I rediscovered this cute little guy while I was home last week for Thanksgiving. I got him when I was living in Germany; he came in the belly of a Kinder Surprise egg and stayed with me for a couple of years.
I don’t write or receive as many letters as I did them, but I couldn’t resist bringing him back to New York and giving him a place on my desk. I love how pouty he looks with his mouth closed — here’s what happens when it’s open:

Aww, he’s cute! I remember those Kinder egg toys well – never had anything as fun as him out of mine.

I love Kinder Surprise! My sister used to buy them at Christmas time for us.

I LOVE Kinder Eggs. Used to buy them all the time when I lived in the UK. You never knew what you’d get…
