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!

Dh is definitely bruce.

Omg this thread is sooo funny it’s the most random thing.

Jesus Christ, how desperate is your husband for a fix?!

Hold me closer tiny chancer
Snapped your head off on the driveway

@Notredamn laughing so much at that! Thank you

Actually he looks like a Bristol Uni Student in Fresher's week, with a traffic cone on his head and a Hi Viz jacket as he does the right thing, and cycles his 'fixie'bike everywhere.

🤣🤣🤣

@Notredamn - snorted at that

That tiny man was my inheritance from my dead father, and he would, unlike your DH, not have dreamt of storing drugs in it. I shall now ask mumsnet to provide your details so I may sue you for the cost - I'll ask Southeby's for a valuation but to me it is irreplaceable.

(Just joking, but the next person to see that image may not be).

Then they’d be a twat.

You had towels - what do they do? Dry you when you’re wet
Sedagyl slippers - to stop you tripping, have you waved goodbye to a holiday
Wet trip tiny man - what’s the opposite of wet,
Dry or dusty, you might make a trip to the skip
Then a Lucknow figure, well, you’re in luck now
You just got rid of Dusty Bin!

OP you are in a fever dream reboot of 3-2-1

Is there a note in there from someone saying they are earning £1 an hour working for Wilko?

So glad I came across this thread again. I was reading it in bed last night and really laughing at some of the replies.
Completely forgot until my son said he heard me laughing last night and triggered my memory

Was it cos he is black?

Omg these figures are really collectible and that ones very rare. Na kidding ha ha . What a strange thing 🤔

This thread is brilliant and crazy weird...was.the wilko bag sealed or had it been revealed.? So odd...

It looks old..... I can't believe your DH broke it's head off!

I don't know ... but you've got really hairy knees 😉

Ask Willis customer service?

Sorry - wilkos

Put it on EBay and see what happens?

This Tiny Man needs to be Inducted into the Mumsnet Hall Of Fame.

BROKEN....But Unbowed. 💯

@conduitoffortune that was my first thought. Sloth from the Goonies.

Can someone not tag Wilko on Twitter and alert them to this thread? (I’m not on Twitter) It’s comedy gold! Someone’s husband who was too influenced by The Wire pulling apart a priceless antique smuggled in orthopaedic pink slippers ... paranoid that it contained drugs....

The Daily Mail have just published another thread on here, but not this one! Journalists these days!

Your husband’s reaction of snapping it’s head off is the weirdest part - I would want to get to the bottom of why he behaved this way.
