What Are They Trying To Do To Me?!

 

"Biblical Adventures is a fully detailed and educational action figure line from D13Toys, bringing well known characters from the Bible to classrooms, religious institutions, and toy collections worldwide! Each figure is fully posable with 31 points of articulation, realistic details, and a variety of accessories. Each figure will also come in a hardcover package replicating a Bible, with a short biography in English, Spanish, and Hebrew, as well as a specific scripture relevant to the individual character written on faux parchment paper." - Description from BigBadToyStore.



Lucifer







St. Anthony of Padua










From the company D13 come the 6-inch format Biblical Adventures line. Just look at this! They are designed (broadly) for use in Sunday schools and other educational or religious uses. There are seven Jesus figure (besides the one shown here) including a Black Jesus; others are modeled on specifically Catholic devotions, such as the Sacred Heart or the Divine Mercy, and even Jesus Pantocrater. Much of the modeling (especially the demons) is done after medieval art or popular iconography. I swear the Jesus looks like Max Von Sydow and one of the Moses heads resembles Charles Heston. They're going for between $40 and $60.  Look at those accessories! The Ten Commandments, golden calf, spare beheaded head of John the Baptist, pools of blood for the demons to stand on, - even a table for the showbread in the Tabernacle set. I want these all so badly! If only I had a couple of thousand extra dollars to drop.
