The Sprogz history is quite a story. The figurines were originally made by an English firm. The molds were then sold to the company we here in the United States are most familiar with - Holland Studios. About mid-way through the Sprogz history with Holland Studios they switched where they had the figurines made. Thailand is not unusual at all - this was their original manufacturing location. When the proprietor of Holland Studios died of a sudden heart attack the Sprogz line was discontinued.
