Have you ever wondered what Michelangelo’s “
David” would look like if it were kneeling and giving a thumbs up, like a wide receiver who just scored a touchdown? Or what if, instead of being paralyzed by existential anguish and intellectual inquiry,

The Table Museum, a line of action figures based on iconic sculptures from Japanese toy manufacturer
FREEing. [
