That talking Jesus action looks like he should come with a Trans-Am and a rolled-up twenty dollar bill.

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.

They make Jesus action figures? When did this happen?!

@theWolf: Don't forget a pack of Camels rolled up in his sleeve, and coming soon--trailer park activity set complete with singing bass!

@BloggyMcBlogBlog: Agreed. Dogma's been out for about a decade, and yet the Buddy Christ statue still hasn't caught on? We need action figures here people, statues and bobbleheads aren't enough.
Jesus action figure ha!
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!

Just let me know when Buddy Christ is for sale at my local Wal-Mart. I'll jump right on that.
@Papa Midnight:
screw walmart, buy it from the man who made it:

bonus: it comes \"ready for action.\"

I've seen those things... Creepy as HELL!
What about the Second Commandment?

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)
God damn it.
Can it be programed to spout Huckabee crap?

Don't forget to buy the Pedophile Priest w/ prepubescent alter boy.
Yeah I know I am going to hell, but since I am catholic i think i will just repent right before i die and all is good.
Doesn't this look like Barry Gibb? I think if you switched out the clothes for a white suit, you could tap into a whole other market.
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.

\"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.\"
dont give it to anyone from the middle-east ... otherwise C.A.R.E will have you charged with a hate-crime.

I just can't help but think that a Talking Muhammed Action Figure would probably start World War III.
@karlrove: Huh....I was gonna say false idols are in the 1st commandment, not the 2nd...but apparently different faiths group false idols differently into 1st/2nd...

Search for it online - there's also a talking Mary, David, Noah, and Moses. Oh my!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-224290-100x100.png\")
Kinda makes you want to go to Walmart and scream, \"Who do I have to blow around here to get a talking Jesus action figure??!!\"
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise
That Jesus is MANtastic!
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!
So it's okay to poke fun at Jesus and Catholic Priests, but... But really, I wasn't trying to be funny per se, I really think there's a lot of people that would go totally postal if you marketing it. I just like the irony of things like that.
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-119389-100x100.png\")
Looks to me more like a Kenny Loggins action figure.
You sure he wont sing Highway to the Danger Zone when you make him talk?
God is an iron.

Anyways, maybe if they made more then 12 of these things they wouldnt have sold out so quick?

Does this Jesus action figure come with kung fu grip?
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-176286-100x100.png\")
OH...MY...GOD!
WHO WOULD BUY SUCH A STUPID PIECE OF CRAP???
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.
@SacraBos: [politicalhumor.about.com]
He's no Messenger, but his name is probably Muhammed. All the little Jesus Campers can use their Jesus action figures to beat down the terrorists!
![\"user-pic\"](\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-251966-100x100.png\")
Won't the kiddies be pissed when the doll disappears on Easter?
after i get tired of playing with my Christ, i will have him hold my Grand Theft Auto boxes!
The fact that Wal-Mart sells this just adds to the humor - cause, umm, pretty sure the son of God wouldn't be loving their business practices and how they treat their employees. What do you want to bet the Golgotha action set will be the next hot seller?

I really bet that a lot of adults bought it just for the notoriety, and their kids will never be able to touch it.
Does Jesus really need kung-fu grip?

@busydoingnothing: Of course. After all, he's fighting those dirty, commie heathens in Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Lebanon and everywhere else that the NeoCons send him to say, \"America - f*ck yeah!\"
...Umm, despite the fact that our lil' baby Jesus was - bless his subversive lil' heart - a rag-head too.
China appreciates your business. You are much easier to manipulate into buying the remade scraps from AK47 gun stocks than we thought. This is even easier than the \"Support Our Troops\" stickers that we made. We laughed about that one for months.

Hmm. I see an Operation GI Joe/Barbie switch relapse in the making. Switch the Jesus Voice Chip with like the Undertaker or Hulk or Randy the Macho Man Savage.... Or Barbie...
@ETHEREALSTRIFE Given that Muhammed is a common name, could be true!
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).
I want the stigmata-gushing Action Cross™, myself.
@theWolf: hahahahaha!!!

What does he say, I wonder? Whatever it is, I'm sure the real Jesus is laughing his head off at this.

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.
\"If you were planning on getting a Talking Jesus Action Figure this Christmas (or whatever)\"
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?
I think the demand for these are not because people are exceptionally religious, it is because of the striking resemblance to Chuck Norris.
Because America apparently accepts and embraces \"white Jesus\"
Which is why I don't go to church any more...
I'll believe a dude walked on water, but I won't believe that Jesus was some pasty white dude living in Jerusalem.
(And before I'm banned for seeming racist, [I'm] Caucasian, guilty.)
