Just one picture, but a decent amount of discussion, so this got a whole
blog entry for itself.
</P>

The obvious bits are: (1) the The Penguin figure, and (2) a mini-giant
rubber ducky.  The Penguin is a HeroClix figure, and I just cut him at
the waist and stuck him on the duck.  What happened to his legs?

The duck is a mini duck, much smaller than a regular bathtub
<a href=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh85R-S-dh8>rubber duckie</a>,
but just right for this project.

<a href=https://amzn.to/2Xv8h2z>This one</a> is about right for a 28mm
project.  It's a little pricey, but other than that, your options are
either get a

<a href=https://amzn.to/2Xtrr93>theme decorated one, or buy 1.73 billion ducks at a time</a>.

I did neither.  I bummed one off a friend who bought 16 bejillion ducks for
a school carnival duck pond game.  Actually, we paid for half the ducks,
pool, and Sharipe markers, so I guess I should write off $.03 less on my
taxes for the donation to the school.
</P>
<P>
If you follow me and my mini madness, it is remarkable that the penguins
are not on a flat black base, but a flat white base.  That means that
wherever the penguins go, they will take a little patch of snow with them.
I can tolerate this much more than on other figures, even though I know
that penguins in their natural habitat are not 24/7 on snow.
</P>
<P>
But where are they from?  The Penguin!  Yes, each one of this model of
The Penguin, has three penguins on its base.  If I cut Burgess Meredith
off for projects, I should also use the pingus.  I actaully bought a handful
of the 'clix figure for the pingus, instead of the human figure, and I 
just assumed I would come up with something to do with the human part.
He's a decent civilian, and I even made a Hercule Poirot conversion from
one.  The umbrellas are a bit offputting, but I have cut them off and 
used them for other projects - mostly parasols, but also

</P>
<P>
All the penguins <b><i>except</i></b> the biggest one.  My penguin emperor
is from an animal 
<a href=https://amzn.to/3gmOQSs>Toob</a> 
sets.  Again, I'm cheap, so I usually pick them up from a discount bin.
But I am also very confident that I will use all the different figures
(of different sizes) for some project or another.
