Back by popular demand........
.........at the birthday girl's request!

reintroducing the new and improved von Huben Family Action Figures and Accessories:

Flower Fairy Bridget the Irish Princess.........she talks like a longshoreman and looks like a china doll

Emily the Bookworm.........complete with Hello Kitty Hyundai filled with books, Bride Magazines and her own gen-u-ine Tiffany engagement ring.

Ed.......Emily’s cute and smart fiance (Yes, now it's official!!!)

Eddie..........the little brother who never stops moving.......wind him up and his head turns 360 degrees

Martha..........the meek and mild...........she has a real working Hoover that she runs around the house when not busy reading Blake or Tennyson (comes with miniature facsimile of Songs of Innocence/Experience)

AND WAIT...........THERE’S MORE!!!!

DON’T FORGET - activate the special button, and they all pray in Latin!

Mom.......she says 20 different phrases, such as “money doesn’t grow on trees!”, “autodidact is not a dirty word” and “feeling Punic is not what’s ailing you, Mister.” Collect as many of her outfits as you want. They are all cotton and they all look alike. (shoes with bows included!)

Dad.........he looks like Ward Cleaver - hypnotized by a Macintosh

Fran..........she’s very attractive - if you can see her! (Save big by buying Fran and Bridget in the Irish Twins super-saver pak! Their clothes are interchangable - and a major source of interpersonal conflict)

Chaz..........he’s Tourettic, complete with socially acceptable tics. (it takes more than a neurological disorder to make us speak like the Osbournes.) Except for some social anxiety, he’s the life of the party. Comes complete with 30 bright quotes from Chesterton to Bart Simpson!

Adam..........the rakish next door neighbor. Always the perfect comic foil. If he didn’t live next door, we would have to invent him.

Tommy........Bridget’s boyfriend, under all the tattoos is a real sweetheart and the patience of a saint (being Bridget's special friend is not easy)

Will - the Ghost of Leslie Castle........Fran’s boyfriend, comes with kilt and electric guitar

AND DON’T MISS OUR ETHNIC DIVERSITY LINE.........
If you’ve started with Chinese Ed and Jerry, continue on with Swiss cousin Urs and Aussie cousin Phil; African-American Dave who lived on the couch and still drops in from time to time.

DON’T STOP.....GET THE ACCESSORIES........
Mom’s rusted van with genuine simulated peeling blue paint. Has 96,000 miles on it - just from driving to Church, the library and Target.

Fran’s zippy little red Ford POS. It gets her to work. At the animal hospital.

Dad’s groovy Blue Amigo (with fuzzy dice). Put enough of your action figures in and it becomes a clown car.

The Flower Fairy home decoration floral assortment. Random selection of day old, over-priced roses, orchids and other fine flora rescued from the dumpster.

Techno-geek garage pack of miscellaneous computer parts. (cords sold separately)

Martha’s 200 pound backpack. (aka a locker in a bag, with straps)

AND THE PETS........
The laundry room frog..........
Dipstick the adorable gerbil...........
Cody the dog...........

COMING SOON........
The vonHuben’s shabby/chic dream duplex.
Some assembly required.
*paint it yourself - the wilder the colors the better
*with add on dog yard for Cody
