Jane Austen Action Figure to go on sale in June
May 3, 2005
Yes, gentle readers, you read that right: a Jane Austen Action Figure.
We do not have much information, having only heard about it at our JASNA region meeting this past Sunday; our Regional Coordinator had received a flyer about the action figure in the mail. (Upon hearing the news, your Editrix let out a squeal that could be heard by all dogs within a thirty-mile radius.) The flyer said that the action figure comes with a tiny plastic (faux) copy of Pride and Prejudice, a quill pen, and a writing desk.
We are told that a mid- to late-June release is scheduled. Details will follow when we receive them.
I need a bowl, or a WC, or a sink. That is definitely revolting. Why can’t you just carry around pocket editions of her works (like Willoughby did for Shakespeare). We defy such petty plastic for the heavy print of the Master (er, Mistress).
Aw, you’re no fun! I can’t wait to get one.
