"Rather than a comic book character"?

Sorry...but kids look up to their favorite superheroes rather than Jesus. That happens when they get older, like me. I look up to Jesus and everything, I don't want toys on them though.

I think them saying comic book characters are bad for children is ******ed.

Let your kids play with what they want and what they're interested in, and teach them about God and the Bible along the way with church.

if it was super articulated.....Well I'd buy a Jesus

lol i heard this on the news and here in texas if you go south u find bootleg ones

If they made a Jesus toy I'd try and get one so that Optimus Prime and Jesus could have a "my god is better than your god" arguement. Which would end with Primus (the god of the Transformers, whom I happen to have) pwning Jesus. Ohhh the posibilities.....

Will Jesus have crucifying action?

Playing with religious action figures seems kinda...wrong. I'm only waiting to see it in the news:

"Catholic Priest leads choir boys into his private chambers to see his rare variant Jesus action figure, but instead the boys get more than what they bargained for..."

 

[doc ock rules!]

They already made a Jesus toy.

Poseable and with gliding action!!!

Funny. This sort of reminds me of Moral Orel. Anyway, I just hope I don't see these toys in stores any time soon. Would be weird having an aisle dedicated to Muhammed, Zoraster, Jesus, etc. Could imagine a lot of fist fights there too.

Lol ..... Morel Orel....I saw that once when I was in the States.....it made me tee hee

Way back when during the days of the BCA series of wrestler figures (Bone-Crunching Action) I would often have matches with my brother. Well, not versus, but we'd set up whats known as the "card" which is the set numer of matches per "event" that we had amongst ourselves. Anyway, we'd always set up matches and such with our favorite figures and everything we'd take turns having one of our matches while the other watched as a fan/spectator. So one day I decided to get a particular character named "Mankind" into a match. Well, this particular figure of "Mankind" wore this all brown getup where the sleeveless V-neck top was a bit tattered and he had this cross kinda symbol on his back. Anyway, I don't know what made me do it, maybe because he was gonna fight another character named "Kane" who was this big evil mofo with a mask and was red an black and in actual wrestling would have alotta fire pyro involved in his entrance and matches. In fact he even has a particular match called the Inferno match were the ring is surrounded by fire. Anyway, for whatever reason I don't know why but I got this bright idea that "Mankind" (who wore this leather strapped mask and had long dark hair) was someone else. I grabbed another figure of a guy named "Diesel" and he was a non-masked, long & dark haired guy that had a goatee/beard kinda thing going. So, with these two figs in hand I decided to swap "Diesel"s head onto the "Mankind" body. The sum of those parts was to be known between me and my brother as "Big Daddy Jesus". The name "Big Daddy Jesus" was directly thought up from "Diesel's" nickname which was "Big Daddy Cool". Anyway, I rolled with it. Big Daddy Jesus vs Kane. The son of God vs a tortured soul turned spawn of the Devil. And thus I had my very own Jesus fig, as a wrestler in my very own Armageddon match.

And yes, Big Daddy Jesus won. I know Saint and Rough have some wrestling knowledge. For most the move won't mean much but his finisher was his version of the Outsider's Edge. Was I a bad kid??

 

[Caledor]

This would be an awkward toy, I have a small room so if I put this guy anywhere, I would know he's totally watching me when my girlfriend comes over.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

And you know Big Daddy Jesus ain't down with the pre-marital bumpin' uglies.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

oh the possibilites.

Do you think they'll release a Satan figure? He's in the Bible, right? I'd buy a Satan figure.

 

[tzarinna]

Hmmm, should be curious to see who buys them.

 

[Majik1387]

Remind me why they're anti-gay?
These guys are smiling in this position.

Well, we may not have the Jesus figure, but technically and spiritually speaking, we all have the God or Devil action figure. When you play with action figures, you are the puppeteer - therefore God or Devil is in you. So, you already have the fully articulated God or Devil action figure.


Are they going to have variants of the Jesus figure, such as a bloody, beat up Jesus? Or have black Jesus variants? Or you can send in proofs-of-purchases to get the mail-order figure of carpenter Jesus w/ hammer and wood table. It will be as popular as the old Anakin Skywalker mail-in figure from the 80s.

Well, whoever has a cross around their neck or a painting of him in the house or a cross hanging on the wall - it's the same thing as having an action figure of Jesus. Jesus has been crucified by the public into being Pop Culture Icon Jesus. An action figure of Jesus is nothing new or contraversial as how's he's been sold and marketed to the public already.
