Wonderful figure. I wonder if anyone will do a group buy on it for us?

Auch die Kultur, die alle Welt beleckt
Hat auf den Klicky sich erstreckt!

A fantastic figure! Very excellently done.

The trend of cultural figures continues to gain steam! It's only a matter of time before we get Don Quixote, Shakespeare, Attila the Hun? :D

This is what they need to be doing more of, not NHL teams!

I second Tiermann, put me down for a group buy. I can't wait! I'll take six.

PS Thanks Erik for bringing the glad tidings!

Attila the Hun is a cultural figure!

The detail of the jewel at the throat, as well as the coat, is taken from this portrait by Stieler, done near the end of Goethe's life:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Goethe_(Stieler_1828).jpg

The hat on the other hand is from the well-known painting by Tischbein, done when Goethe was in his thirty eighth year. The trousers seem to be from this also:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Johann_Heinrich_Wilhelm_Tischbein_-_Goethe_in_the_Roman_Campagna_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg

So a bit of a mix, but I think it's a good call as both these elements strongly evoke the personage, and combine well. And we can always take the hat off!
