    I'm guessing glasslite made these. That's the only manufacturer name I see on the package.
    After doing a google search for Glasslite, I found this little tidbit:
    "MacGyver toys were never fully devolped in any country but Brazil. Glassite from Brazil took the license and produced some rather neat toys. The series consisted of many vehicles, but only one figure. The figure wasn't the best rendition of Richard Dean Anderson, but the card artwork is stunning."
    Here is the link:

    Well according to the packaging it's Glasslite, the Brazilian merchandising company.

    So what about his Victorinox? He's been using his knife many more times than a paperclip. That paperclip looks quite exensive too...

    Thanks for the link, Kim - I thought that it might have been photoshopped, I wasn't sure ...

    The quote in the lower right corner is a quote from the series, and it is quite fun, especialy if you know what he said where the "...." is.
    If i remember correctly it was something like "but this wasn't one of them"

    Ok, so its obviously a photoshop of the Brazilian toy, replacing the figurine with a paperclip.

    Cute

    This is hilarious. Really funny from what I can see. A really shrewd obeservation to come out with a really nice spoof.

    And it does not matter if it is photoshop. Creative!

    I live in Brazil and I checked it up. Glasslite made a bunch of MacGuyver tools, but this paper-clip is bogus.

    It's pure photoshop.

    =]

    But nice though. Nicely thought.

    Lol.. if you fell for it, you are an idiot... THIS IS PHOTOSHOPPED. Anyone with a minor amount of intelligence can see that.. Look at the As Seen on TV Sticker.. That'll give you your tip.
