A Pocket Full of Toys

Like they found their way into my pocket.

I found these guys hanging out on the underside of this chair. A green rubber-like dino, a cute little "rubber" duck, and a plastic spike dude. A few more additions for my "lost & found" collection.

A Figure from Popular Culture?

This figure stands approximately 90mm tall. It is cast from a sturdy PVC like plastic and with an articulate head, arms, legs, and tail. This figure like the others of this mini-series was lost and found. Although I have seen these figures before somewhere out in popular culture, I do not have the foggiest idea where that might have been. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
