I really like the concept of "What if everyone read the same book." - If it was a GOOD book, what an impact that could have on a society! As to the action figure, I make them myself! So, of course, I think "real people" action figures are terrific! (I only do custom heads, and put them on decapitated action figures from the Goodwill store.) Fisher-Price should have thought of this! There isn't one librarian in their inventory!

The problem is, of course, that librarians actually look like everyone else. There is no uniform for them, no physical requirements that unites them. You could meet Anna, our red headed and tatoo'd information librarian and not guess she was in the same profession as our tall and hulking Supervising Librarian Charles, or that either of the two of them were in the same career path as our deputy director who dresses in bright orange and purple and drives a red sports car. Still, I think it is a funny idea.

Actually, one of the first heads I made was of a librarian (-: Perhaps this is the start of a trend! We could have a "Fisher-Price Library" to go with our "Fisher-Price House." Then, we can utilize the services of miniature artists and promote a new genre of miniature authors, haha... filling the little library with little, illustrated books. (-:

Well, we could also have a little bookstore so the authors could have a place to sell their wares, and a little publishing house. Maybe tiny agents for the authors??? And, of course, readers. They need readers. :)

Hahaha - I'm really getting into this idea (-: I also build structures (doll house scale) - Tee hee, love the tiny agents idea! (Small, but highly motivated!) - and, indeed, the world needs more readers! As to the stereotypes, it certainly doesn't apply. I have known 3 librarians personally. The head was of a male, bald on top, 8 inches of lovely reddish brown hair down the back, wearing many ornaments of pagan design. (He was also my best friend, which is what prompted the modeling.) Another was a female, who was in special ed classes through high school - In adulthood, they discovered her dyslexia (she became a head librarian!). The other stole a man from me - no comment, but she won't get a custom head modeled after her, unless I attach it to a voodoo doll, haha.

I suppose if our little authors sell their rights to the movies, we'll also need little producers and directors and actors. And a little theater for the playwright among us. And a little coffee house for the poets. Our new downtown libray is going to have an art gallery, so don't forget that.

Make sure there is a tiny internet cafe, so they can all come online and join Renderoslty, or start their own websites. :-)

Somebody please write this story! - I'll build the town in 3d and illustrate, lol! Imagine - a place where we all can be published, famous, and hang out together - our librarians will always direct clients to OUR works ! (-:
