Big fig casuality
6.07.2005 9:47 PM \| Link	You may know that I have several Disney big figs (giant resin character statues), and I've put them in various places around my condo because I'm out of shelf space. One of them was a Jiminy Cricket that's always been a bit unstable (this isn't the Jiminy Cricket in rag clothes that was my first big fig, but a second one that I got later). He was posed holding his top hat in the air and leaning on his umbrella, so he was definitely wobbly and top heavy (in fact, he had fallen over once already on the carpet - actually a pretty bad design stability-wise!). Well, I've had him on a ledge by my staircase for at least six months, and last night he finally decided to wobble too far! I was just sitting upstairs when I heard a huge crash - Jiminy had fallen about ten feet to my hard tile floor. Poor cricket! He's definitely a total loss, but I'm not too sad - I still have another Jiminy, and I'm just glad it didn't happen in the middle of the night (because I would have totally pooped my PJs!). So, raise your glass to a fallen big fig - I'll just have to buy another one in his honor! Labels: disney, life
