Hmm... Geniuses as Collectibles *And* Plush Philosophers...?

Mascots Are Us!

And if you think those are cute - wait 'til you see these!
Philosophers and Thinkers have been turned into plush toys for profitable commerce and cuteness factor alike!

The only drawback here is that great thinkers are now lumped together in a collection called "little thinkers"...! :(

These "little thinkers" make for odd comrades-in-arms as Mahatma Gandhi is rubbing shoulders with Che Guevara; and why did they have to put Frida right next to Jesus? These odd rumors about Magdalene weren't enough or something...?!?

A Charles Darwin plush toy is a GREAT IDEA though:
talk about de-evolution! ;)
Introduce Darwin to your pet dogs and scaredy cats
and watch the fur fly
as the discussion gets heated - as usual! *lol*

And I thought the mini-collectibles that had the monopoly on this sort of thing were

Lord Crumwell is a funny guy too, in his own right:
one has to like the way he thinks - see what I mean
by checking out his MySpace webpage
where the Oddfellows collection is featured
in its entirety (I was so sure there were more...!?
But it turns out he seems to have limited himself
to these Fab Five here... I guess... As a first wave?)

Hmm... I'm wondering why, also,
I have not befriended ol' Lord Crumwell yet
on MySpace...?

Anyway... to my the best of my awareness of these things,
Albert Einstein is the one historical figure
that has the widest array of merchandizing this side of...
ah, Our Lord Jesus Christ?
Just ask Shakespeare about it...!
(Aye - dare to invade that fake's den! *lol*)

And if these didn't make for sufficient
toying around for ya -
there is always the World Stars...
And their obvious readily-accessible
"pre-ordained audience" I'd say
in schools across America...!

All of these collectibles would make great mascots
for different history classes, sure...

Hmm... But can we learn anything about history
when one has the collector mentality?
When one is toying around, merely...?
When one is dancing with mere mascots... eh?

Hmm... Where are the cheerleaders when you need them?
