No and no.

You are partly right on the color. It is green and white, although it can really be any color with the most common being solid gray.

It is actually part of a set of four, although I had an extra in green so I stashed it away in the drawer and forgot about it. The other three are mauve and white, blue and white, and peach and white. But again, the color is only decorative and not really relevant.

</div>

Does it represent an animate creature of any sort, fictional or otherwise? (eg, a human, a muppet, etc)

Is it made of plastic?

Is it a souvenir?

Is it a souvenir of a particular place?

Is the object it represents normally bigger than a breadbox?

Is the object it represents a vehicle of some sort?

Is the object it represents a structure of some sort?

Is the object it represents a generic object (a boat) rather than a specific object (the titanic) ?

I must say, I’m stumped so far.

Is it a **Crazy Bone**? You know, those little plastic toy-things that kids collect? They come in sets of four, and are colorful. They also don’t do anything, but I really want one very badly. (Please please please let it be a Crazy Bone…)

Okay, I feel stupid. Somehow I keep dicking up and posting multiple post. I hope a mod comes to clean up my mess before more people see. I only hit SUBMIT once, I swear.

Generic, although it does have individual character in the original set of four.

Crazy bone? Unless it takes batteries, there isn’t one in my drawer.

A green ceramic minature of My Little Pony?

I hope I’m wrong. I really don’t want to own one.

Not my little pony or stacking dolls.

You’re getting close, but remember that although this one is green and I have three others in different colors, the real thing is usually gray.

An elephant(they can be pink, have you seen “Dumbo”?)

That’s it for now. I’ll try to think of more.

A figurine of a North American mammal ?

I am afraid to say that if it were one of those annoying Intel guys, I would have already torched it with a lighter, shot it with my son’s BB gun, and ran over it with the car. Smiling, the entire time.
