You'd need more than to get rid of a little reflection for that not to abviously be a plastic horse.
I voted you a 4. If you want a high-scoring shot of this set-up still life type, there are a few things you need to work on. These are primarily lighting - doesn't have to be expensive studio lights, desk lights are perfectly adequate, and paper is great for reflectors and diffusers. Backgrounds - carpet ain't great, it turns into a mess when seen close-up - again paper is fine, bedsheets aren't bad but be careful about creases looking ugly. You need to realise that people like clean, bright images here - smoothness counts for a lot: the dents in the sign don't help, the strange edge of the sign likewise, and I already mentioned the carpet background.
Lighting isn't about just making an object visible, remember: it's also about shaping that object, or rather about showing the shape and texture of an object.
