The Vitruvian Man Action Figure

Sure, your kids want Captain America and Iron Man action figures for their birthdays. But you don’t want to rot their minds with all of that Marvel Universe nonsense; wouldn’t it be more fun and educational for them to play in the exciting Renaissance universe?

A responsible parent would buy them a Vitruvian Man action figure:

Japanese toymaker Max Factory’s Vitruvian Man toy is faithful to Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic drawing, teaching your child that the distance from the elbow to the armpit is 1/8th of a man’s height and other important anatomical details.

Yes, they might be a little freaked out by the extra limbs, but you can sell this by explaining that Vitruvian Man is the original Doctor Octopus.

For even more fun, limbs can be added and subtracted at will.

Plus, who needs the Avengers when you’ve got Venus de Milo, David, the Thinker and the Incredible Thinker?

Max Factory is taking orders until June 22nd and expects to ship Vitruvian Man in time for the holidays. Bet you can’t wait to see that look of wonder and joy when your child unwraps this!
