A toy glove is disclosed, and includes an inflatable user engagement portion and a fluid retention portion. The fluid retention portion is affixed to the user engagement portion and includes an attachment layer, an absorbent layer, and a retention layer. The absorbent layer is configured to absorb and retain fluid, and is compressible under an applied force so that fluid stored in the absorbent layer is displaced therefrom under pressure. The retention layer covers the absorbent layer and is semi-permeable so that the retention layer inhibits fluid at an equilibrium state from flowing therethrough and allows at least a portion of the fluid displaced from the absorbent layer under pressure to pass therethrough.

The toy glove of claim 1, wherein the absorbent layer is encased between the attachment layer and the retention layer. 3. The toy glove of claim 1, wherein the retention layer is formed of lycra. 4. The toy glove of claim 1, wherein the attachment layer is configured to be heat sealed to a front end of the user engagement portion. 5. The toy glove of claim 1, wherein the retention layer is stitched to the attachment layer. 6. The toy glove of claim 1, wherein, upon impact with the target, the absorbent layer is configured to displace the fluid under pressure in the direction of impact with the target in the form of a splash, stream, wave, or droplets of the fluid. 7. The toy glove of claim 1, wherein the retention layer is reconfigurable between a first, unstressed condition, and a second, deformed condition. 8. The toy glove of claim 7, wherein the retention layer defines a first permeability to fluid in the first condition, and the retention layer defines a second, higher permeability to fluid in the second condition. 9. The toy glove of claim 7, wherein the retention layer has a resilient configuration that tends to return toward the first condition. 10. A toy glove, comprising: an inflatable user engagement portion including a cavity for receiving a portion of a user's body and a forward extent extending from a front face thereof; anda fluid retention portion attached to the user engagement portion and having an elongate, conical profile, the fluid retention portion comprising: an attachment layer sealably attached to the user engagement portion;an absorbent layer configured to absorb and retain fluid, the absorbent layer compressible under an applied force to displace fluid retained therein; and a retention layer exposed on a front face of the toy glove about the absorbent layer and attached to the attachment layer so that the absorbent layer is encased therebetween, the retention layer being semi-permeable so that the retention layer inhibits fluid at an equilibrium state from flowing therethrough and allows at least a portion of the fluid displaced from the absorbent layer under pressure to pass therethrough. 11. The toy glove of claim 10, wherein the retention layer is formed of lycra. 12. The toy glove of claim 10, wherein the visual amplification of impact has the form of a splash, stream, wave, or droplets of the fluid. 13. The toy glove of claim 10, wherein the visual amplification of impact occurs along a direction of impact with the target. 14. The toy glove of claim 10, wherein one or more of the attachment layer, absorbent layer, and retention layer has a different length. 15. The toy glove of claim 10, wherein the forward extent has a conical configuration. 16. The toy glove of claim 10, wherein the retention layer is reconfigurable between a first, unstressed condition, and a second, deformed condition. 17. The toy glove of claim 16, wherein the retention layer defines a first permeability to fluid in the first condition, and the retention layer defines a second, higher permeability to fluid in the second condition. 18. The toy glove of claim 16, wherein the retention layer has a resilient configuration that tends to return toward the first condition. 19. A method of using a toy glove, comprising: providing the toy glove comprising: a user engagement portion; anda fluid retention portion affixed to the user engagement portion and comprising: an attachment layer;an absorbent layer configured to absorb and retain fluid, the absorbent layer compressible under an applied force; anda retention layer covering the absorbent layer and exposed on a front face of the toy glove, the retention layer being semi-permeable;exposing the user engagement portion to a fluid;exerting a force on the user engagement portion so that the absorbent layer is compressed to cause a pressure differential to draw fluid through the retention layer; andimpacting the user engagement portion against a target so that an impact force is exerted on the absorbent layer to cause displacement of fluid through the retention layer in the direction of impact. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the step of impacting the user engagement portion against a target includes reconfiguring the retention layer from a first, unstressed condition to a second, deformed condition having a higher permeability to fluid than the first condition.
