Includes fully illustrated “Barbie’s Travel Book.” Requires 3 “AA” batteries, included. Measures 12″ tall.
Customer Review: Bust for Barbie
My husband travels a lot so we wanted to get our 4 year old a good globe to help her learn about the different places in the world. She begged for this one, but when we tried to play with it, it didn’t work well at all. You are supposed to touch the place on the globe that has certain things or you want to learn about, and we would touch Australia and it was say Asia or something else. It doesn’t show anything but continents, so states or any other smaller separation. My daughter was very disappointed.
Customer Review: For my daughters Christmas
I bought this toy for my daughter for Christmas. When it came in I had fun playing with it. She hasn’t opened it yet, but i’m sure she will love it. It could be a little more educational, but it is fun. It came in great condition, and it arrived within the time frame from delivery. However, it came on the last day of the estimated time, and I was starting to worry it wouldn’t make it by Christmas. But it did!!

Leonardo Da Vinci Action Figure

Posted on September 9, 2009 by Myler

21x%2BJLQKfzL Leonardo Da Vinci Action Figure Leonardo Da Vinci Action Figure Historic Action Figure How do you tell a real superhero? It ain’t because he has kung-fu moves, or looks good in tights. The historical giants in our superhero collection, reduced to 5″ to 6″ tall plastic figures, wear their contemporary dress. Thus confined, they’re limited to moving limbs and heads, with some being more motile than others. These superheroes are actual historical figures, though, rather than Hollywood heroes. Leonardo also comes with a 4-1/4″ easel, plus a little frame with (4) interchangeable masterpieces to display. All the figures include fascinating facts and short biographies on the back of the package.,Dwarf DaVinci doll. This little Leonardo is wearing his Renaissance dress–plus what look like sweat socks underneath. He’s 5-1/4″ tall in plastic, with movable limbs, and comes with a 4-1/4″ easel and a little frame with (4) interchangeable masterpieces to display–plus fascinating facts with a short biography on the back of the package.
Customer Review: Looks like my former art teacher!
This lil’ action figure is the spitting image of my old high school art teacher, Mrs. Leona Goober-Hackenschmidt. Even the sweat socks with sandals are accurate. And they captured her hormonal imbalances quite fetchingly. Her beard never shone quite so whitely.
