I don't really grasp the concept of faith based action figures, there are plenty of toys and games that reflect positive family values without having to be overtly religious. I kind of think the Bible doesn't need a toy tie in.
When I play "guys" with my kids, nobody dies, everybody is a team player and are considerate towards one another, despite my involvement.

I'm one that has never cared for the potrayal of Real Biblical figures as toys sorry just doesn't work for me especially making Jesus.I want my kids to have more reverance for my Lord and Savior than an action figure. If you're going to make a Jesus figure then where is Satan? Ooops right ya can't market that to kids......
There used to be a site that displayed custom figures of various religious icons as part of a fictional toy line. I can't find it anymore, but it was called something like "Jesus Christ Superstore." Either the YHWH/Yahweh or the Muhammad was just an empty box, either as a nod to the Islamic law, or the idea that YHWH can't be pronounced.
There are also the Mego-like Rainfall figures that were sold at Christian book stores, which I recall having seen up to a few years ago.
I thought the WalMart ones were going to be a little smaller, and that they would work as custom fodder for the inevitable clearance. Alas and also alack...
Hey! Where's the waiter with the water for my daughter?
I remember seeing the Rainfall figures at our local Christian Bookstore. In the days before Doc Mego and CTVT, I so wanted to buy them for Mego parts, but the idea of destroying Biblical figures seemed wrong to me. I just couldn't do it.
I'm kind of disturbed by the whole religious figures thing too, I guess.
I remember seeing the Rainfall toys at a flea market in the 80's, even though they looked like Mego's (which I was actively collecting) the concept made me skiddish. The only time I got religious merch of any kind was the Marvel "The Pope" comic.
