i hear the mary mageline is hotty!
I really find this interesting that the owners are Catholic and Jewish.... and the Jewish owner said it doesn't seem strange to him selling the Jesus doll, though. In a way. I think it is cool.... But how do you handle your kids playing with Mother Mary and Jesus Action heros? will they take on G.I. Joe and Barbie...will it be a religious struggle or will there be a revival of the action toys...
When will Christian G.I. Joe come out?... with accessories like the 10 pound KJV Bible and the pull string "tounges" version. Not to mention the new prayer hands with microphone grip!
Blessings,

Hysterical!
I'm ashamed to admit, if I saw these dolls at a store I'd be tempted to buy them.
Of couse, I have a particular affinity for saint figurines coming from a Catholic background.
But then, of couse, my husband would be there to tell me I didn't need to waste my money. I really need to get away from all this marketing crap!!
How very sad that they market Jesus like this. No doubt people will buy them. :(
lol - yeah, i can follow along with that. and i know what to get *your mike* now for christmas, something to go with his pimped out PC!
no problem if this is the new "flannel board" - anything remotely like "marketing" turns my stomach, but i'm with you on that perspective of it all.
can i pick the verses the dolls recite? "father forgive them" and "are you going to leave, too?" would be my first choices.
I'd buy them for my kid, but he'd make them fight with the "Red" power-ranger. Jesus would win. I have 2 daughters and there are naked barbies laying all over the play-room...I wonder what he'd say?
