They are weapons!

I came down to the kitchen and every action figure that Zach could find was holding a new weapon he discovered. He thought that was pretty cool. I didn't say anything, just smiled. He was being inventive. Notice how his action figures don't miss out on anything, even if they are missing a limb. Must be those cotton swap light sabers. We have and armless power ranger, a legless batman, but they don't miss a beat with Zach.

A little bit later I came back into the room and the whole box of cotton swabs was dumped out on the couch....yes, more weapons were needed.
