Yup.
http://accoutrements.com/products/11247.html
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 . . . . _________________ Strata here: [url=http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/242293]Nanowrimo[/url] - [url=www.fanart-central.net/user-Stratadrake.php]FAC[/url] - [url=http://stratadrake.deviantart.com]dA[/url] - [url=www.furaffinity.net/user/Stratadrake/]FA[/url]

Oooh, Shakespere... I'll have to be getting that. Does he come with kung-fu death grip? _________________ [url=http://dollyrockersinc.piczo.com][img]http://pic.piczo.com/img/i122379787_59088_3.gif[/img][/url] |

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! _________________ [url=http://dollyrockersinc.piczo.com][img]http://pic.piczo.com/img/i122379787_59088_3.gif[/img][/url] |

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. _________________ Strata here: [url=http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/242293]Nanowrimo[/url] - [url=www.fanart-central.net/user-Stratadrake.php]FAC[/url] - [url=http://stratadrake.deviantart.com]dA[/url] - [url=www.furaffinity.net/user/Stratadrake/]FA[/url]

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. |
