Unicorns are everywhere at the moment. You can find them on pillows, shelves, shirts, in books, tv shows, and I could go on. The mythological creature is generally described as a white horse with a long horn. The thing is, though, a lot of unicorns are stereotyped to be pretty, princess, girly unicorns. That's not a bad thing, but what about other people? I think we should all have the opportunity to own a unicorn!

So I've compiled a list of my favourite Unicorn figures from MiniZoo. I believe you can find something for every unicorn lover; young or old, boy or girl. Just click on the photos to see more. Let's get started.

The Classic Unicorn

I'll start with one that is generally seen as a classic unicorn. This figure is from the brand, Mojo, and is simply a white horse with a long horn, as we described before. A perfect gender neutral creature for any mythological collection.

The Rainbow Unicorn

These stunning unicorns were released by Schleich earlier this year. This family of Rainbow Unicorns includes a Mare, Foal and Stallion. You will love the rainbow colouring in the mane and tail, making them suitable for any gender.

"This family of rainbow unicorns lives on a grassy plain by the rainbow river. In the light of the morning sun, the manes of the three magical creatures gleam in all the colours of the rainbow. Like most unicorns, they are very shy. The handful of lucky individuals who have seen them report that they are incredibly colourful and graceful. And they tell tales of gemstones in all the colours of the rainbow that adorn the flanks of the magical unicorns. Many mysterious tales are told about these creatures – and nobody knows whether the tales are true. But all the tales agree that the rainbow unicorns are incredibly beautiful and magical creatures."

The Dark Unicorn

The Dark Unicorn by Mojo was also released this year and became available at MiniZoo in late May. The Dark Unicorn is the same mould as the Classic unicorn we saw earlier. Dark Unicorns can easily camouflage into a dark forest, making them more rare to see and a very special piece for any collector.

See the Mojo Dark Pegasus, Papo Black Pegasus, or Safari Ltd's Twilight Pegasus for more 'dark' mythological horses.

The Baby Unicorn

We stock a variety of Unicorn foals to suit your taste and style. These include the Bullyland Unicorn Foal, Papo Young Unicorn, Safari Ltd Baby Unicorn, Schleich's Bayala Miriel, and of course, the Rainbow Foal we looked at earlier.

The Battle Unicorn 

Papo have done exceptionally well with creating Unicorns specifically for the miniature world of knights. These unicorns are equipped with armour, ready for battle! There is a variety of Papo knights available that can be used to ride these magical creatures into battle.

There is even a Unicorn knight. That's right, boys, an awesome medieval knight with a sword, shield and armour, fighting for Unicorns. Can you get any cooler than that?!

Those are just some of the Unicorn figurines we stock. Notice how all these unicorn toys aren't only female? There are quite a few Unicorn Stallions available too, and the only difference between a Horse stallion and a Unicorn stallion is that the Unicorn has a horn on it's head and is a mythological creature. That actually sounds more masculine to me than not. Boys collect horse models, and they can collect unicorn models too. Unicorns are perfect for medieval castle play with dragons and dungeons.
