Ok, hopefully this is not the codeine talking but i saw some pics of devastated, collapsed buildings due to war, hurricane or serious rioting, and in just a couple pics a toilet was visible in the wreckage.
This was kind of funny despite the misery and suffering the pic represented, and i acknowledge that. I think in one pic a particularity strong and brave soul apparently carried a toilet to the top of a heap of rubble, possibly risking life and limb to do it, and planted it on top. It just looked too perfectly set up to be an accident. I guess he was making a statement of just needed a laugh.
So. i'm pretty sure there isn't, but sometimes model railroaders get a little crazy with detail, are there any 28mm scale miniatures of toilets? I've never seen a toilet in any imperial ruins that i can remember. I just like the idea quietly slipping one or two into some ruined imperial buildings and seeing if anyone notices. Maybe have one sitting on a heap of rubble, crudely painted gold with grafitti and an arrow pointing to it that says "Golden throne this way" to indicate some cultists had some fun.

I have one that came as part of Mantic's 2nd terraincrate kickstarter. Pretty sure the sets are now available retail or coming to retail soon.
It's part of a set though so I'm not sure if you want to buy the rest of it.

I prefer to buy from miniature manufacturers that *don't* support the overthrow of democracy. |

Well, I looked on the one site I would expect there to be some ( debris of war) and there was nothing. Everything else though, instead maybe you could have your opponents be all like Super Hans and make them go "What the hell is a washing machine doing in the middle of this building? Jesus I need a drink!"  EDIT- Not exactly what you're after, but I found this resin outhouse by Ainsty castings.

TTCombat do toilets, fridges, rubbish sacks, teddy bears...
It's the kind of detail that post- apoc games, or supers and other modern civilian games, might want. Just for some detail, or cover. Or something to throw at bad guys...

In really high quality resin, no less! All part of their City Streets scenics line. Everyone needs a fridge to hide in when the other guy nukes the site!
They sell portaloos too. Just saying.

I'm glad people took this thread serioulsy, i was thinking someone might accuse me of trolling.
Anyway, the idea of toilet sitting unobtrusively in a pile of wreckage is kinda funny especially if you don't empathize it.
Think of it as a terrain version of a video game 'easter egg'...
Hmm, terrain easter eggs. I kinda hope someone does a thread on that here.
On the subject of toilets and terrain, a neighbor of mine replaced his toilet and the garbage men wouldn't take it so he made it into a piece of terrain in his yard. He turned it into a flower planter, with flowers growing in both the bowl and the tank.

Depending on the time period you want to model, Citadel Miniatures did a Fantasy Dwarf with toilet metal mini back in the 80's which are still available from 3rd party sellers.

Wow! I wasn't sure i'd get one valid, non snarky reply. Now I get all valid ones with no snark. I'm amazed.
