Herb the Battle Unicorn History

Herb the Battle Unicorn was born in 2017 as a silly character as seen in this Herb the Battle Unicorn calling card from the same year. It was soon after the creation of this character that a strange unicorn craze began across the nation. Everything unusual was suddenly hailed a “unicorn” and unicorn products of every description began to proliferate absurdly, so, eventually, the action figure project evolved from the original character. 

At first Herb graced a greeting card project, an interest of Walla Walla Wickidity Works since our endeavors in the realm of High Weirdness by Mail in the 80s. 

The action figure project was suggested by the weird surge in unicornation right after the creation of Herb the Battle Unicorn as a drawing. The method of unicorn creation was similar to a method employed in other projects such as COSMIC, which is explored elsewhere. It is a method we at the Wickidity Works have dubbed “junk shop mysticism” and it worked by way of finding a horse of some description and turning it into a unicorn, then watching the news daily for a synchronicity. It worked.
