1. A flying toy system, comprising:a kite portion, and a figure, having a human-like or animal-like form, said kite portion and said figure each having plural hook and loop coupling and mating structures attaching said figure at certain points to said kite portion, such that the remainder of said figure will move during flight of said system with respect to said kite portion. 2. The flying toy system of claim 1, further comprising a cage carried by said kite portion and configured to limit the movement of said figure when said system is in flight.3. The flying toy system of claim 1, wherein said kite portion comprises:a body portion; and one or more airfoil portions coupled to said body portion; wherein said one or more airfoil portions deflect air to provide lift for the system. 4. The flying toy system of claim 3, wherein said body portion is in the form of a boat.5. The flying toy system of claim 3, wherein said body portion is in the form of a sailboard.6. The flying toy system of claim 3, wherein said one or more airfoil portions are in the form of a sail.7. The flying toy system of claim 3, wherein said figure is coupled to said kite portion above said body portion.8. The flying toy system of claim 1, wherein said figure is removably, selectively and positionally coupled to said kite portion.9. The flying toy system of claim 1, wherein said figure has hands having said mating structures, said mating structures being coupled at low points to said kite portion coupling structures such that the figure appears to be bending when in flight.10. The flying toy system of claim 1, wherein said figure includes fill material.11. The flying toy system of claim 1, wherein said figure remainder is flexible.12. The flying toy system of claim 1, wherein said figure is configured to inflate when in flight.13. A figure for a flying toy having a coupling structure, comprising:a flexible housing having mating structure for said coupling structure that removably, selectively, and positionally couples said figure to said flying toy; said flexible housing having an airfoil portion and a mesh portion, said mesh portion being configured to allow air therethrough to the interior of said flexible housing to inflate said figure when said flying toy is in flight. 14. The figure according to claim 13, in which said mating structure comprises a hook or loop configuration for coupling with said coupling structure.15. The figure according to claim 13, in which said flexible housing has fill material located therewithin.16. The figure for a flying toy according to claim 13, in which said figure is configured to move when in flight relative to said mating structure.17. A flying toy, comprising:a kite portion having a coupling structure; and a figure having mating structures to couple to said coupling structure and a remainder having a human-like or animal-like form; whereby said figure remainder moves with respect to said mating structures and said kite portion. 18. The flying toy according to claim 17, in which said kite portion has a body portion and an airfoil portion, said figure being coupled to said kite portion above said kite body portion.19. The flying toy according to claim 17, in which said coupling structure and said mating structure comprise a hook and loop configuration.20. A flying toy, comprising:a kite portion having a coupling structure; and a figure having mating structures to couple to said coupling structure and a remainder; said figure being configured to inflate when in flight, whereby said figure remainder moves with respect to said mating structures and said kite portion. 21. A method of using a flying toy having coupling structures, includingcoupling a removably, selectively positional figure having mating structures to said coupling structures and a remainder having a human-like or animal-like form and not coupled to said flying toy; and flying the toy such that said figure remainder having a human-like or animal-like form moves relative to said mating structures and said flying toy. 22. The method according to claim 21, wherein said figure moves periodically or intermittently when in flight.
