Someone Made A Van Gogh Action Figure With a Detachable Ear

If you’re a fan of the legendary Vincent van Gogh, this awesome new action figure is perfect for you!

Created by art website Today Is Art Day, the Van Gogh action figure features the legendary artist wearing a blue coat with a sunflower pinned to it. It also comes with a paint brush and replicas of his famous paintings, including The Sunflowers and The Starry Night. The best part? The action figure has removable ears – even though it is said Van Gogh only cut off part of his left ear. You can get one of these Van Gogh action figures by supporting the idea on Kickstarter – funds that come with the figure start from $21.

Dunno, on the fence with this one. He was suffering so badly with depression and mental illness when he did this and then took his life not too long after sooo

seen a dozen jokes about this event, and never thought it was funny.. and that;s going before the politically correct age.

I'm surprised that you're even on the fence, then. I think this is very bad taste.

Sorry, but this feels really disrespectful to Van Gogh. There was nothing funny about his illness.

Agreed. I would recommend to read an interview with Van Gogh to better acquaint oneself with a genius. http://bit.ly/2swdkSt
