Personally, I think this toy might have been better as a "doll" than an "action figure", but either way, it's a good gift for any off-beat cat enthusiast.
The crazy cat lady, as pictured here, comes complete in a set with six accompanying cats for the modest price of about $10.
Some people might take offense to this stereotype, but in all fairness, the lady does not actually look that crazy. In fact, if presented sans-packaging, this toy can easily be sold as "cat-loving granny".
