Comments aboutGREAT AUTHORS POT BELLY FIGURES:
This is a present for an English teacher. It is definitely to her taste and a good addition to her desk. It is a bit small, but very well-made. It is humorous but simultaneously attractive to the mind. I would recommend it as a present for anybody who enjoys reading.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these little marble dolls. I will buy more of them if I like the people being represented. The paint on them is so delicate and they will look lovely on my bookshelf.

Comments aboutGREAT AUTHORS POT BELLY FIGURES:
My roomate loves Shakespeare so when I saw the pot belly figurine I thought it would be a perfect birthday present. I must admit I am a bit disappointed!
The figure is cute and has actually looks like Shakespeare! However, it is cheaply made. The head doesn't fit securely on the body and looks akward. The "secret" compartment is so tiny that it would barely hold a small button. Overall the figurine is much smaller than anticipated.
The idea is great but the product itself falls a little flat.

I bought a small silver Shakespeare pencil topper and this potbelly for a Shakespeare enthusiast and I was going to place it inside as a trinket... but there was really VERY LITTLE room inside for much of anything. Maybe a good place to leave teeth for the tooth fairy.

Comments aboutGREAT AUTHORS POT BELLY FIGURES:
I gave these to my English professor and he loved them. They seem well-made and look just like the picture. Don't expect to actually put anything inside the little compartment though. It's too small for that. But they were great anyhow.
