Jesus doll ready for market

Press button, hear figure repeat Scripture

A Jesus doll that quotes the Bible at the push of a button is the star of a Messengers of Faith collection set to be released in June by a Valencia-based company that hopes the secular market is ready for the toys.

Also part of the series are Barbie-size Moses, David and Virgin Mary dolls, being developed by the Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Co. in Valencia, which already markets a teddy bear that sings "Jesus Loves Me."

Snip

"I think from certain people (the dolls) probably will cause controversy because they don't want something to go to the right," he said.

4. Quotes the bible?
Shoudn't they have said that he quotes HIMSELF?

Looks like he has the Star Trek movie Kahn's pecs. Did Jesus use juice?

9. I wonder which passages Little He recites?
Maybe some that really crazy shit out of Revelations? Or the stuff about killing everybody in the whole town and all the animals and salting the ground forever and ever amen.

:evilgrin:

11. I collect this stuff... really, I do. But,
isn't this really "the cash-in on the Passion?" :puke:

The 12-inch poseable figures, meant for children 4 to 10, also are collectors items and will sell for $24.99. Each doll is numbered. A child can push a button in the doll's back, and the doll will recite Scripture, Socha said.

Socha also said he expects some controversy, judging by the response the film "The Passion of the Christ" sparked before its release and the subsequent discussions about the power of the religious right.


It probably quotes from the Good King Jimmy, too (King James Version). I think I'll pass on this one.

12. If it's based on Mel Gibson's NASCAR Jesus movie...
Edited on Mon Apr-04-05 01:50 AM by onager
...then where's the whip?

I do see a gold mine in potential FUTURE marketing, though. A leper doll he can heal...a Lazarus doll with Authentic Tomb Odor ("He stinketh!")...a Virgin Mom doll he can insult ("Woman, what have you to do with me?"). Etc.

<edit>

And I can already hear the parents in Toys R Us....

"24.99? JESUS CHRIST!" :evilgrin:

(BTW, that's from the Daily Snooze. We only have 2 "major" newspapers left in Los Angeles, and that gibbering, right-wing POS is one of them. It's part of the Jack Kent Cooke chain.

Not all that long ago, it was a giveaway shopping paper called "Valley News And Green Sheet."

17. I already have a Jesus "action figure"
it's about five or six inches tall--still sealed in the box
(made by the same company who made sigmund freud action figure doll)

Jesus Action Figure
http://www.mcphee.com/amusements/current/10746.html
"Everyone has a different take on Jesus. Muslims saw him as a prophet; Buddhists say he was enlightened; Hindus consider him an avatar (the incarnation of a deity in human form) while Christians hail him as the Son of God. But, wherever your theological compass points, you will agree that this is the coolest action figure since G.I. Joe. Each hard plastic Jesus Action Figure stands 5" tall with poseable arms to reach toward the heavens and wheels in his base for smooth gliding action. Comes in our illustrated package with biblical quotes on the back."

Sigmund Freud Action Figure
http://www.mcphee.com/bigindex/current/10884.html
"Celebrate the great achievements of the man responsible for modern psychotherapy with this Sigmund Freud Action Figure. Each 5" tall figure captures Freud in a pensive pose, holding a distinctly phallic cigar. Prop him on your desk or nightstand to inspire you to explore the depths of your unconscious and embrace the symbolism of your dreams."

there are more including a librarian action figure & shakespeare. they make the perfect (gag) gift!!
