Post sometimes it is the little things
Just a fun little post here. With all the hype of the rare, obscure an expensive, sometimes it is nice to get a cheap little toy that has eluded you. Thanks to a tip from Josh, I finally picked up this oddball Tiger7 soakie. I kept seeing them without the chest sticker and after a couple years of passive looking, I finally picked up one of these guys. No shampoo left in it (fine with me), as I don't plan on having my hair and beard looking like a tiger mane. (Do tigers have manes or just lions?) Anyways, here is a nod to the simple joys of toy collecting.

Great score! Funny that they'd put a sticker on a soakie (and that collectors would expect it to be there decades later).

Allmost all of the soakies and bath/watercan toys had stickers on 'em.
Those polyethylene toys are so naive and primitive they're nearly impossible to resist.

I can't get a sense of the size.
Five inches? or are we talking bigger?
