Someone I know on Facebook posted a photo of assembled figures from her desk, including a Japanese figure called "Unicorn Girl", with an odd dark-blue thing on her forehead that looked more like a pin stuck there.
This inspired me to make this comment:
On our bedroom wall, we have Rosie the Riveter, Sigmund Freud, Harry Mudd (the lovable crook from OS Star Trek), J. Jonah Jameson (with desk-pounding action!), some guy called Fuzz, a knockoff of Batman called Battle Man, Halloween Witch Barbie, a Sailor Moon knockoff called Meteor Girl, a Barbie knockoff in overalls that we pretend is another Rosie, Tarzan, a Martian Plant Man, a Basilisk, Sally (from The Nightmare before Christmas) and Mandarin Medieval Spawn (which we bought because of its incredibly elaborate costume).
We also have a tiny Superman; even tinier figures of Isis, Thoth, Anubis, Bastet and some royal sarcophaguses (in an "Egypt Toob" from Safari Ltd.), still tinier figures of three Apollo astronauts (and possibly some figures so tiny they escape the naked eye, but those are probably just dust).
We'd love to have a Princess Unicorn, because of a very tasteless inside joke that I won't mention here, except to say that it involves a comedian's misunderstanding of the name UNICEF....
