Philosophical action figures

[Gnaeus Dionysius Draco]

Salvete,

This is priceless: http://www.geocities.com/krinklyman2/powers.html

Valete,
Draco

[Aldus Marius]

Avete!

I've recently come upon something similar: plush dolls of various Great Minds (not all of them philosophers). So far I've seen Darwin, Einstein, Freud, Che Guevara, and Frida Kahlo; they're at a really neat store called Whole Earth Provision Co. (sturdy clothing, outdoor gear, travel books, and gifts from around the globe).

There might be one or two more I'm not remembering at the moment; I'm sure I saw a Chinese one, and if it's Lao Tze I'll need amicus Mencius' shipping addy! <fg>

In amicitia,

[Aulus Dionysius Mencius]

Should it be him, the old master would be sheltered at my crib without hesitation, amice mi...

Iubeo aliquem valere

Mencius

[Aldus Marius]

Avete iterum!

The link for those smart-people plush dolls is:

They've got 14 of 'em so far, including Gandhi and Socrates (neither of whom has turned up at my store), but...no Lao Tze, yet. (Dolet me, mi Menci.)

P'r'aps we could start a letter-writing campaign...? >({|;-)

In fide,
