Miniature Teal Frog Character Figure with Orange Belt

A cheeky little frog character figure in deep teal, standing upright with one hand raised in a wave. He has bulging yellow eyes, a wide cream grin with a red mouth, red stripe markings across his head and back, and a cream belly. An orange belt with a gold buckle sits round his middle, and he has neatly sculpted toes. He's about the size of a fingertip, so he's a fun desk buddy or a nice add to a mini-figure shelf. Maker unmarked, and the character is unidentified. He's in good condition with bright paint.

Frogs are a much-loved lucky charm in Japan, thanks to a happy pun. Kaeru means "frog", and written differently it also means "to return". So a frog is a classic gift for travellers to wish them a safe journey home, and some people tuck a tiny frog into their purse so the money they spend will come back to them.
