A company called Biblequest has a whole series of toys available. They are sold through Christian Family Bookstores, I came across them while looking for a good book to buy there. ( They also sell lifesize replicas of the crown of thorns)

I bought the Moses figure because he comes with a mini version of the Ark of the Covenant. I thought it was pretty cool.

You can see the top of the Ark by his feet there. They also sell , David and Goliath, Noah, The three wise men, a Nativity playset, and others.

They're just miniature plastic statues.


Statues? You mean idols. They're damn graven images, I tell ya.

I'm sure my Star Wars action figure collection could beat the crap out of these Book of Mormon acion figures. How are Moroni, Nephi, and Samuel the Lamanite going to protect Zarahemla from an assault led by Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader, and an Imperial Walker? The Nephites don't stand a chance, and after they are taken prisoner I'm freezing them in carbonite (cups of water in the freezer).

Satanwasetup,

Yeh, your empire and their imperial walkers are all big and tough until they capture Han Solo and Moses and try to open the Ark of the Covenant, then we all know what happens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr49c9BHKoA

Everyone of you would get yer asses served if I broke out a cadre of Masters of the Universe actionoids! C'mon just think of the names alone: Mantenna (half man/half insect), Two-Bad (the dude had two heads and was a bad guy, get it?), Clawful (he was awful and had a claw, need I explain?), Man-At-Arms (he was a Man with, uh, arms...), Stinkor (give you two guesses what his special power was) and EVIL-LYNN!!! She was evil, all evil.

I tried to find some nice pics online, but looks like some feebs thought it was a good idea to revamp the line and make new versions of these perfectly good figures! Curse them! Curse them throughout all Eternia!!! May Skeletor wreak vengence upon them!

Or a Shiz doll that does headless pushups after being decapitated by a club with sharp obsidian "blades" (easily confused with a steel sword if you are too cheap to by eyeglasses for your kids).


Are you kidding? Have you even read snowcrash?
