Well, I was out on an early morning quest today, a serious quest, to ride the bus to Walmart and get a new glucometer, a bathroom scale, and some new tips for my canes. But while I was there I had lots of time until the next bus, and so of course I looked at all the action figures and the collectibles in the Entertainment section. And that's where I found this.
Now I had been looking at my Amazon wish list yesterday, seeing what I might get for my monthly entertainment expenditure, and feeling no compulsion to buy anything, book or DVD (certainly not at those prices). But now I thought here was something I must get, or forever regret the lost opportunity.
Now I have never watched a single episode of Murder, She Wrote. But to have a figure of Angela Lansbury, of Miss Price herself ... well, I couldn't pass that by, even if she had a kind of goofy expression. The company is Toony TV (NECA), so the sculpt is a little caricaturish. But having another action figure of an old lady ... it seems so deliciously inimicable (certainly rare) to the whole action figure oeuvre, which mainly concentrates on super heroes.
So for $15.95 Angela goes into the Hoard (Hoard for Toys, Archive for Books). Whether or not I will ever open the package is a topic for some debate. I grow old, I grow old ... but not any more sensible.
