Hearing Release -- Tea Party
The League of Philosophical Superheroes!
This is the mack-daddy idea: Philosophical Superhero action figures! They're not real, but they should be. Who could resist "Plunderous" Plato or "Bashin'" Bishop Berkeley? Surely not the kids (or at least the ones who grew up to be philosophy majors). And there are amusing accessories, like this one for Plato:
Comes with Plato's Guide to Shadow Puppets: step-by-step instructions on how to make fun and convincing animal shapes with nothing more than your hands and a bright light! This fully-illustrated booklet includes Bunny, Dog, Bird, and Many-Headed Beast.
Rockin! I do suppose you have to know a little more philosophy than the average bear to get a lot of the humor here. But if you're a geek like me -- I have my own Socrates plush toy, you know -- it doesn't get much better than this.

Filosofy ain't for the wickedly commercial
plush=toy producers @ last. It is for those
of us who know Plato from Playdough...
