A Klingon 'cruiser' spaceship toy model from the movie Star Trek VI. The box shows a boxy body with two extended nacelles drooping off of each end. A long narrow neck connects the rest of the ship to the bridge, which resembles a sphere with a sombrero-shaped structure atop it.
A boxed Star Trek Tricorder toy/replica from The Next Generation show. It's a gray plastic prop that unfolds to reveal buttons (or stickers that look like buttons) and a small screen. It features lights and sounds, according to the package.
A pale blue dragonfly with green eyes resting on a rock.
A zoomed in photo of a sandhill crane preening itself.
A somewhat crude pottery elephant, yellow with brown spots, with its trunk upraised. It's sitting on a wooden shelf beside other ceramics and keepsakes. The tag claims it's a lamp. It has hooded eyes which give it a disapproving or suspicious look.
A Nerf toy revolver painted with copper and bronze for an antique metal look. Various heatsinks, knobs, and electronic components are glued to it along with a tube filled with green goo back above the grip. Its grip has a piece of trimmed leather attached. Some dirty smudges have been added here and there to make it look slightly weathered. The aesthetic is steampunk.
A toy Nerf blaster, originally blue, yellow and gray, painted a deep metallic purple with black and silver accents. It's a revolver with a six-shot chamber, a button used to swing the revolver out of its frame so it can be reloaded. A slide on the top at the back is used to cock it. It has a grip sized well for adult hands and a trigger with a full guard around it. The term 'maverick rev-6' is printed as part of the plastic in the frame below the cylinder and the raised lettering has been painted silver, as have all of the fake screws molded into the frame.
Golden, orange, and yellow leaves photographed against a backdrop of a cloud-strewn blue sky. The dark lines of branches and twigs are a sharp contrast with the other colors.
