A beaten up shuttlecock?

Nope.

Looks like a broken lightbulb to me.

a pacifier?

All wrong, so far. Hint: it’s to do with a rather geeky hobby.

Oh, I think I got it!
Looking at it upside down, it’s a monster roll-playing piece?

Its a dehumidifier – used for removing humidity from really poorly insulated East Coast Bays houses…. Oh you mean the even smaller blue thing 🙂

Aww shucks – its a heater not a dehumidifier… I got confused by the wrong season….

Adrian is on the right track. Yes, it is a miniature for RPGs. Now for bonus points, can anyone identify the exact monster?

Damn, that’s as far as my geek cred goes!
It looks to me either like Scully from Monsters Inc. or a screaming tree:)

I’ve added a closeup to the post above. Hint #2: it’s a Dungeons & Dragons Miniature (my kids were obsessed with them at the time).

OK – no-one’s gonna get this. It’s a Medium Water Elemental. As seen here.
Adrian wins, for knowing just how geeky I can be. Your prize: I’ll buy you a coffee next time I see you (Armageddon, maybe?).

Cool!
Although with the way the industry is going we may all just be sitting around empty handed at the convention telling people to go look up our websites…so there should be plenty of time for coffee;)
