The Word Became Plastic

Move over, Ken - Talking Jesus dolls are scheduled to hit the shelves in May. Moses and Mary are also on their way. Apparently, they're about a foot tall and programmed with a number of scripture verses.

My big question is why does Jesus look more like a surfer than a first-century Jewish rabbi? He looks like he needs to finish every sentence with "dude".

a surfer Jesus.. hey now, that's got
some potential when the Harley metaphor
wears off..

it's funny, dolls, talking or otherwise usually always end up with missing limbs and heads at our
house.

maybe they'd show some respect to
these? hmmm..

thought I had seen it all..

I can see it now...

"So, dudes, the righteous are, like, righteous, you know? And the wicked? They are totally NOT wicked."

I hope the Harley has some miles left... ;)

On boy, for years women had to have the "barbie doll figure" and now we have a new image for Moses and Mary! Yikes

Dude is ripped, too. Check out those shoulders!

Here's the link to the company's website. I have to be honest, this is starting to give me the creeps. I think it was the comment about "collectors" on the site.

I wonder if they'll do the woman caught in adultery... maybe she'll look like Barbie™?

Perhaps they'll also sell little crosses that you can nail Jesus to.

Collect all 962 figures! Kids, don't miss out on the beautiful Bathsheba doll (sold as a set with your choice of Uriah or David)! Re-enact the whole story with the Ehud and Eglon set, complete with disappearing sword! Get all the accessories too — you'll have hours of fun with the glow-in-the dark Ark of the Covenant! (Batteries not included.)

Where do I get in line to order?

Personally, I'm looking forward to the Ten Commandments set, complete with Golden Calf, pagan revelry accessories, and exclusive Levite with Battle Gear and Action Grip figure.
