Question of the Day!

[athelind]

For those who collect toys, stuffed animals, objects d'art, and so forth:

Of all the items in your collection, which do you wish was real -- a genuine, fully-functional example of what it represents?

(I'm saving my answer for later -- I want to see how other people respond.)

Edit, 16:47: If you're a costumer, and you want to vote "my fursuit of my favorite alter-ego", that counts.

Edit, 16:50: You know, I was expecting a few more answers along the lines of "my model starship"....

Edit, 19:27: I'd have to say my Green Lantern ring (a free promo piece from the release of Green Lantern: Mosaic, back in 1990, given to me by my brother, kolchis).

One of my 15 zillion plush Gobo Fraggles.... or my 4 foot tall plush Jar Jar Binks. :-)

Never really thought about it - i've got 2 live cats after all.

I suppose one of the beany baby dragons - having a live shoulder dragon would rock

Does the Marci McAdam drawing of my Furry self count? ^^;

[athelind.livejournal.com]

Sure, why not?

[rikoshi.livejournal.com]

Oh, good! That'a a relief, seeing as I don't have a Grace Park plushie lying around.

[shavastak.livejournal.com]

Hrmmmm....

Not an easy question you pose! If I had a picture of myself as I would truly love to be physically I would choose that, but I don't so that won't work.

In that case I think I will choose the characters depicted in a commission I had done; they are characters from my novel/story/thing-that-may-become-a-comic.

Y'know, I just read The Indian in the Cupboard a few months ago...

I collected the DC Super-Powers action figures...okay, fine, "dolls"...for awhile. I think the world could use a walking, talking, flying Kal-El.

You know, I was expecting a few more answers along the lines of "my model starship"....

Amusingly enough, that was going to be my first answer! Except for the fact that I don't have a model starship, I then realized. :)

Well, to me, it's obvious. That life sized Wile E Coyote statue. I wouldn't mind that one coming to life ^.^

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

My first thought is my phaser. Although, in accordance with your edit, the U.S.S. Enterprise or Millenium Falcon would be good too. :)

-TG

[azhreia.livejournal.com]

my first thought was my phaser too.

then I thought of my bun-bun plushie. and then of my communicator pin(s).

a friend of mine had a tricorder ... that would be nifty. ;-)

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Millenium Falcon model.

[cargoweasel.livejournal.com]

Leaving aside any number of furry art characters, I'll say my 1935 Auburn eight cylinder, which I possess in 1:18 scale only. :)

[pyat.livejournal.com]

My TARDIS.

[athelind.livejournal.com]

Oooh. Okay, that's the first entry that I like as much as mine.

[jirris-midvale.livejournal.com]

My stupid non-functioning cell phone.

Seriously though, I have no idea. I have a LOT of awesome Sci-fi crap in the vein of warhammer 40k.

[missmonstermel.livejournal.com]

I wish my monster dolls would spring to life!

[normanrafferty.livejournal.com]

My plush The Cheat, of course! Then I could plot catastrophe, with schemes so masterly, with plans so dastardly, and take tea at half past three!

[delako.livejournal.com]

Ive got this little donut...I really wish it was a full sized donut!!!


I dont really collect anything else :)

[araquan.livejournal.com]

Hmm. I'd probably vote for my Figment statue. }:>

[r-caton.livejournal.com]

My little Fig might be nice but.... I'd go for my Dave Hopkins' drawing of Farrago...although a 12" furry angel might take some explaining away.....

[nicodemusrat.livejournal.com]

So, if I vote for a drawing of my furry character, does that mean I'd become furry or I'd bring into existence a doppelganger? If it's me, then that's my choice. :)

[athelind.livejournal.com]

Just to be arbitrary, I'm gonna say that drawings or sculptures of your alter-ego would yield a doppleganger -- but a fursuit gets to be Really You.

[hitchkitty.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yeah! I remember when those rings came out. Pretty sure my father has one somewhere. Glowed in the dark, right?

[athelind.livejournal.com]

That's the one.

[reveille-d.livejournal.com]

My Liger-0 Zoid. I would LOVE to 'drive' to work in a 50-foot tall, quadrupedal mechanoid.

[bigtig.livejournal.com]

Single items often limit you to a fantasy someone else came up with. I mean, yeah, there are TV shows, movies, and books I have enjoyed, but if I was limited to a single item, I don't know if I'd want to subscribe to someome elses idea of fun.

Like you, I'd go for a device that let me control my environment and have fun. Heck, maybe that D&D book of spells, or some other reality warping device.

A starship? Who needs it. It's all going to come to using amazing powers for practical jokes afterall.

[ssthisto.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm.

I like Onissarle's idea - making a representation of Penny Crayon's magical marker into the fully-functional example.

Then we get a virtually endless supply of anything we can draw.
