Her weapon of choice: Character Study

[pegkerr]

I am extremely jealous of sartorias, who got a Jane Austen Action Figure for Christmas. How did she score that, and who do I have to kill to get one?

Hee. A friend got one of those for Christmas, too - we found it on an excursion to Northfield, in an art supply store, along with a Shakespeare and an Edgar Allan Poe. :)

They sell them at Archie McPhee's (http://www.mcphee.com/items/11513.html). Now put away that axe. :-)

Oh yes, when I saw that on sartorias's lj, I immediately said She Must Be Mine. Archie McPhee is my friend.

Have you tried the Unemployed Philosophers Guild? =)

Oh my! I love the Little Thinkers! Thank you -- and they even ship internationally without exorbitant rates! Squee!

my thought process:

Ok, I need the Sigmund Freud action figure.

OR! Maybe the Oscar Wilde action figure?

Maybe I need both?

Oooh, kinky.

They have one at the Borders on University Ave and Hamline if you want almost instant gratification. My grandmother gave my son a gift card there, and we saw Jane as we headed into the children's section. My son's only 3 but he loved the literary action figures.

Merchandising is strange...

It's by Archie McPhee (who also make the famous librarian action figure)

Have you seen the finger puppet and doll?

Also I have a Jane Austen bobblehead somewhere that I'm not using...

My local indy used/new bookstore carries a range of those figures actually, and I've seen them in other places. In addition to JA, there's E.A. Poe, a librarian figure (with shushing action!), Ben Franklin (as a born-and-bred Philadelphian, Penn grad and general Franklin fan I really ought to get that one) and I think a few others.
