Oscar Wilde Action Figure
Oscar Wilde was a writer and lecturer of great accomplishment, but he is most famous for his comedic plays, quick wit and eccentric dress. This 5-1/4" tall, hard vinyl action figure is dressed for a party where Wilde will quickly cut all those around him to pieces with barbed witticisms. Removable cane included!

Oscar Wilde being labelled "Hard Vinyl Action Figure".

Interesting.

"Survival of the fittest" is a lie. Only fools conceived this puppet.

            as he would have never referred to himself as an "action figure":

            Action is limited and relative. Unlimited and absolute is the vision of one who sits at ease and watches, who walks in loneliness and dreams.


            Concidentally, I am able to refer to above quote as I have this particular quote matted and framed as it sits beside me near my computer.

            Well done, though, Moho - it's nice to see a topic related to Oscar the day after the annvy. of his birthday!! :)
