Toy kite



The Toy kite can be bought from Diango in Draynor Village for 100 coins. The toy kite was released as an April Fools joke by Jagex on 1 April 2008, toying with their players' anticipation of getting a Dragon kiteshield; similarly to the Dragon plate and Toy Horsey April Fool's pranks from previous years. The name was changed from Dragon kite to Toy kite the next day.

According to Diango, a huge shipment of dragon kites was ordered exactly one year ago but was delayed, leading him to believe that they were never going to arrive and that someone was playing a joke on him. He also explains, when asked how he got so many, that there was an offer of 'Buy 1, Get 1000 free' which Diango felt was too good of an offer to pass up. He refers to the price as a bargain and when purchased, cautions players not to "get carried away!" On 9 November, toy kites were prevented from floating away while playing Vinesweeper.

Trivia

 * If the 'Wield' option is chosen, the kite will float alongside the player. If the 'Fly' or 'Operate' option is chosen the player will appear to fly the kite in a strong wind for a few seconds.
 * The corner of the toy kite when looking at stats is absent due to it being too high in the air.
 * When the kite is worn in the weapon slot, the player's attack styles remain the same as if they were not holding a weapon.
 * If the player performed the Candy cane's 'spin' emote and quickly wielded a toy kite, the kite would appear to be held by an invisible hand.
