If you're a collector of
Action Figures or a fan of
Librarians, you've probably seen the
Original Librarian Action Figure based on real-life Seattle Librarian
Nancy Pearl. On that Figure, you press the button on the button on her back and her arm will move with amazing "shushing action!" It comes with a tiny plastic book and a stack of random literature. The enclosed card features a brief history of libraries on the back as well as a realistic check-out card in a classic library sleeve along with two bookmarks and a
Nancy Pearl trading card!
Now there's the
Deluxe Librarian Action Figure! This Deluxe Edition is a 5'' tall, hard vinyl figure dressed in a 'stylish' burgundy outfit and comes in a library diorama with a
reference desk, computer, book cart, multiple book stacks and some loose books, including a tiny plastic replica of Nancy Pearl's book,
Book Lust 2.

I have absolutely no use for one of these little figures, but I have to say that I think they're a real hoot. I do have the Sherlock Holmes action figure (though there's no "action" involved), and have a secret longing for the solar-powered waving Queen Elizabeth. What can I say?
ReplyDeleteAs small as these figures are, I'm not sure I have space..valuable book space, even 5 inches :-)
ReplyDeleteIf they come up with a bearded male librarian action figure I'd probably get one : )
ReplyDeleteThey use the phrase... best selling Librarian action figure of all time.... who's #2?! Is there a number 2?? Has there ever been another?
