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.

I bought this doll for a friend of mine who is a huge Jane Austen fan, and it's adorable. I love that it's an action-figure - and that writing can be considered an action (as someone currently writing a dissertation, it's nice to think that those endless hours might be considered "action").

This toy is pretty much all you could possibly ask for in a plastic action figure of an author. Though I would love to see her battle Shakespeare or Joyce...

Pretty much what is advertised. However, be careful when you take it out of the package. Mine wouldn't separate from the blister package without a hard nudge, which resulted in my JA action figure breaking in half. Her 'hips' broke. Had to super glue. Just be careful when taking it out.

I bought this as a joke to send to a Lit major away at college. When I received it, I was surprised at how lovely and detailed it was. I would have bought all the authors when my kids were little if I had known about them. They are nicely made.

I bought this for my Mother who is a huge Jane Austen fan. She absolutely loves this and enjoyed the Jane Austen quotes on the packaging. It also gave her a good laugh which alone was worth the purchase price.

My girlfriend and I found this at a Boutique surrounded by Jane Austen items. We laughed alot and I have enjoyed it in my bookcase, having friends discover it among my books. It is more a conversation piece than a toy.

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.

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.
