Unemployed Philosophers Guild
The Unemployed Philosphers Guild has interesting gifts for deep thinkers of all ages.
You could spend lots of time browsing and chuckling over their unique wares.
This is good stuff.
Just a few of my favorites:
Jojo is now the proud owner of a Sherlock Holmes Little Thinker doll.
Sherlock has a real magnifying glass for finding clues, and a nice little plush pipe.
Jojo likes Sherlock Holmes because he solves mysteries and looks for evidence, like his other heroes Tin Tin and Indiana Jones.
I was thrilled about the Little Thinker series of dolls because Jojo has some very unique interests for a boy of 5.
Ever since we visited the mausoleum in Hanoi, he has been talking about Ho Chi Minh like crazy. I would love to expand his political enthusiasms into more Western leanings. But, kids will be kids!

I like the Sherlock Holmes doll. I consider myself a mystery buff and he was the greatest crime solver of them all

I like the Edgar Allan Poe doll. Where would our science fiction be today without him?
This is a really original site. I had no idea anyone was selling dolls like this. They look well made and have great detail.

I would like the Jesus little thinker because it would be a good tool to teach the little kids about Jesus and as a reminder for the older kids to look to Him when they need anything

I love Galileo. My son did a book report on him and I know he would enjoy him. I also like the puppet magnets.
09 March 2010, 10:47 am
i <3 Chaplin. How awesome. We could watch Gold Rush and have a doll to represent the silent era. Those are so my style.. wanted to also say Frida Kahlos eyebrows were spot on.

I would get the Claude Monet doll and give it to my sister. She teaches art at an elementary school and this would be so cool for her room.
09 March 2010, 2:19 pm
It’s hard to decide which doll is my fav. I think the Jane Austen would be perfect for my little girl since her mama is a retired English teacher, but Queen Elizabeth would be so much fun to play with. . . and Monet just looks like fun

I like the Jesus one as we are a religious family.

They’re all amazing, but I love the Frida Kahlo doll. I’ve always had a special place for her in my heart.
09 March 2010, 5:17 pm
These are all wonderful! I really like Eleanor Roosevelt…I don’t know why, I also like Nitsche…ok, spelled it wrong.
Thank you.

Wow there are so many of them!
When I was growing up my neighbors were buddhists. They taught me all about it and told me the buddhist chant. I still remember it to this day. I would enjoy having the Little Thinker Buddha

I would absolutely love to have the Scream plush. It’s one of my favorite paintings, and I love that it screams when you squeeze it.

Edgar Allan Poe because I love his work and he comes with a raven, so cute

My fave is the Edgar Allan Poe doll because he is by far my most favorite poet and I love that he has a raven on his shoulder because this is one of his best poems, although my fave poem is Annabel Lee.

I was kind of torn between Einstein and Galileo, but I think I would pick Galileo. My 6-year-old grandson is already very intersted in science and particularly in astronomy, so it would be a good fit.
11 March 2010, 8:37 am
Wow I love these. I have seen them in a few stores and they always crack me up. As a former philosophy major I would have to go with Nietzsche. Although MArx is pretty awesome too. Thanks!!
11 March 2010, 12:05 pm
These dolls are so cool! We have the Soren Kierkegaard finger puppet (for obvious reasons) but I hope to add more to our collection one day, specifically Frieda Kahlo.
11 March 2010, 6:58 pm
I love the Edgar Allen Poe Doll!! Thanks for the chance.

I bookmarked UP. This stuff is great! I would have to go for the one of the Hindu deity dolls, perhaps Shiva, since I teach religions of the world. I hope they come out with a Kali one. (She could hang out with Dali.) LOL
18 March 2010, 10:21 am
I would love Eleanor Roosevelt for my daughter, a great role model.

18 March 2010, 8:00 pm
I would like the Obama Doll…I started a collection of Obama items in 2008 because this was such an historical time for America.
18 March 2010, 10:51 pm
I would love Claude Monet for my sister, a big art lover.
18 March 2010, 10:57 pm
Abraham Lincoln because my daughter just adores him..
18 March 2010, 10:59 pm
I like Frida Kahlo because she was a wonderful painter!
19 March 2010, 12:15 am
I’m so glad I found your blog - I love these dolls
Not a bad price either (under $20). Even though the Nietzsche doll was cracking me up, I’d love to get the Sigmund Freud doll for my psychologist husband 
I might have to get both.
19 March 2010, 12:18 am
Just twittered about the giveaway (Rickcon) - thanks again for introducing me to these dolls.
