I'm gonna guess Mexico since you are from L.A. and obviously in a non English speaking area...
...oh wait. That IS L.A.

It actually came from the "2 dollar shop" but cost me 14 bucks! Although, that is only about 10 dollars US....another hint...I go there every two years for Christmas to see the wife's family.....

So that's my guess.

Gotta be China...
Just gotta be.
This reminds me of the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie 'Jingle All the Way' when he bought the bootleg action figure from the hucksters. Later when he tried it, it spoke in Spanish. I laff and laff.

Sorry pal. That's Chinese. Two years ago Dino got an 1800's pirate boat made in China. When you pressed the button it made a diesel engine sound. Not sure why I see more of these wacky descriptions here than back home. Everything is made in China there too.
Btw. Two years ago I was here waiting for my Colt DS to arrive at the FFL. It took 10 days to reach Cali from Texas. That was a nerve racking Christmas.

Reminds me of the official song of a state I will not name (but it borders on Kentucky), "I Only Have Eyes For Ewe".
