Behold:
The Oscar Wilde Action Figure
It could only be improved if it recited an endless supply of witty and pithy Oscar quotes.
(Having said that, is it me, or have they trimmed Mr Wilde’s substantial physique down somewhat? Perhaps to suit modern aesthetics, perhaps to fit a standard action figure mould?)
It features in the Top 10 Geeky Holiday Gifts For Your Oddball Child, and comes to us via Orodemniades at Birch and Maple

Geeks unite! I have the Shakespeare action figure, complete with feather quill and book :)
I am so in love with that!!!!! I need all the other historical action figures, I know where my Christmas money is going!!!!
I want one!
I think I might covet that even more than the wristwatch that displays the time in binary…..
My very first thought on seeing that action figure is that he’s too thin.
After all, Stephen Fry played him in the film and Fry’s resemblance to actual photos of Wilde was striking.
