All I Want For Christmas is a Moses Doll
Yeah, that's right, Moses.
Just in time for the holiday season, the Christian company One2Believe has come out with their first line of Messengers of Faith figurines.
I happened upon a commercial for these gems a few mornings ago while flipping through the channels. Their uncanny resemblence to the "real Moses" and the "real Jesus" had me taken aback.
But don't let me do all the talking - the website has some amazing endorsements from supporters. One evangelical by the name of Jay Carty states, "Do you want your kids to be playing with WWF figures or Jesus? Star Wars characters or David? Xevoz weirdos or Moses? Mega Meatwad or Mary? Just a second. Let me think about it. How long did it take you to figure out which will be best for your kids?” You really know how to cut to the core of me, Jay. I'm sold.
At 12" tall and equipped with "realistic eyes," these are going to sell like hotcakes on the evangelical market...right? This article cites the reasons for the company's emergence into the evangelical market. A teddy bear production company is "trying to find a market with churches and religious families."
If you're anything like me, you've got to be thinking, "Come on, how am I supposed to decide between four messengers of faith?!" I don't see this decision-making process being an easy one. Moses has a handy wooden staff, but David's slingshot is classic. I'm afraid the stress of the holiday season is already upon me.
