No, [_really_](http://www.jesus-action-figure.com/). **MonkeyMule** thinks you’ll all hate me for posting it, but I figure once you see His “Walk on Water” action, you’ll want one too! ---

I’ve always liked my buddy’s David Koresh action figure. Just be careful not to spill the ashes when you open the box. ---

Quick update: Our Lord and saviour has retured to his proper place on my desk. Much better place for him than the glove box of a Jeep. ---

The website has apparently had so much traffic that pictures won’t load anymore. Ah, well, for my money, there’s nothing better than the [Buddy Christ](http://store.yahoo.com/jsbstash/budchrisdass1.html) anyway. 🙂 ---

There are about a half dozen Jesus action figures, I have a black one. The gliding one I think the OP speaks of, the company also markets a Freud figure _which I have_ and a Poe figure _which I haven’t yet seen in stores_ ---

> [@FriarTed](#): > > The gliding one I think the OP speaks of, the company also markets a Freud figure _which I have_ and a Poe figure _which I haven’t yet seen in stores_ I believe that same company also markets an Einstein action figure, with crazy hair. Which is fantastic. ---

My Jesus is a Buddy Christ too. My girfriend gave it to me since alot of people tell me a look that. ``` I have a few freinds that call me Jebus ("but i don't beleive in Jebus" & SAVE ME JEBUS!!! -Homer Simpson) ``` ---

Heh…I especially liked the quote… > [@That Go-Go-Action Jesus Web Page](#): > > “It’s like Mel Gibson’s PASSION without all the hassle…” > > - David Manning, Ridgefield Press Very clever…use of [Manning’s](http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/manning.html) name As an aside, I crucified my G.I. Joe when I was a kid. Pipe cleaner crown of thorns, fake blood and everything. Mom was so proud, and my religon class teacher gave me an extra credit A for it. Man, some things in life are seriously fucked-up in retrospect. ---

Back in the '60s there was an Odd Job figure that could fling his derby. That’d be a nice feature for Jesus with his crown of thorns like a quoit. Also, maybe he could summon the LambofGodmobile and Kristocopter by whistling through the holes in his hands. I’d give him a utility belt, too, with and endless supply of loaves and fishes. ---

That’s pretty hysterical. I’ve been searching to find the link that someone posted here at SDMB to some almost equally strange Jesus statues, showing Jesus playing soccer and guitar and whatnot with Good Little Kids. Does anyone remember that? A colleague of mine here at work is gobsmacked by Action Figure Jesus and I’d like to blow his mind some more. ---
