I've always had a soft spot for Accoutrements and all their wacky novelty action figures. I believe the first one I ever saw was Edgar Allen Poe. Then Jesus. Then Casanova. Then who knows. There are a ton. It wasn't until recently that I decided to start hunting down a select few. Luckily most of them are readily available on eBay without breaking the bank. The first I will review is the famed English novelist, Jane Austen. While I can honestly say I've never read any of her books, I have seen plenty of film adaptations of her work. Plus she has twice been the subject of the amazing trend of novel mash-ups with Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. There's nothing like a pop-culture gimmick to expose people to the classics. I know this action figure is meant to be absurd, but it's honestly pretty cool. It's well made, accurate, and quirky. What's not to like? Let's check her out below.
Jane comes with a Writing Desk, a Feather Quill, and a copy of Pride & Prejudice.
Here are those two mashups I mentioned in the beginning
Time for a Comparison Shot!
Cheers!
