To ask for help identifying this tiny man

[UnexpectedTinyMan]

So the story is, a family member ordered a completely boring order of towels and a bath mat from Wilkos.

This came today, and inside the package (wrapped up separately) was a pair of orthopaedic Sedagyl slippers (the kind an old woman might wear - not sold by Wilkos, that I can see) and THIS tiny man - pic attached.

My husband broke his head off, apparently to check if there were drugs inside, and there were thin wires inside going through the whole clay of the body . It was made of a kind of soft clay that breaks easily, and the paint rubs off easily. He is holding some sort of wine jug. We can’t find anything even close on the Wilkos website.

Any one who can 1. Identify this tiny man and 2. Explain why he was in a Wilkos parcel with a pair of slippers, I’ll be really impressed!

I got a pair of Old Person Slippers in a delivery which I hadn't ordered and didn't appear on the site - not Wilkos though. They're still in a cupboard. I'm waiting for dh to become old enough....

There's a phantom slipper packer somewhere.

I’d keep the slippers
I love a good Sturdy pair of slippers
Great freebie
Wee headless man - not so much

How lucky are you

There have been things recently when people order one thing and get random things in the parcel. Can't remember where I saw it ?

That poor wee man! Can you superglue his head back on OP so that he can see what he's doing when he comes to stab in your bed tonight

Well this thread wasnt what I expected it to be... 😂

I'm quite concerned, OP. Is your husband always this desperate for drugs?

In the belly of an antique rocking horse I found a monkey made of soapstone
It had been posted down the pommel hole in the saddle area- it was creepy as Sin-
I threw it over a fence to get rid of it.
Have any of you read “The Monkey’s Paw”?
I’d mend the little man and say sorry to him.

Isn't he the 'hey you guys' man?

What sort of hat is that? It looks like a white traffic cone!!!

Travel outside of the UK and you might found out what sort of hat that is.

I'd be checking the heels of the old lady slippers.
They always hide their stash there

This is true. It was debuted by Carmen Miranda and swept the octogenarian cocaine-sniffing nation

Unfortunately the slippers and the man were already in the wheelie bin by the time I finished work and came outside.

The tiny disembodied head was fished out and presented to me, to illustrate the story. A slipper was fished out too (so if it’s stained, that’s why).

Personally I really want to rescue the shards of the man and glue him back together, partly because it has made me laugh so much. But I don’t know if I can get away with rifling through my in-laws wheelie bin in the middle of dinner time!? I really want to though!

I found a bag of E in the street years ago. I handed them to police.. When I told my friends they were like “nooooooo! I’d have had those “

I picked up the black bag thinking crystals would be inside.. luckily kids didn’t find them first💯

@TeddyIsaHe

Christ between this thread and the women scared of plotting Rottweilers walking slowly I’ll never need to watch tv again.

Is it me or is MN absolutely batshit atm?!

This is the MN I love Teddy, all that’s missing today is a good parking thread 😂

I started sorting out the roofspace today and found one of those singing lobster things and a gorgeous old mirror. Maybe I’ll be lucky & one is magic hoping its the lobster

Do the slippers fit OP? If DH has broken the spooky wee man maybe the magic slippers will whisk you off to an easy chair with a cup of ovaltine before the curse hits him

Definitely some sort of cursed golem. Do let us know if your DH's head mysteriously falls off during the night.

Size is relevant here. Clearly your husband wasn’t expecting a major drugs haul. 🤣

Pic or it didn’t happen

Thank you, this thread is has given me a few laughs.

I watched a Banged up Abroad episode last weekend where a woman was buying statues in Goa, filling them with hash resin, resealing them , painting the edges, and posting for a hefty payout.

She got quite good at it until she got caught. I wonder if your husband watched that and had a weird fantasy that he'd stumbled on a complex drugs ring run by mafia

My guess would be that the towels were sent to an older lady who returned them. When she was wrapping up the towels, she accidentally included the other items. Maybe the slippers were also meant to be returned to another shop but they got wrapped in the towels by mistake and the little man fell off a cabinet into the towels while she was wrestling with it all.

@UnexpectedTinyMan
Deffo riffle through the bin..

SHARDS😳??
Your DH was so desperate for drugs he smashed up the little man😱?

@all TeddyIsaHe, can you link to the Rottweilers thread, haven't seen that and can't find it. Is it about GP receptionists?

Anyone see that movie 'Wait Until Dark'?

No it’s about Rottweilers and Dobermans and Poodles. Looking cunning and walking slowly.

This is so much more exciting than the packs of seeds others have ben getting, the mystery parcel Gods have favoured you here.
