Ahem, Tracy, let me refine the obscure persons rule: If it’s anybody that the average Doper (we’re a pretty erudite bunch, but come on, even we aren’t omniscient) has to google, it’s too obscure for the game. Maggie of Anjou is declared a defunct entry. New Historical Action Figure:
Sigh. Let’s refine the obscure persons rule: If it’s anybody that the average Doper (we’re a pretty erudite bunch, but come on, even we aren’t omniscient) has to google, it’s too obscure for the game. Please stick to instantly recognizable persons. We now return you to the regularly-scheduled thread.
Alexander the Great and Bugger- that’s easy enough. Comes with “significant other” action figure. Put armor on and it’s Hepheastion; remove the armor and the testicles and it’s Bagoas.
Mary Magdalene
The Mary Magdelene action figure comes with your choice of two outfits, depending upon your preference in Scriptural interpretation: either the tattooed harlot, or the demure companion of Christ. The DaVinci Code Louvre Tomb playset sold separately.
Pull her string, and she says, “My big fat ass? 've been to the Doctor, Franklin, and strangely anough your name didn’t come up.”
Not reccomended for use with other action figures, lest she put them in a wheel chair.
H. Ross Perot Doll : sorry but due to lack of interest this doll never made it to the shops and all remaining Ross Perot dolls have been buried in a landfill next to the Atari ET game cartridges.
Ian Paisley
I had to Google him. This doll comes dressed in green, with a shamrock on his derby. Pull his string to hear his position on the Roman Catholic Church and homosexuals! Bodyguards sold separately.
JOHN LENNON (query–do the people have to be dead? And please 'splain the Eleanor Roosevelt joke)
H. Ross Perot action figure was planned to have a business suit, white socks, a tiny easel, folding charts and colored pens.
Canceled due the presence of tiny parts that could be swallowed by Independents.
Franklin and Eleanor apparently did not get along well.
Eleanor entered the room while Franklin was playing poker with his cronies. He ignored her. She turned at the top of the stairway and announced, “If you care, I went to the Doctor today!”
“Did he say”, responded Franklin, “anything about your big fat ass?”
“Frankly,” retorted Eleanor, “Your name didn’t come up.”
The John Lennon action figure comes with an assortment of guitars, outfits ranging from collarless grey suit to India caftan to “I Love New York” T-shirt. Other three Beatles action figures sold separately. Playsets include Liverpool flat, Hamburg bar, “Ed Sullivan Show” set, Shea Stadium, roof of Apple Corps studios, and Dakota condo. Yoko Ono action figure discontinued due to intense public hostility.
