Poe Ghostal: Where is My Lovecraft Action Figure?

Poe Ghostal of toy collecting blog fame recently posted his exchange with Accoutrements, a novelty company responsible for action figures of Edgar Allan Poe, Albert Einstein, and many others. Ghostal recommends the toy maker consider adding H.P. Lovecraft's likeness to their line of plastic creations. Despite the somewhat odd response from Accoutrements, Ghostal raises a fun and potentially lucrative suggestion.

Allow me to second this call for a H.P. Lovecraft figure, doll, statue, or other likeness. Not because I'm a toy collector, but because it would be another strong signal of HPL's growing place in pop-culture. Accoutrement's line of figures run a gamut that includes Sigmund Freud, Jesus, and several popular writers, among others. Lovecraft would join the ranks of Poe, Shakespeare, and Oscar Wilde by having his visage resurrected in poseable form.

In the end, it doesn't really matter if Accoutrements is up to the task, though they would be a natural choice. If not, another entrepreneur will be gearing up to make a miniature Lovecraft sooner or later.
