You know you want it: Action Jane (not to be confused with G.I. Jane. Action Jane could whip her butt and then give her a lecture on appropriate choices in the marriage market as she lay bleeding). "This 5-1/4" tall, hard vinyl action figure comes with a book (Pride & Prejudice) and a writing desk with removable quill pen!" Link from Catalogue Annie.
Then there is this site, Gothic Martha Stewart. Full of good, black things (link from BoingBoing).

Oh my gosh! I so need that. I was in the Freak Lunchbox in Halifax and they had Edgar Allan Poe and Shakespeare action figures! (I'm putting them on my Christmas list...yes...yes...I AM a geek)

Scribbled by Mr. Kong at August 17, 2005 3:22 PM | PermalinkPlease, please, please ... I want one! Dunno about the book and quill, though. Are they to remind us that our famous author action figure is in fact a famous author?
Scribbled by Another Damned Medievalist at August 17, 2005 9:21 PM | PermalinkWell, something needs to remind us, as her winsome face and, uh, perky figure, not to mention her supermodel-long legs, are not much like the available portraits of Austen.
But yes, I would still love one. And really, they'd be dead cheap at twice the price.
