Action figures

I have a Sigmund Freud action figure thanks to a jet-setting friend but did not know just how many famous figures have been immortalized in plastic until now. Pope Innocent III is only one of a number who should make their way into the Flea's curiosity cabinet. Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain is the very model of a professiorial accomplishment and so would be first on my list (via the Melbourne Truth of blogs).

Introduce this Pope Innocent III Action Figure to your other figures and watch the spiritual sparks fly! Armed with his formidable power of excommunication and an intimidating scroll inscribed with Latin text, this 6" tall, hard plastic model of the 176th Pope will soon have all your other action figures lining up for confession. Read the back of the illustrated blistercard and you’ll find that Pope Innocent III was a good guy in all respects. He was a patron of the arts, cared about orphans, built a hospital and reunified the Papal States! Comes with removable fancy Pope hat.

there weren't so many options a few years ago. at the time, i think there was freud, jesus and maybe moses. i think the whole market really broke open when they made the librarian action doll.
