I found characters (plastic frogs, ducks, etc.) packaged at a dollar store.  
(I'm sure they are similar to T Myers, but I believe they are a bit bigger.)  
I've seen them around.  They come in a mesh bag and I believe it was 8 to a 
bag.  I bought 24 bags of them (the people thought I was nuts I'm sure)!  I 
always carry a few in my balloon bag to hand out to the under 2 crowd.  I 
take a real balloon, pretend to blow it up inside my hands (where the real 
character is), then do some motions like I'm twisting away.  Then I give the 
finished product to the child.  THEY don't know any different, and VERY 
rarely do I have a parent who complains.  They just want something from the 
clown.

I've even had children come up and ask me what kind of a balloon that was.
