Funko Pop Cousins

Madeleine has managed to combine all her current obsessions while playing with her Deet Funko Pop action figure.

MADELEINE: Mommy.  I'm making Deet have THREE human - or, maybe not so human - cousins.  So.  Eleven from "Stranger Things" is her cousin.  Sophie from "Keeper of the Lost Cities" is her cousin.  And Harry Potter is her cousin.
ME: So Gelfling and humans can be related?
MADELEINE: (as if it's obvious) Yeah!  Gelfling LOOK like humans.  Except they just have BIG EARS.

When Madeleine plays with her Deet figure, she likes to add other "Dark Crystal" characters, even though she only has one other action figure from the series (a Skekse called "The Hunter.")  So she improvises with what she's got on hand.  She uses a Hagrid Funko Pop figure for the part of the Gelfling Rian.  That kind of makes sense, since both Hagrid and Rian have dark hair.  Things get more creative from there, however.  I'm constantly trying to put away pencils, pens, or rolls of Scotch tape, only to be told: "No!  That's Brea!"  So, lucky for me, now do I not only have Funko Pop action figures cluttering up various surfaces of my house, but an assortment of pencils, clothespins, and what not lined up neatly next to the action figures.

At least now we'll get to add more inanimate objects to be Eleven, Sophie, and Harry.  The more the merrier, right??
