Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, is best known for two things: 1.Saying "Let them eat cake!" and 2. Having her head chopped off on the guillotine. We find this ironic, since it's very difficult to eat cake once one's head has been chopped off. Nevertheless, she is one of the most colorful characters of European history. And Stupid.com is proud to present this really strange toy. The Marie Antoinette Action figure manages to be both educational and sickly-twisted at the same time. The Queen is dressed in royal clothing, complete with a removable wig and dress. She stands 5-1/2" tall -- at least for a little while. When you press a secret button, Marie Antoinette's head becomes instantly removable. After that, she is considerably shorter. Is this the most tasteful toy we sell? Hardly. But it's one of those really, really strange things we could not pass up. Every time we activate Marie's "Head Lock," we crack up. Okay, maybe there's something wrong with us. And if you're considering buying one, there might be something wrong with you, too.
