Unfortunately, there was plenty of stuff in the bag that I just couldn't identify. I feel like I'm on the verge of figuring out this tiger thing, but I haven't quite made it yet. It's only marked "Taiwan," and boy does that narrow things down. Tiger Thing is around three inches tall, smiling, and seemingly without back paws. The picture might make it look like a pencil topper, but it's not. Don't write in and tell me that it is. The Tiger Thing is not a pencil topper.
Update: Reader "Jon" just chimed in, he's got the scoop: "It came in boxes of frosted flakes...it's a diving tony the tiger. Take an empty 2 liter bottle and fill it with water. Toss Tony in , put the cap on and squeeze the top of the bottle and watch him dive to the bottom. Release and he goes back to the top...hours of entertainment for me as a kid.
