My daughter is obsessed with Nicol Bolas....need a little help for her upcoming birthday.

So my youngest daughter recently got into Magic (around the Ixalan release), and her birthday is coming up in just over a month. So I'm trying to plan ahead. I asked her if she has any ideas on what she wants for the theme...and she said "Anything Nicol Bolas".

...I'm not joking, her love for Nicol is...almost disturbing. She cried with the Dominaria lore release because she's worried someone will take him down. She ROOTS FOR HIM, people. She plays his planeswalker decks, and will play Liliana's occasionally because "she's on his team!" She won't touch Gideon's, for example, because "he's mean to Bolas and he wants him gone."

Last week I got a text from one of her teachers, telling me that she had made a paper version of Bolas and was chasing a boy that annoyed her, with it. Teacher was amused by the tiny paper dragon, thankfully, and said that mostly she was surprised at the detail and the idea.

Does anyone have any ideas on what to do, or what to get her? She asked if there's any plush dolls of him, or if she could somehow get a decal/poster for her room....she wants one of the standees but that's WAY out unfortunately.

Edit: Someone is sending her one of the prerelease giveaway standees, and thank you so much for the other offers! I am slightly also terrified by the thought of a billion Bolases staring at me from all corners of a room.

Edit edit: This went way beyond what was expected. I've been operating at half-dead status all month, and I thought maybe the MTG crowd would be able to come up with some creative ideas and help my sleep-deprived brain. Not only did yall come up with some fantastic ideas (horn crowns are going to be a must, the Nicol note, the dice and tokens I didn't even know existed, etc...), but you have been...wonderfully kind, and encouraging. Thank you. Thank you all so much, and I sincerely mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Last Edit I promise: I posted an update at https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/8q2hat/thank_you_wotc_starcitygames_and_of/
