Features The father of all psychoanalysts without the comical nodding action (see Sigmund Freud Nodder if you?re after agreement!) but the inspiration? Oh the inspiration..... Five inches high (fits in the pocket for those lonely nights down the pub on your own) with moving arms and head (it?s the brain that does the work, believe me. I think!) One arm outstretched, offering comfort and understanding, the other holding a cigar (you can read the box to find out what that?s all about) he?s the epitome of clever. The first man to ask ?what?s with that naked at work dream?? Obviously for all his genius, he had issues?. Now, if only he could tell me either next weekends lottery numbers, or maybe just why I want to know next weekends lottery numbers?

Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Educational and fun Comment: During the years when my son Horace was growing up, he was as captivated by He-man and Thundercats etc. as the next lad. Although we initially pandered to these typically unoriginal, media-led interests, one evening Doreen read an article about how greatly people are shaped by their play-habits during childhood. It was at this time that we realised that Horace needed more exemplary role-models to play with, so we decided to take a stand against his former heroes and get rid of his old collection! Anyhow, we soon discovered a unique line of more suitable action figures, crafted after a selection of the most reputed historical luminaries of various fields. Horace grew up playing with figures of (among others) Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Ludwig van Beethoven, Oscar Wilde (as donated by Uncle Bruce) and Stephen Hawking. Although other children tended to tease Horace (as did many adults), we had high hopes that he would be inspired to follow in the footsteps of these great men, so we stuck assiduously to the programme. His favourite figure was always that of Sigmund Freud and our greatest dream was that he might one day become an esteemed psychologist himself. However, soon enough our plan was destined to backfire and, although our son didn't go on to fulfill our expectations, the doll proved to be remarkably prophetic. After Horace attempted to murder me and sleep with his mother, he had to be escorted away for sessions with a psychoanalyst. Fortunately, he is back on track these days but, in hindsight, we grew to regret ever having disposed of his collection of mainstream toys. According to Dr. Wenkelstoft, taking Horace into the garden to bid a symbolic farewell to the influence of He-man and friends (as they writhed in the petrol-fuelled inferno that rapidly consumed Castle Grayskull) caused a profound emotional trauma- the psychological scars of which have partially remained present, even to this day!
