Summary: 5 Stars
Amongst all the action figures herein offered on amazon, this JANE AUSTEN ACTION FIGURE, (with writing desk and quill pen), is the ONLY female action figure that I have yet to come across. I hope there are more, that I just haven't seen yet -- but as of now, this seems to me to be the only one.
However, the choice of Jane Austin -- if, indeed, she is the only female action figure now available -- is a very good choice indeed!
Ms. Austen wrote romantic novels, it is true -- but the fact that she was able to write ANY novel, (being a female), was questioned deeply during her lifetime, (see the movie, "Being Jane", for futher illucidation!)
Furthermore, some of her novels, (such as "Emma", and "Northanger Abbey"), poked wild fun at the other "romance" writers of her day.
Romance for romance's sake was NOT what Ms. Austen was all about!
Character development, (and character-building, amongst her readers), was what she liked!
The elegant prose of Ms. Austen is much to be admired. The writing desk and quill-pen included are a joy to the collector, and an impetus to writers -- male and female, old and young alike -- as well!
One hopes that a new edition of this action figure will soon be available -- one that does NOT have arms coming off! I wish, too, that -- if they have not yet been made -- that other female action figures be able to join the new version of Ms. Austen. Such as, (just to name a few), Marie Curie, Abigail Adams, Milicent Fenwick, Dauphne du Maurier, Clara Barton, Jacqueline Kennedy, (who, very quietly, gave much money to N.O.W.!), Anne Frank, and -- perhaps the most direct literary "descendant" of Ms. Austen that ever was -- the late, great Georgette Heyer, the only writer who in my opinion, can claim co-eminence with Jane Austen, in the writing of Regency Romance!
