:lol: Are those for real? I guess I might have liked characters of The Illiad when I was a boy.

Who doesn't want some literary and philosophical plushies? I've always wanted a stuffed animal version of my lord and savior (Nietzsche) to put on a mantle piece somewhere.

The Nietzsche and Freud one made me laugh terribly. The latter looks like some kind of classic cartoon character I can't recall, while Nietzsche looks like a Muppet, as does the Gandhi doll. And what mother is going to want to explain to her son what Mr. Freud's most famous theory was?

I wonder if the Van Gough doll comes with the missing ear :bigear:

The Woolf one looks like a young man in drag and the Scream doll is een freakier than the painting itself. What sane parent gives their child a doll of the Scream? Frankly, the only one I'd buy for my theoretical kid would be the Buddha one; he's the only one that looks like that he will give you a hug and not give you nightmares.

Though, I would indeed only be wanting my kids to be playing and slobbering all over only the greatest of thinkers and artists. . .

[Maximilianus]

I want a Shakespeare with removable quill pen and book... especially the quill pen and book... they are tiny... and cute, like everything tiny :p :D

[Dark Muse]

Oh come on where is the Poe action figure?

I have a Poe plush doll, and he has a little zombie girlfriend.

[Niamh]

Oh dear. thats kinda... eh....

[Heteronym]

Action novelists!

Now we just need a movie where a bunch of real-life 19th century novelists and poets come together to save the world from crazy Tolstoy and his dreams of a social revolution. Imagine Jules Verne and H.G. Wells in the same team, trying to impress each other with scientific data. Or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle trying to prove he's smarter than his detective. Oscar Wilde saying cool one-liners in the face of total destruction. Dostoevsky betraying the team to the Czar. It'd be amazing and sales would go up, up, up!

[hillwalker]

What about Hemingway (real action doll with rifle and bottle of rum) or Barbara Cartland? (in 'Barbie' pink naturally)

[Night_Lamp]

There's also a Jesus action figure, with a bracelet that says W.W.I.D. : "what would I do?"

[Helga]

I already have the shakespeare figure, he stands on my desk next to a framed postcard of him looking into the fire and thinking about his work.

[hoope]

wow.. this is so lovely..
I want the Charles Dickens one :D

I have syphilis on my desk right now!

[Emil Miller]

I hate to say it but 'Only in America.'

This one has to be the most surreal of them all. I can hardly type this for laughing.
