Now that I've seen this, I have to track one down! (I'm a freak for world mythology and when I saw that little guy, my mouth dropped open.) Look up "Kappa" under Google Images and check out what you find.

I loved these and they made my bath toy rotation very regularly. Awesome!

In sit com style one hot summer day, my Dad called to say he was bringing guests home for dinner – IN ONE HOUR!
My Mom, Frogman, and I hightailed it to the stripmall to hit the Liquor store. On the way there, my frogman wound itself tightly into the back of my Mom's long brown hair. He was in there good.
She had to go into the Liquor store with this toy hanging from the back of her head.
We got him out before the guests arrived, but frogman was never viewed the same in her eyes ever again.

I was JUST yesterday telling my son about the little wind up tub/pool toys we had as kids. We had an old metal washtub in the yard that my mother would fill with water for my brother and I to play in. Yeah… But these toys made it more fun, and also when it was tub time inside. Man, what a coincidence!
