Van Gough action figure. Fun for the whole family. : Shiny Shiny

I'm not really sure how long the thrill of re-creating the famous "cutting off the ear" scene or painting 'Sunflowers' will take to wear off with this toy, but hey, it's nice to know there are action figures out there for the sensitive, artistic types among us, isn't it? The best thing about Van Gough here is that he comes with two different heads - one with ear, one without - so you can switch them at will. He also has an easel and some tiny masterpieces, as you would expect, and if you're not loving his work, the Leonardo Da Vinci figure may be more up your street. Writers, meanwhile, may like to consider my own favourite action "hero" - Edgar Allen Poe, complete with Raven.
