Jane Austen Action Figure to go on sale in June
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.

Jane Austen action figures!
That is, action figures of the fair Miss Austen herself! I’m all aflutter. (From the new-to-me Austen Blog. Because “She’s Everywhere.”)…

Jessica Alba to play Elizabeth Bennet
Planning to read my book this evening instead of blogs — a novel idea — but had to pass on…

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.
