Loved the Jane Austen figure. Added to a display of books. videos it completes the Austenite that is me!!!! Had trouble getting it out of the package; book came out of Jane’s hand ,won’t go back in , Very detailed, looks just like her!!?!
The perfect present for a lady who loves Jane Austen. I’m sure this memento will never leave the package because it is well loved. It arrived very quickly in perfect condition.
My friend loves Jane Austen so I knew I had to buy her this figurine the second I saw it. It’s a cute little gift and will definitely be appreciated by Austen fans big and small. This isn’t really a toy, though; my friend hasn’t removed it from the box because we don’t think it looks very durable.
Figure has good detail with book and writing table. Book fell out of the hand and could not be reinserted, but otherwise a good representation of Jane Austen.
You can’t even read “Jane Austen Action Figure” and not giggle to yourself! This is sort of Accoutrements, Inc.’s point.
I own the “Leonardo da Vinci Action Figure” and plan to add a few more to my collection.
No, I am not a collector of action figures, but these simply add personality to your desk or car (my Davinci Doll has been mounted on the dash of my car for years). They tell people something about your personality. In my case, I am a college student studying Engineering and Philosophy, and have been an artist for years (I owe my late father for this, he was a Medical Doctor and graduated with degrees in Philosophy and Marine Biology, his genes gave me the ability to be left-minded AND right-minded: Science and Literature, Math and Art, etc.). Naturally Leonardo da Vinci is a hero of mine.
Another friend of mine is the Executive Conductor of Fort Wayne, Indiana’s own Philharmonic Orchestra. He is an avid opera fan. He has the “Wilhelm Richard Wagner Action Figure” and it sits in a place of honor on his bookshelf, infront of his music books.
My SISTER, however, loves all things English. Jane Austen is one of her favorite authors. I gave her this figurine as a complement to a leather-bound “Seven Novels by Jane Austen” book reviewed by me elsewhere at Amazon.Com. SHE COULDN’T STOP LAUGHING when she opened it! It still graces her bookshelf or her desk, where she uses it to inspire her studies in World History and Women’s Studies. As I said, it tells people about your personality.
