These toys were meant to be a type of inflatable boxing gloves for kids to play with. They are made from strong inflatable vinyl and come in two sizes, regular and super. The super will hold a 2.5-inch receiver housing, the regular will hold a 2-inch housing. If the super is inflated rather tightly it also holds a 2-inch housing securely. The opening in both is deep enough for a seven inch long receiver. You need to vent them to keep the cap vent working. The easiest way to do this is to secure a length of stiff tubing, like a heavy duty straw, to the side of the receiver lengthwise using rubber bands or tape. This allows for an escape route for the vent valve to get rid of trapped air. The top photo shows a Geo balloon, barely inflated, used as a extra cushion for the entrance of the receiver. It is a 2-inch housing in the regular inflatable boxing glove type toy.
