Abstract
A fiber optic enhanced figurine assembly includes a figurine body having a figurine outer surface, and a bunch of fibers affixed to the figurine body and extending outwardly from the figurine outer surface. The fiber bunch includes a plurality of nonilluminatable fibers extending outwardly at least a first distance from the figurine outer surface. The fiber bunch further includes at least one illuminatable optical fiber that extends outwardly from the figurine outer surface to a second distance less than the first distance of the nonilluminatable fibers. The figurine assembly further includes a light source for selectively illuminating the at least one optical fiber to visually and decoratively enhance the fiber bunch.
