Wal-Mart to Sell Biblical Action Figures in Some Stores


Well, I'm not sure what to think about this one. It's a good idea if you want to avoid the everyday action figures as most are quite weird. While Walmart begins this test of selling Bible based action figures (Daniel, Jesus, and Samson- probably not the best role model for kids, but makes for an exciting action figure), I'm sure that someone will be "offended" by this and sue Walmart for their bias to Christianity. Anything else is allowed practically, but if it hints of God, it should be banned or cast out of the stores.

"Wal-Mart said Tuesday it will test sales in some stores of biblical action figures whose makers say they are aimed at Christian parents who prefer their children play with Samson, David or Noah rather than with a comic book character or Bratz doll.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) spokeswoman Melissa O'Brien said the toys made by One2believe, a Valencia, Calif., company, will be offered in 425 of Wal-Mart's 3,376 discount stores and Supercenters."
