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!

Why would you snap head off? I doubt wilkos are international drug runners

I once bought a keyboard from a wilko shop for my son who was most upset to open it to find paintbrushes 🤷‍♀️ Wilkinson's are bat shit mad!

They did replace it when I took it back... they were just as confused as me Tbf

Perhaps the drugs were in the soles of the slippers and the tiny man was a decoy! Did your DH not think of drilling the heels? ( I too watch Boarder Force) 😂

Oh I dunno. Aren't Wayfair hunan traffickers? Or summat.

Not quite as bizarre as tiny man but still puzzles me now...Years ago when DS was a baby I ordered some baby stuff from Jo Jo Mama Bebe (think that's what it was called). When it arrived I found these wrapped up in bubble wrap in the middle of all the baby stuff! Nothing on paperwork to say they were a free gift. I guess they're for eating olives? Or maybe fairy/elves spears for fighting off the trolls? Have never used them so they look a bit rusty now....put them next to a pack of chewing gum so you can see how small they are (the gum wasn't in the parcel, that's mine, not the fairies)

I once bought a worry doll from the works which had a zipped up mouth for you to put your worries in. I opened it in front of my class to show them what to do. Inside the mouth was about 8 dummies! I guess someone wanted to get their child to get rid of their dummies! I took it back and swapped it.

Aaaah!!

That's a demon face doll. After a traditional exorcism the demon would have been trapped between the wires and a figure quickly shaped around it to hold it trapped and to prevent it entering anyone else and displacing their soul.
Why dId your DH feel compelled to release it? Was there a pet nearby or is it more likely that your DH is now possessed? Is he dragging an axe behind him or just grinning lopsidedly while holding big pointy scissors behind his back?

I'd get ready to practice your Shelley Duvall style screaming OP.

I once ordered some stuff from homebase and they sent an Elvis wig instead of a shoe rack!

fwwaftp an Elvis wig though 🤣

Yup I thought the same too sequester yourself inside a circle of salt and get ready with a silver blade to take down the demon. Make sure your born the body and the doll afterwards

@fwwaftp hilarious 😆

This thread has made me laugh so much! Although to be fair that little figure looks a bit creepy!!

What’s the conclusion of the enquiries? Has Wilko traced the rightful owner? Has the released demon caused mayhem in your home?

OP won't be back. She's fallen prey to the dark side.
She's either being held prisoner pending some terrible ceremony involving a pit of fire and snakes, or she's already been meat for the beast, or she is herself now 'hosting' and is out and about smiling slightly too broadly/fixedly and inviting unwary acquaintances to be 'guests' for the 'festivities'.

Either way, she is lost to us. We'll just have to watch out for the tabloid headlines to find out the end of the story.

@RyanBergarasTeeth

Yeah looks like an antique and the wires as everyone has said is normal in claywork. Why did your husband break its head off to check for drugs thats so random. Have you contacted wilko yet?

Not random, he had a purpose..

If your DH is that desperate to find drugs, you’ve got bigger problems than the tiny man...
