These are great fun but… even more evidence that Americans think Sherlock Holmes is a historical figure
Good Point Ray Martin. Embarrassed I never spotted that myself. lol.
I think my wife would love the Jesus one.
Loaves and Fishes…fantastic!
Or Moses for that matter…
Alexander the Great, Um he seems to lack a certain grandeur.
Oh Hum.
Reminds me of the Airfix kit of Queen Victoria I used to own. They did a series of 1:12 scale kits of queens of england in what I think was a very short lived attempt to branch out from fighter planes.
I remember seeing the Jesus and Moses ones at the dollar store.
Regardless of whether these folks are “real” or not, they’re still important parts of history, so I find the title appropriate.
So… historical Jesus doesn’t raise any eyebrows?
I have the Beethoven one; we have a minituare piano that he sits at.
hi where I can buy them?
thanks
Hi Alessandra – they are all on Amazon

Check out the Sppinoza action figure:

Just a spelling correction: On the Houdini packaging, Straitjacket, not Straight Jacket. Sheesh. The really sad thing is how so many people must have seen this; from the design phase, manufacturing process, and distribution, and noone noticed.
Wow, historical Jesus is very, very white…
I have the Van Gogh action figure. Most of the above figures are made by Accoutrements for Archie Mcphee.
