"We feel blessed that the toys are now in the hands of thousands of children, teaching them the word of God. We knew that the toys would make great Christmas gifts, but to see them sell so well before the Christmas buying season begins proves that parents want alternatives in the toy aisle," says Livingston.
It may also prove that goth kids still buy gag gifts, but we don't want to hurt Mr. Livingston's feelings or anything.

]]>When you said "Christmas (or whatever)" were you referring to the other holidays that happen around the same time as Christmas? Do you think someone would be getting a Jesus doll for Hanukkah?
]]>What about the Second Commandment? "
Dear Karl,
This isn't a 'graven' image but rather 'injection molded.' I hope that helps to allay your concerns.
]]>"That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older and they stay the same age."
]]>I do wonder what this talking Jesus says. The first thing it ought to say is "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." But the real money is in the accessories. The Last Supper Table would also be popular (other action figures sold separately).
]]>BFF,

]]>@clocker: rotflmao you're going to hell for that comment. I'll be welcoming you for having laughed so hard. heh
]]>@karlrove: "What about the second commandment?" I second that. It was my first thought as well.
]]>i like the quote from whatshisface about this piece of plastic teaching kids the word of god. What a load of crap.
i can imagine this thing sitting in a living room somewhere, the walls covered in paneling, a couch with filthy pillows reading "god bless america" and a singing bass.
]]>Anyways, maybe if they made more then 12 of these things they wouldnt have sold out so quick?
]]>You sure he wont sing Highway to the Danger Zone when you make him talk?
]]>You know.... I just cannot WAIT until there are reports of this doll saying obscene things! Because you just know it WILL happen! A talking jesus doll would be the ultimate target for these type of pranks!
]]>That Jesus is MANtastic!
]]>I am Jack's complete lack of surprise
]]>correction.... "C.A.I.R" [www.cair.com]
]]>Search for it online - there's also a talking Mary, David, Noah, and Moses. Oh my!
]]>You learn something new everyday...
]]>dont give it to anyone from the middle-east ... otherwise C.A.R.E will have you charged with a hate-crime.
]]>"For God so loved the Bee Gees (not to mention foreign outsourcing), that He granted the exclusive contract to create a false idol in Barry Gibb's image to a Shanghai businessman (and Clinton campaign contributor), so that unstable Jesus freaks in Des Moines (who own guns at 9 years of age and worship Sid from Toy Story) could have hours of fun testing out their Eugenics "experiments."
]]>I already got one. My parents sent me a cellphone pic a few months ago. Made them pick it up. I now bring it to Poker games when I need to be obnoxious.
]]>Can it be programed to spout Huckabee crap?
]]>I wonder how many of those kids actually wanted this for christmas?
If any, then it is probably those slightly odd kids everyone grew up with. (like the flanders kids)
]]>@Papa Midnight:
screw walmart, buy it from the man who made it:

Hey kids you ready for an action figure that doesn't play by the rules! Well get ready for talking Jesus action figure! That's right when push comes to shove Jesus will be there to talk the sinners down. Act now and get 3 vouchers for damning a scientist to hell for eternity!
]]>@theWolf: Don't forget a pack of Camels rolled up in his sleeve, and coming soon--trailer park activity set complete with singing bass!
]]>I wasn't planning on getting one. But now with this shortage, I feel like I should. Anyone out there scalping these for profit? I might be interested.
]]>Um, action "figure."
]]>That talking Jesus action looks like he should come with a Trans-Am and a rolled-up twenty dollar bill.
]]>He's still no Buddy Christ.
