HOW TO PICK PROPS

Could be a cartoon crab...it looks like it has antennas at the top and a number of legs moving sideways (granted not the correct number of legs, lol) at the bottom.

兹 - probably one of the more difficult props on MBM due to its relatively rare usage and abstract meanings.
Playing with the various Pleco definitions for this word: 'here', 'now', 'this', (among others) bring to mind parts of various song names. Going with Michael Jackson for this prop due to his song 'This Is It'.
Other props resembling the MBM definition of 兹 - 'Ancient Year' could be a sundial, or other ancient form of measuring years (perhaps even a symbol of Chinese New Year?).
As a degree of separation, one could also go with a car tire prop - as in the 'GoodYear' brand.
