Sort of... but not yet in my crew! I based my "Cousin Monday" figure on a character created by a friend on another forum. That "Cousin Monday" was intended to represent one of the Addams Family clan, a relative of Wednesday Addams. I do not have a "Wednesday" and am trying to avoid
directly basing my characters on licensed properties.
I'm sure you are well aware of how character relationships evolve, often seemingly on their own, in our collections, and sometimes across our connections with other collectors. As it stands now, Cousin Monday is a cousin to Doctor Evil (from the Captain Action line; so much for avoiding licensed properties), and to his cousin called, creatively, Cousin Doctor Evil. An Australian friend also has a Doctor Evil, who became Australian Cousin Doctor Evil. And then there is cousin-by-mutual-agreement-rather-than-blood Cousin Kamiko of Kimono Troop Command (ThePhotogsBlog).
Tuesday was initially an experiment in "Phicen-izing" Cousin Monday, but I realized I like the original Momoko doll version of Monday (Momoko head on a TBLeague body) too much to replace her, so New Monday became, through lack of any attempt at originality, Cousin Tuesday.
I
do like the gothy "Addams" look (when I was a kid, I wanted to be Gomez Addams as portrayed by John Astin when I grew up), so there is potential for a Thursday, a Friday, etcetera, but I will likely skip over Wednesday. There's always that one family member that nobody dares to mention, right?
