Please title your threads so that people aren't forced to follow a link to find out what you're talking about.

There's a video linked from within that article that shows three of the figures.

Biblical action figures are just boring. Kids are discouraged from using them to act out anything except Bible stories, because it's apparently sacrilegious to dress Jesus up as a ninja and have him dating Barbie. Sure, some Bible stories can hold a kid's attention for about five minutes, but most of them are too short and, let's face it, too damned preachy.

Heh, actually I've never really gotten the point of these either. If I gotten them as a kid they would likely be used as aliens for Star Trek or Greek Mythology characters.

Huh? I saw some really awesome Legends Style Figures at our local Christian Book Store a few months back. They were done very well and with great articulation and paint jobs. Not hoaky... I haven't seen them surface anywhere else. I thought they were kinda neat....

I haven’t seen pictures of any Marvel Legends style figures. The One2believe toys mentioned in the article consist of a few crudely sculpted fashion dolls of Jesus and Ester and big vinyl figures of Samson. The Samson figure looks squat and poorly articulated with only a few cut style joints.

In my opinion they are just very ugly and cheap looking toys. Certainly WAY below the various Mego knock off Biblical figures. Most of which were quite nice.
