This wacky action figure was the number one of six Top Unusual Gifts for Coffee Lovers, followed by Java Logs, Java Jewels, Just Coffee Art, A Real, Live Coffee Tree, and A Sample of Kopi Luwak Coffee, according to About.com. Being the occasional social coffee drinker that I am, I thought I would check it out, all the while wondering who in the world loves coffee so much to purchase a Barista Action Figure.
Sure enough the wacky item is discontinued. Which made me a little sad. Why isn’t the Barista a popular action figure? So I browsed for other Wacky Action Figures, and guess who I found? Barack Obama (no surprises there), Van Gogh (I’m all for it but still a little strange), Crazy Cat Lady (hmmmm), Office Monkeys (is this a lame stab at satire???), Toxic Teddies (for very cynical children), and Nunzilla (which reminds me of the “Super Pope” comics – the epic story about the battle between John Paul II and Satan). But the one that just set me off into a number of hysterical laughter attacks (with tears and everything) is Mr. Bacon vs. Monsieur Tofu Bendie. So Bacon and Tofu finally have a chance to “settle the argument once and for all” – and all in the privacy of your office. And guess what?! Each figure has bendable arms and legs! Score! I think this one wins over Barista, and even over Bouncing Boobs Doll, but maybe that’s because I’m not a guy.
Having witnessed many battles between Tofu-Eating Vegans and Bacon-Eating Omnivors, I have to agree that Mr. Bacon vs. Monsieur Tofu Bendie have got to be the action figures of choice, especially in the office while everyone is having lunch.
