Wal-Mart to sell 12-inch talking Jesus doll and other Bible action figures

Wal-Mart to test Bible action figures in 425 U.S. stores

BENTONVILLE, Arkansas (AP) - Wal-Mart said today it will test sales in some stores of biblical action figures whose Southern California 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.

Wal-Mart Stores spokeswoman Melissa O'Brien says the toys made by One2believe of Valenica (California) will be offered in 425 of Wal-Mart's discount stores and Supercenters in the United States.

One2believe Chief Executive David Socha says his products are part of a "battle for the toy box" with dolls and figures that he says carry negative messages. O'Brien says the world's largest retailer believes there is demand for faith-based toys.

The toy line will be in some Wal-Mart shelves starting in August, mainly in the Midwest and South but also in California and as far northeast as Pennsylvania. The toys, based on biblical stories, include a three-inch figure of Daniel in the lion's den, a 12-inch talking Jesus doll and a 13-inch Samson action figure...

I loved Coolhand Luke.

with images of Plastic Jesus, dressed up in Barbie's clothes...pink, of course...

me bad...

somehow I don't think Jesus would have appreciated the commercial aspect of this...something about rich folk not getting into heaven?

Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car...

I'd say, if I were the kind of person who cared about all that stuff.

while I was growing up, and since I went to a Catholic school there was a statue here and there in the school, but something just doesn't feel right about kids playing with Jesus dolls. What kind of games would they play? Honestly, I can't even imagine!

At least that is what he would have been doing if someone gave me a doll like that as a kid.

At my house, GI Joe pillaged the Barbie Dream House, and Barbie seduced the boy scout doll.

Lots of spankings are going to go off when kids get caught doing crazy stuff with the 12 inch Jesus.

...will be getting serious competition for Barbie's attention from 13 inch Sampson.

Bwahahahaha!

Perv! :rofl:

Blasphemous.

Almost as blasphemous as the "See you in church Sunday --God" signs that are everywhere around the south.

down the aisle from the "JESUS IS COMING - R U SAVED" signs @$.99

the Christians who buy them inevitably eat them.

:shrug:

A Samson action figure, which has "genuine shaking the pillars of the pagan temple!" action?

Or maybe a Jesus doll complete with, "Genuine blood-spurting action!"

Scripture on the wrapper, a little cross on the candy.

And then there's http://christianthings.com/candy.html home of the Christian chocolate bar.

As Garrison Keillor once said, scripture doesn't belong on absolutely everything. Cheapens it.

I would have had them humping each other like I did Ken and Barbie.

and I'm getting a little jc jr. for me that way i can whip it out and say, "save me jebes!" whenever I want.

I say they are, at least by my interpretation of the Ten Commandments. But what do I know, I'm an atheist.

What do you think?

You know he isn't going to kick anyone's ass.

He'd have to get some of those guys from the old testament to kick ass for him.

I feel this may make some twisted children!

;)

;)

'Cause otherwise, it ain't happenin'.

baptism with your purchase of any new Jesus Action Doll! See you in Jesusland!

:eyes:

And this thread is cracking me up.

Healing headless barbie dolls...ahahahaha!

Usually these threads are just more Christianphobia garbage.............though this one IS pretty funny. :)

"Take care of the least of us"
"Promote peace"
"love each other"

Johnnies mom see's the dog walking around with the Jesus doll sticking out of, well, somewhere it don't belong

C'mon (you know who...MWAH) you know you want to!!!

I'm waiting.
