Jane Austen Collectible Toys

These are a little weird:

Jane Austen Plush Doll

The same vender offers a Jane Austen Finger Puppet as well, but that COMPLETELY freaks me out, especially the product description, which states:

As magnificent of a finger puppet as there ever was one. Jane Austen wrote lots of books, and now she can be in lots of your own finger puppet shows. When your tired, stick her on refrigerator, she’s also a magnet.

As Bitch, Ph.D. noted, the NYT recently ran an article helpfully explaining that “she might have become arguably the greatest English-language novelist in history only because she was too homely to land a husband.” Thank goodness law professors don’t have to be hot either!
