I spent some time Googling for it without much luck. I did find a competed auction to a similar Mickey toy from the same company. Maybe there was a whole line of them?

Hey, no problem. I can't resist a "toy ID" challenge.
Unfortunately the description at the link did not list a date.
I'm thinking it's 1960s.

I find this toy really disturbing.

^^ I was thinking the same thing. What is he doing to that poor whale?? Call Greenpeace now!!

It's not so much the toy, but our cynical, dirty minds.

I'll be the first to admit that I have a cynical and dirty mind, but that whale has a real look of terror and pain on his face, just look at him. One of several things that are just wrong with this toy.

>that whale has a real look of terror and pain on his face

It's 'cos of the enraged cricket lodged in it's dome. Actually, the toy looks kinda off-model; like a knock off or really old piece.

This looks to be from the 60s, and there is no shortage of off-model stuff from that decade. Barney Rubble with green hair, anyone?
