This is just to funny.:lol:
Wal-Mart said Tuesday it will test sales in some stores of biblical action figures whose makers say they are aimed at Christian parents who prefer their children play with Samson, David or Noah rather than with a comic book character or Bratz doll.
One2believe Chief Executive David Socha said his products were part of a "battle for the toy box" with dolls and figures that he said carry negative messages.

"If you're very religious, it's a battle for your children's minds and what they're playing with and pretending. There are remakes out there of Satan and evil things," Socha said.

Here is the article.

    What the hell? If they've got a problem with Satan action figures then who the hell is Jesus going to fight?

    That's some short-sighted marketing right there.

    Yes, because Sampson played nicely with those Philistines and in no way killed dozens of them with the jaw bone of an ass or burned all their crops because he was pissed off. He's such a roll model for being peaceful and good.

    Hopefully this line is successful and they make a line of modern christian "warriors" like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. I need something for my transformers and batman figures to crush.

    I've seen Jesus and Moses action figures for years. They carry them at Newburry comics (Music and DVDs). You can get a white OR black Jesus. Is Wal*Mart going to carry only the Anglo-Saxon variety?

    That's actually one of my biggest issues with Jesus-freaks. They aren't even idolizing a remotely-accurate image. I guess that helps them support their views on white racial superiority though.

    God that is stupid. I would fucking hate these things if I was a kid.

    If I had one I'd make all the real toys beat the shit out of all the prophets. Not Jesus though, that's what he'd want. I'd put him in a shoe box and bury that fucker.

    Jesus action figure with fishes and loaves, and water to wine? Boooring, the only Jesus action figure that could ever interest me is the one where he goes crazy and tears up the temple. Otherwise he's just walking around talking to people and washing their feet with the occasional magic trick. *yawn

    Doesn't matter if one specific person was or was not a prostitute, Jesus was an advocate of "the down-trodden" which basically means the lowest and most reviled people in society. So, like, strippers, pimps, drug dealers, and US presidents.

    Damnit, why must Jesus have non-rotatable shoulders? Sure, he can raise the roof with those arms, but how am I supposed to recreate the final scene of Spartacus with a bunch of crucified Jesi? Jesuses? What would the plural of Jesus be, is it like Moose? Just Jesus? Hmm.
