You Just Can't Make This Sort Of Stuff Up

Yup.

Isn't that crazy? They've been out for about a year or so, I see them at Powell's bookstore, and there's over a dozen historical figures in the whole line -- including such names as Einstein, Freud, and Shakespeare. I don't know exactly when they came out, but there's something really . . . Strong Bad -like about them. Yeah, who else would truly appreciate, say, a "Jesus Action Figure" ?

Maybe the relatives at the upcoming Christmas gift exchange. I can hardly wait to see the laughs that erupt when they find out what my exchange gift is . . . .

Oooh, Shakespere... I'll have to be getting that. Does he come with kung-fu death grip?

My Lit. teacher bought a Poe one. I don't know what she did with it, but it's somewhere around the room.

Hee! I love the "Crazy Cat Lady". All them kitties...!

I actually kinda like the Cleopatera one. I mean, she's a badass Egyptian queen. She does deserve her own action figure damnit!

I own the "Albino Bowler Action Figure"

Same company. On the back of the case, they advertise Sigmund Freud and Jesus.

With Authentic Bowiling Movement! or something.

It's beautiful.

I guess the "Librarian" Action Figure was so memorable from last year's family gift exchange, that this year, someone mixed in a "Marie Antionette" Action Figure.

The action feature? That's right -- her head pops off. W00t!

At first I thought you wrote "Libertarian" action figure. Like Howard Dean or something (Yeah I know he's a democrat)

I did read of a Adolf Hitler action figure a few years ago. I think Antarctic Press had something to do with it. Whether or not they went through with it is another story, I didn't care enough to follow up on it.

When I saw "librerian figure" i thought you meant the Terry Pratchett orangutan librarian... My mum has one I think... maybe. Seen them around though. They're sweet.
