down, they popped right back up with a grin. Whether you boxed with Batman, bopped Bozo, or gave Fred Flintstone a playful jab, these inflatable buddies were the perfect playtime stress relief.

That’s right—they were Punch-Me’s! These inflatable bop bags were a staple of 1960s and ’70s playrooms. Each one had a weighted base, so after a good punch, they’d spring right back up, ready for round two. The lineup featured all the pop-culture favorites—Bozo the Clown, Bullwinkle, Batman, Fred Flintstone, and more—and gave kids a fun (and harmless) way to burn off energy. Did you ever have one at home—or a favorite character you couldn’t stop knocking over?
