The Jacques Cousteau action figure is fully waterproof and charmingly French. He comes with a customized SCUBA, wetsuit and knit cap. Calypso playset and John Denver action figure sold separately.
The Jacques Cousteau action figure is the anchorpiece [no pun intended] of a comprehensive kit of Cousteau’s world of marine exploration! The basic exploration kit includes a 16"-long engine-powered replica of the Calypso with two LED lights illuminating the watery depths, two baking-soda-activated divers, a cameraman with replica TV camera, a replica underwater camera that fits in Jacques Cousteau’s hand, a small fishnet that fits into the hand of the divers, a miniature “Cousteau Society” membership certificate, and a miniature Medal of Freedom that you can drape around J.C.'s neck! Requires two “D” batteries; batteries not included.
The “Marine World of Wonder” accessories kit, suitable for bathtubs, pools, or fishtanks, includes a HUGE vinyl panorama [2’ x. 3’] with a photorealistic reef picture printed on one side; the reverse has suction cups for attaching to the bottom of a bathtub, fishtank, etc., and an assortment of twelve marine creatures, weighted for neutral bouyancy, that your divers can explore and collect!
Elazar ben Ya’ir comes with attractive robes, sword, and Amazing Zealot Leadership Voice Action ™. He can talk anyone into committing heroic suicide, so this action figure is not suitable for moping preschoolers or sullen teens.
Ulysses S. Grant comes with a sackful of empty bourbon and whiskey bottles, a replica of his horse, a replica of his revolver, a hundred plastic figurines of Union soldiers to command, a writing desk and a miniature ream of blank paper.
*William Randolph Hearst ** comes with a San Simeon replica mountain and manse fantasy playset, complete with FIFTY miniature statues, oil paintings and such representing the lifelong accumulated wealth of a media tycoon. This newspaper magnate also comes with several miniature newspapers, tinted yellow, with glaring, provocative headlines (samples: “SCANDAL!” and “SAVE THE PHILIPPINES!”) The Hearst accessories, sold separately, include: a realistic 16"-long engine-powered replica of his luxury yacht, with two LED lights illuminating the watery depths; a frumpy “Mrs. Hearst” inaction doll; a tarty Marion Davies yodelling action figure with fully articulated joints (for dancing The Charleston or misbehaving with William!).
Methinks this kit is manufactured by the same company that makes the Jacques Cousteau action figure and accessories.
Well, I just learned a lot about them on Wikipedia! The Heloise and Abelard action figures come as a pair, but don’t tell her jealous, overprotective uncle. The H&A playset includes a library filled with books, a cloister for their clandestine meetings, and a classroom for Abelard to hold forth to his adoring students (sold separately). Due to the delicate nature of their later relationship, it is suggested that the castration knife and Gang o’ Vengeful Toughs ™ (also sold separately) be discarded upon purchase.
William McKinley- pull the button on his back and he has instant “Petit-Mal Face Covering Action” with the Ida McKinley figure (sold separately), though due to magnets he’s repulsed by the Teddy Roosevelt figure. Sold with the Court of Lilies Light Brite & Paint Gun playset.
Muhammad
Comes with an even-handed, yet pretty glowing “bio” card, and a facial sculpt based off of a 13th century illuminated manuscript by Persian historian Rashid al-Din Tabib.
The death toll from rioting five hours after the figure’s release in believed to be in the hundreds—oddly enough, almost all in countries where the figure was never even released.
(Just as well—all the spin-off figures in the line would’ve sucked. Like “Color-Change Hydro-Blast Muhammed.” “Flight Armor Muhammed,” “Twisted Psychopathic Fanatic Cleric from a Religious Faction Muhammed Himself Would have Found Bewildering and Primitive”…the Saladin figure was pretty bitchin, true, but he’s shortpacked.)
Jonah comes with whale, shelter, and fast-growing plant. Part of the Nineveh children’s line, which includes sneakers with “leftleftleft” and “rightrightright” shoelaces.
Walter Winchell
The Lizzie Borden action figure comes complete with axe, Fall River 1892 playset (including the murder house and a courtroom), and two corpse inaction figures. Suspicious Muttering Townsfolk action figures sold separately.
crap-I can’t remember off hand just which one she was. IF she is Henry Tudor’s mom, then she comes with shifty eyes, a rabid sense of her own importance and lots of secret papers marked with red roses. Pull her string and listen to her talk trash about Yorkists!
Other Figures of Political Intrigue sold separately.
