I taped Buzz Lightyear to a rocket, and lit the fuse.
Some quick links to a few of the materials I used:

Project Inspired By:
Toy Story, and the kid named Sid who wanted to do the same thing :)

Project History & More Info:
Since the first time I saw Toy Story, and watched Sid tape Buzz Lightyear to the rocket, I've wondered how that would work out in real life.
Of course with a toy taped right to a rocket motor there are major stability issues, not to mention aerodynamic issues, and challenges with CG and center of pressure, but I found an improvised way to launch it half decently was by taping it to a wooden dowel.
Despite having no recovery system in place, Buzz survived the flight with hardly a scratch. Just a little scorch mark down the back of one leg.
