NAME: Mr. Tiger Pants (formerly Rico)
HEIGHT: About 7 inches
CAME FROM: The Klecknersville Rangers Indoor Flea Market
I adore Mr. Tiger Pants. He's a member of the WWE wrestlers that came to live in Plastiqueville in February 2020, right before the pandemic really hit. (more about the wrestlers in a future post) "Rico" was his WWE name, but his present moniker is obviously better. He's had a hard life, as you can see by the condition of his left foot, probably chewed off by a pet or an overeager child. Yet he keeps on smiling! His barbecue fork is from a set of eight, inherited from my former mother-in-law, so if he loses this one, there are several spares. And he loves to barbecue! He also likes to dress up, and is wearing a hat from the craft store. (It's not easy to find hats that fit these guys.)
But what I really love about Mr. Tiger Pants is what I love about all the wrestlers - his bendable joints. He can sit, stand, kneel - even do yoga! The ability to bend is a very big deal around here.
