Not dolls; action figures, action figures! Actually, these are 12" action figures of the Monty Python's Holy Grail knights. I like how Sir Robin comes with the Killer Rabbit of Caer Bannog. "He'll do you up a treat!"
For some inexplicable reason, my wife refuses to let me pony up the $150 for the set. Women.

Ha! Those are great. If I had an extra $150 to toss around, I'd buy them.

God bless Pepper for saving you from yourself.
Most women have a very low tolerance for items of fantasy, wonder, and whimsy.

This seals it: not only does wumpus have no credibility, not only has he no soul, he's a misogynist prick too.
Let's do a little editing wumpus:
"Most women IN MY LIFE have a very low tolerance for items of fantasy, wonder, and whimsy, BECAUSE I'M A DROLL HOUSE-BOUND GAME ADDICT WITH A TINY PENIS WHO WOULDN'T KNOW HOW TO BRIGHTEN A WOMAN'S DAY IF TWO TICKETS TO XANADU FELL IN MY LAP."

We have to believe we are magic, and nothing can stand in our way.

Most women don't like to play Counter-Strike, either.
Sorry, that's just my mysogyny speaking. Clearly women cannot get enough of guns and shooting people.

Hatred of women: “Every organized patriarchal religion works overtime to contribute its own brand of misogyny”

Heh, Sir Bevedere comes with a duck ("...very small rocks?"). I'd pony up for these if I had anywhere to put them. Five 12" figurines don't really lend themselves to, well, anywhere. Maybe some kind of Grail Shrine if I had a few extra rooms.
Wumpus, I know women who are more avid Python freaks than I am, and that's saying quite a bit. I think maybe you need to get out more.
Also, that's a very blanket opinion you've got there. A wet blanket!
Robin, I think you meant this:
mi·sog·y·ny n.
Hatred of women: “Every organized patriarchal religion works overtime to contribute its own brand of misogyny” And now do you believe me Sonny?
HTH
