I went into Forbidden Planet today (for the first time) with my guy  so he could pick up a volume he was interested in.

Although the only comic book/graphic novel I read before last week’s Pride of Baghdad (an IGN pick my guy owns) was Archie — you know how crazy those supermarket double digests can get — I thought looking around would be a good idea since we are celebrating Luke’s fifth birthday this Friday.

Aisles of comics next to aisles of action figures. Star Wars and Dr. Who action figures … Mr. Potato Head with Iron Man masks and Snoopy toy sets. But I didn’t hit the jackpot until I went to the far side of the store.

Check out these snazzy birthday gift options for my boy.

A deluxe Jesus action figure — Luke could spend hours in his room reenacting the miracle of turning water into wine. Oh wait, that might be a little too early for him to practice.

Maybe a Moses action figure would be better. After all, he was given the Ten Commandments and parted the Red Sea.

What? Five year olds don’t care for religious action figures?

Then I suppose an Evolving Darwin play set might do the trick for Luke. Because I can totally see him enjoying the story of evolution in action figure form.

Alright so I didn’t find a gift for Luke but I did find a little something for me — a crazy cat lady action figure… complete with six feline companions.
