Not sure how this guy came about, if they were give-aways at Panda Express or something else. His tag says Panda Inn Mandarine Cuisine on one side and Panda Express Gourmet Chinese Food on the other. He is in very nice shape and does not appear to have been cheaply put together. This would make a great piece for your puppet shows. He is 9" high, so that makes him fairly easy to handle even for little kids.
