Ben Franklin was not just one of the most important political figures in American history. He was a man of science and a prolific inventor. In his day, he was considered the world's greatest authority on electricity. The quality of this figure has to be seen to be believed. Bearing an uncanny likeness of Ben Franklin, they are made with the true collector in mind. They are realistic down to the finest detail. The bodies are fully articulated and the clothing, made from top quality fabrics, looks like it was hand tailored. Display him proudly in your classroom or give as a gift to that favorite science or history buff.
Comes in a collectors' box with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Also includes a display stand and a detailed biographical pamphlet and timeline. Stand about 33 cm tall (~13 inches).
Plus, he speaks more than 40 of his most famous phrases in a voice loud enough to be heard throughout the classroom. Phrases, such as:
Fish and visitors smell in three days.
Little strokes fell great oaks.
Three may keep a secret-if two of them are dead.
He that blows coals in quarrels, that he has nothing to do with, has no right to complain if the sparks fly in his face.

Well done is better than well said.
