       8 . The toy of  claim 5 , wherein when the inner chamber is inflated, deflation of the inner chamber occurs when the inflating pin is reinserted through the wall portion.  
   
   
       9 . The toy of  claim 5 , wherein the wall portion remains continuously self-sealing for a plurality of insertions and removals of the inflating pin.  
   
   
       10 . The toy of  claim 6 , wherein the opening portion is a mouth.  
   
   
       11 . An inflatable toy comprising: 
 a body having an inner chamber;    a wall portion having a first side adjacent to the inner chamber and a second side outside of the inner chamber; and    at least one object disposed within the inner chamber,    wherein air introduced into the inner chamber through a temporary through hole made in the wall portion by a tool is retained when the tool is removed from the wall portion.    
   
   
       12 . The inflatable toy of  claim 11 , wherein the body is stretchable.  
   
   
       13 . The inflatable toy of  claim 11 , wherein the at least one object is a bead.  
   
   
       14 . The inflatable toy of  claim 13 , wherein the bead is made from expandable polystyrene.  
   
   
       15 . The inflatable toy of  claim 11 , wherein the body has an original deflated shape of one of a spider, a dinosaur, a reptile, an insect, a mammal, an amphibian and a fish.  
   
   
       16 . The inflatable toy of  claim 11 , further comprising a plurality of appendages coupled to the body, wherein the plurality of appendages retain their original shape when the inner chamber is inflated.  
   
   
       17 . The inflatable toy of  claim 11 , wherein when the inner chamber is inflated, deflation of the inner chamber occurs when the tool is reinserted through the wall portion.  
   
   
       18 . The inflatable toy of  claim 11 , wherein the wall portion remains continuously self-sealing for a plurality of insertions and removals of the tool.  
   
   
       19 . The inflatable toy of  claim 15 , wherein the body has a mouth portion coupled to the wall portion.  
   
   
       20 . The inflatable toy of  claim 11 , wherein the tool is one of a hand-pump with an inflation pin and a finger press pump.
