There is a lot to be said for a good action figure….

Most of us are used to seeing the usual suspects… WWF Wrestling Figures, Army Men, Super Heroes, Cowboys, Indians….

Imagine my surprise the day I found Ludwig Van Beethoven and Wilhelm Richard Wagner. So cool that someone mass produced historical composers….musical geniuses if you will… as action figures.

In theory it is indeed very cool. However, in practice, it really isn’t that snappy, I have to tell you. They don’t do much really. The one guy is deaf and the other was idolized by Hitler for this anti-Semitic musings.

And they don’t do much either. They sit and write… and will occasionally get up swing their little batons to and fro.

I don’t think they will replace Tickle-Me Elmos or G.I.Joes…..  I mean… if I got bored with this play time, Little Timmy will surely bail out…

So much for “Hasbro” meets the “Arts”….  but it was a noble thought….
