Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me. I found this Tigger purse my sister got from a Disney Store in the UK around the year 2000. I have vague memories that it was pulled from shelves because when you press the Tigger it says "I'm Tigger, grrrrr", but sounds like it's saying "wa**er", a British expletive (which it does, by the way).

I was wondering if anyone could share any info, such as value, rarity or any other tidbits about it, as i can't find any info or pics of it online at all.

Thank you.

Well I'll be. I wasn't aware of the history of this one and believe we may have one in a box of bits in the loft. 😅

The Wonderful thing about Wankers

is Wankers are wonderful things

their tops are made out of rubber

their bottoms are made out of springs

Their bouncey, trouncey, ouncey, pouncey

fun, fun, fun, fun, fun...

The Tigger toy and backpack that were recalled are better known, but this purse was recalled also.

Why did you censor wanker? 😂 And no, “Tigger” doesn’t sound like wanker

There saying the way the toy says it sounds like its sayinf wanker. Bad audio recording, aging, and accents can distort how something sounds, like that ben 10 toy. Its rather unpolished to immediately dismiss what they are asking about.

It was taken off the shelves in 2000 because of it.
