WalMart to market Biblical Action figures

[Oh, Gee!!]

Wal-Mart To Test Bible Action Figures In 425 Stores

July 17, 2007: 12:11 PM EST

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) 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.

Wal-Mart spokeswoman Melissa O'Brien said the toys made by One2believe, a Valencia, Calif., company, will be offered in 425 of Wal-Mart's 3,376 discount stores and Supercenters.

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.

BTW, they do have a Jesus Christ doll.

I think you mistook it for the Moses doll. That's actually xray and his buddy, JC, hanging in the photo above.

[clambake]

The Xray doll is in the "Deliverence" section under mountain men.

I'm pretty if Jesus teamed up with Snake Eyes, they could kick the crap out of Goliath and Starscream.

I think in Hebrew it's known as a mumu.

Holy taking-games-too-seriously, Batman! Is it just me, or is this an odd story? I remember wanting to play with the same "toys" my brothers were playing with and us fighting about it, but I cant seem to recall the time where I felt it necessary to end said fights with a steak knife and extreme prejudice.

You mean, "hand down" said toy.

[Spurminator]

Samson FTW

Buy mighty, longhaired Samson and get skinny short-haired Samson half off

Itd be the equivalent of Bruce Banner and the Hulk, only really fucking righteous.

I think the Jesus doll would send the Bush doll to Doll Land to save the residents of Doll Land from the Decepticons

I beg to differ; Hulk never whored it up with Delilah.

The more this thread goes on, the more these toys NEED to be made much more available.

I want to see the advertisements.

[Spurminator]

This is the next big eBay fad. Especially since not every store will carry them.

[Extra Stout]

Why do they always make them white people? Was ancient Israel actually in the British Isles?

Old news..........these things have been out for years now.

I wonder what kind of 'roids they had back in those days...

[shelshor]

Toy Joy @ 29th & Guadelupe in Austin had them last Christmas--right next to the Crazy Cat Lady action figure I was getting for a friend

Commercial

That was obviously a fake. In my wildest state of dementia, Im not quite sure I could make anything more wrought and corny.

It was so bad, I didnt laugh. If thats real, Im officially flabbergasted.

[THE ONE AND ONLY]

They need Jesus variants. Carpenter Jesus, Preaching Jesus, Bloody Jesus w/ cross, and Resurected Jesus.
Vehicles could include donkeys, camels, and chariots. All of which fire those spring loaded missles.
They could even make a Cain and Abel two pack.

[possessed]

The Sodom and Gomorrah playsets will sell like hotcakes!

[boutons_]

An anatomically correct, whore-attired (Biblical accuracy), life-size Mary Magdalen using Monica Bellucci as model would sell well.
