I totally looked at the picture of these faith-based Samson and Goliath dolls about to hit the shelves at Wal-Mart and thought I was looking at a new Chi Chi movie (NSFW link) or new Rome versions of Over The Rainbow Billy. But no — they’re doing it for the children. Snip from BBC:
Instead of Spiderman or Bratz dolls, children in the US could soon be clutching a talking Jesus toy, a bearded Moses or a muscle-bound figure of Goliath.
From the middle of August, Wal-Mart, the biggest toy retailer in the US, will for the first time stock a full line of faith-based toys.
The Bible-based action figures will initially be given two feet of shelf space in 425 of the company’s 3,300 stores nationwide.
There, the Tales of Glory dolls will take on what their makers are calling “the battle for the toy box” with some of the nation’s most popular action figures.
