Astrotoy7 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Howdy Y'all Jesus action figures ? now I know some of you have probably seen these on TV etc, but I have only come across them recently. Im not Christian myself, but even in Islam, Jesus is an important prophet(or Hazreti Peygamberas we call him). Still, I find these action figures at one level really cool and at another, strangely disturbing... what do others think ? warning ! no religioso flaming ! my faves...soccer jesus and and martial arts jesus !
Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 OMG A pink belt martial artist!11:D Ok, those are.... Odd. But they're statues, not action figures:).
jon_hill987 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 i can't believe people make that stuff. To see a spoof advert... it's an old one but check out the vid 2nd from bottom. http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmcollection/6/183?htv=12
Bob Lion54 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 My favourite is Football Jesus . The kid tackling Jesus is going to hell
Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 It's an old one but check out the vid 2nd from bottom. Awesome. "Take this!" "Cross not included".
Writer Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 The "Jesus is my Coach" series was pretty cool, but that video was rather disturbing... especially after watching the Passion of the Christ. What kid without problems will want to jab Jesus in the side with a Roman spear after that movie?
IG-64 Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I have no problem with the coach series, it seems to show a warmth and innocence. Although it is a bit... akward. The other stuff however, is pure BS.

What kid without problems will want to jab Jesus in the side with a Roman spear after that movie? No one would. It's a joke about the commercialization about Jesus, I suppose:). I suppose whoever made it doesn't like the passion. And no parent without problems would let their kids watch the passion.
The Hidden One Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 And no parent without problems would let their kids watch the passion. Why not? It's a realyy inspiring movie.

Hermie Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Just realised something. It looks like two kids are innocently playing football (no I wont call it soccer, go away), and then Jesus comes in, tackles the kid and steals the ball.

ZBomber Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Originally posted by RpTheHotrod I like 'em. Reminds me of this, though, heh. And that reminds me of the Family Guy episode. *Jesus hits the golfball, landing inches away from the hole* GUY: Hah, you missed Jesus! JESUS: Or did I? *Jesus magically moves the ball towards the hole* JESUS: Ba-ba-ba-boo yah!
El Sitherino Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Originally posted by The Hidden One Why not? It's a realyy inspiring movie. It's crap, the Last Temptation is a far superior movie. Even Jesus Christ Superstar (the 70's one) is better.
Surfnshannon Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 They look more like collectable figures than action figures? I was picturing something more along the lines of the Star Wars san Jesus Figures. These are perfectly fine. Whatever gets the word across.
Astrotoy7 Posted May 6, 2005 Author Posted May 6, 2005 Originally posted by STTCT ...Whatever gets the word across. the word being that if you are a kid who plays soccer you are likely to have the ball stolen by a long haired dude in a robe and sandals mtfbwya
Kurgan Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 *insert obligatory reference to the Nazarene as a goalie* JESUS SAVES!

Mike Windu Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 Hahah... those are awesome figures. I wouldn't want em in my house though... I don't think Jesus would enjoy being next to Spongebob, Patrick, Faramir, Grievous and Yoda...
