If you don't want your kids to worship traditional action figures, maybe you should get them the Vincent Van Gogh Action Figure. Okay, maybe that's just the Art Historian in me. Alternatively, you could order the $12 action figure as a gift for your art loving friends.
"Was there a greater character in history than Vincent Van Gogh? A man who chopped off his ear in the name of love. With the Vincent Van Gogh Action Figure, you can see him in both ways; before the incident and bandage afterwards. Place the Vincent Van Gogh Action Figure in front of easel with interchangeable versions of his mini masterpieces. Celebrate one of the world's favorite artists, maybe even use him as an inspirational tool."
