rickegeeA more positive response to the vagaries of existence than the noxious God Hates Fags approach.

william's doll was performed by the great Alan Alda.
swampgirlAbout a min into it I thought it was him. I love guessing voice talent. This was sweet, thanks rickegee.
dotdudeThis video provoked me to look up "action figure" in Wikipedia:
"History
The term "action figure" was first used by Hasbro in 1964, to market their G.I. Joe figure to boys who wouldn't play with "dolls". G.I. Joe was initially a military-themed 11.5-inch action figure proposed by marketing and toy idea-man Stan Weston. The action figure featured changeable clothes with various uniforms to suit different purposes. . ."

rickegeeGood research find, dotdude. I am rather surprised that 'action figure' as a marketing term was not around in the 1950s.
Once Star Wars came out, it rendered the central issue of this video moot. William could pretend that stormtroopers or cantina creatures were female or just spend an inordinate amount of time with Leia.
silvercordThis was an accidental downvote. Please don't send me a doll. Or M*A*S*H* reruns. Or Rosie Greer. Thank you.
I owe a "save."
