The historical action figure game

Did it again-sorry, forgot to add someone.

Johnny Carson

The Johnny Carson action figure comes with your choice of Trophy Wife action figures, an Ed McMahon action figure with Super Stinky Sidekick Flatulence Action ™, and a Tonight Show studio playset. Wardrobe by Botany 500.

Frederick Douglass.

The Douglass action figures caused a bit of a scandal when it was learned they were actually leftover action figures of Eddie from the BARBERSHOP playset put into an old fashioned outfit, while the caption “He’ll escape from the box and write into your heart!” was seen as endearing by some and offensive by others.

Lucy the Australopithecus Afarensis

Lucy,
part of the Quest for Fire Parade set, Lucy comes with amazing Bipedal Locomotion™ not available on earlier models, self groomable RealHair and SavannaSetting. Other hominids sold separately.
Lao Tzu

The Lao Tzu that comes as an action figure is not the eternal Lao Tzu…
Loretta Lynn

Comes with Doo, a husband action figure who can leave actual bruises on the LL action figure but who neither Barbie nor any of the BRATZ dolls are woman enough to take. Also comes with autobiographical film that for some reason one can never resist the urge to watch when it’s on the TV.

King Mongkut of Siam The name might not be familiar but he’s been played on film by Rex Harrison, Yul Brynner, [Chow Yun Fat](chow yun fat siam) and on-stage by Lou Diamond Phillips and Leonard Nimoy among others, but not exactly a lookalike for any of them.

King Mongkut of Siam waltzing action figure comes complete with dance partner, Anna Leonowens (not available in Thailand). Can of * Off!*[sub]TM[/sub] not included.

Alexander Litvinenko

Bzzt! I invoke the “no obscure characters” rule.

Sigh. People should read the papers more often.

Florence Nightingale.

Comes complete with KGB assasin action figure, umberella dart gun and radioactive pellets.
Not for use by children under 12.

Florence Nightingale

Nurses sick action figures for a few minutes then spends the rest of her very very very long action-figure life in bed.
King Solomon

Wait! Where’s Flo’s lamp and the dead horse she found in the drains of the hospital in Scutari? I want my money back.

Solomon action figure comes with a Pondering Chair, where you can make him sit and think about dilemmas, and a sword with a baby that can split in half. Concubines sold separately.

Ayn Rand

:smack:

You’re right – sorry.

Figure cancelled due to entirely correct community protests.
John Paul Jones

Comes with naval uniforms and bass guitar

Jack Kerouac

Hard to find, since this action figure is usually On the Road.
Timothy Leary.

Hard to find, since Dr. Leary is usually off in the 8th Dimension, levitating.

Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin.

BOOM!

Garfield (no, not the cat)

The James A. Garfield action figure is part of the Undeservedly Obscure Presidents collection. Clad in a form-fitting frock coat, Garfield favors civil-service reform, is ambidextrous and can write simultaneously in Greek and Latin (as could the original!). Manufacturer recommendation: keep away from the Charles Guiteau action figure. Secret Service action figures not available.

Charles Bronson.

The Charles Bronson doll puts the “action” in “action figure.” Comes with a variety of firearms and the knowledge of how to use them. Pull his string and he mumbles memorable lines from his films. New York City “Death Wish” and WWII prison camp “Great Escape” playsets sold separately.

Julius Rosenberg
