Social Theory Action Figures
I kid you not.
Figure #2: Michel Foucalt
Keenly aware of the fluidity of social identities, this 6.5″ Michel Foucault waves his baton in poststructuralist style at all challenges. Shrouded in a special removeable French cloak and with a built-in thoughtful head movement, this superb action figure is essential for both professional philosophers and junior postmodernists.

Don’t miss Anthony Giddens’s special academic arm movement. The trading cards are equally enlightening/amusing. Apparently there was quite a brouhaha surrounding them.
