Moses Action Figure

Alright, so nobody knows what the real Moses looked like, but this 5'1/4" Moses ActionFigure is an interesting novelty. Made out of durable plastic, the Biblical dynamo holds the Ten Commandments tablets in one hand and a staff in the other, both of which can be removed.

The arms and legs can move as well.

Cost: .$8.95

Alexander the Great Action Figure

Again, nobody living has any idea about Alexander's appearance, but the fact that he was one of the greatest, most brilliant individuals in history makes the Alexander the Great Action Figure worthy of being included in any collection.

The 5'1/4" vinyl facsimile of this mighty conqueror comes dressed as a warrior and wielding sword and shield.

Cost: $9.95

Marie Antoinette Action Figure

The recent Kirsten Dunst film based upon French queen Marie Antoinette has sparked a resurgence of interest in the ill-fated royal.

The Marie Antoinette Action Figureis 5.5" tall and there are some intriguing, but kind of macabre features included with it, such as her more elegant dress being able to be removed

to reveal less glamorous clothes, as worn by those preparing to be executed.

Here's where it gets icky. There is a button on the back that will eject her head, just as the real guillotine did. This feature made me somewhat squeamish, but to collectors, I know that it adds a bonus to the value of this item.

Cost: $9.95

President George Washington Talking Action Figure

The 12 " tall President George Washington Talking Action Figure is going to cost more, but for the quality you are getting, the price is very low. This product is highly detailed and expertly made and is a limited edition figure, meaning collectors who want to get this piece should do so before they run out.
