Product Description
Own a female action figure that changed history! Jane Austen was one of the greatest English novelists in history. Despite a rather sheltered life, she was able to capture the subtleties of human interaction so perfectly that her novels continue to be immensely popular to this day. This 5-1/4" (13.3 cm) tall, hard vinyl action figure comes with a book (Pride & Prejudice) and a writing desk with removable quill pen!

I purchased this item because I am a teacher and I wanted to put a collection of literary figures on my desk. Shortly after taking the figure out of the box (literally, within minutes) a colleague was looking at it and went to raise the figure's left arm. She did not apply unnecessary pressure but the figure snapped in half. When I looked at the broken midsection, I noticed that the top and bottom were held together by less than 1/8" diameter semi-circle of plastic (an amount slightly larger than the largest part of a toothpick). I feel that the design could be improved greatly. As Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors, I am dissappointed that so little attention was paid to the design- especially since she is known for her great attention to detail. Sad, sad design.

This was a gift for a friend who is a big Jane Austen fan. It was a big fun hit!! I found the doll to be beautifully made with charming detail. I think I'll get another!!! Actually, don't tell anyone, but right now she's sitting by a figure of Mozart and I'm not sure they're not up to something when we go home at night.

I bought this for my girlfriend, who really loves Jane Austen's work. She liked it very much. It's a funny gift to give, and perfect to have somewhere in your house, between your Jane books.
But for me, not a great fan as her, I think the details and the painting of the action figure could be better. She didn't take out from the box, and it's fine that way. Wonder what would happen if you actually play with it like a toy.

Lots of Fun!
We gave this action figure as a gift to a true Austenite, and she loved it! The perfect gift for any fan of Jane Austen. Austen herself would get a chuckle out of it!

I have not opened the original packaging. I did not buy it as a toy, but as a collectible. I understand it is no longer being made, so am glad to get it.

Not chosen as a toy but as a literary figure
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.
