That's Goliath in the "armor"?

Goes to show the inconsistency in thinking on the part of Fundamentalists. Goliath is hardly a Biblical "hero." In fact he might be considered a "bad guy."

Is there a David to kill Goliath? I mean, seriously?  :-\

They could have made him built like Michaelangelo's statue of David.  ;D

(I'm sure they would add a fig leaf, however. ...)

Is there an action Delilah to cut off Samson's - er - hair?  ;D

Is there - what was that guy's name who cut-off foreskins?  Or the guy who killed with his accessory jawbone of an ass?

OK, I'm starting to have waaaaaaaaay too much fun with this.  Is there a Lot family series?  Action daughters, a pillar of salt for a mother and Lot with his wineskins and easily removable clothing?

I think that was Samson--before Delilah cut his hair.  :P

I think the people who invented these dolls either don't know kids or forgot about their own childhood. I'm sorry if I offend anyone with this comment but I can't help myself. Lots of kids play "doctor" or "mom and dad" with action figures, don't they? My friends and I used to pair up barbie with GI Joe. They used to have a wild time together! So, some parents are going to be scandalized when they see their kids pairing Moses with Virgin Mary or Moses with Samson!  Don't you think? LOL

"Mommy, I like my Samson doll's dress.  Can I have one too?"  "No Timmy, you certainly may not."  "Why Mommy?  Samson's wearing one, and he's a faith-based action doll..."

Sure enough, that was Samson.  ;D

The bride price for David's first wife was a bunch of Philistine foreskins.  :P

Clarissa, that's priceless.

Not to mention his fabulous wristlets and headband!
