This was a line of six talking 'cute animals' from Toy Island, of Hong Kong. They were clearly aimed at a much younger age group than most of the other talking figures.
Instead of the usual warning note in one corner saying Ages 3 and Up, these say Ages 1 1/2 & Up.
The instructions say Press His Tummy. There were no small and loose accessories, given the age group they were aimed at. They were powered by the usual group of three LR-44 button batteries. These fitted inside a removable battery compartment/voice box unit that was inserted in to the base of the toy. Presumably, this would have been too large for a young child to swallow.
The copyright date on the back of the card is 1992. There is also a note saying Patents Pending. Like the other talking figures from Toy Island, they are Made in China.
The Assortment number is Asst. No.10510, but no individual numbers are visible. Each figure just has a name. It looks as though the figures only had one phrase.
The card back shows the full range of six toys, but there are very few listings for these figures. These are the only ones I could find.
Peter - Bunny - Gimme A Kiss !
Danny - Duckling - Let's Play !
Willy - Pig - I'm So Happy !
Sammy - Bear - Gimme A Hug !
Bobo - Puppy - I Love You !
Jimmy - Pink Elephant - Hi, Good Buddy
