We're never too shy on our blog to shamelessly plug our action figures and music memorabilia over at our store at Rock-n-Roll-Action-Figures.com, but this post has nothing to do with the action figures we sell.
Yesterday, I was cruising around on the web and came across an action figure company that I didn't recognize. Their entire selection of action figures includes different Jesus action figures. There's a Jesus figure of Jesus surfing, riding a bull, on a Harley etc. I took a long look at the website because I actually thought the action figures themselves were pretty well done. I have seen lots of horribly produced Jesus action figures before that were pretty poorly made, but these weren't too bad. In fact, they were kinda cool... then I started thinking about them a little more. Is this horrible to make some cash selling action figures of Jesus Christ? Hmmmm... I'm just not too sure on this one. I wouldn't feel bad if I was selling a fine art sculpture of Jesus but since they're action figures it seems a little wierd. The company producing the Jesus action figures appears to be manufacturing the figures for people who are believers, but there is also a pop culture appeal to these action figures. What do you think? You can check them out at the manufacturer's website here.
