crap, Darth Vader's costume doesn't fit on my Jesus doll!
Thanks to everyone who alerted me to the existence of this: Some things to think about:
My brother had GI Joe dolls that were this size (back before that weird 80s shrinking) and before I got a hippie Ken doll (with Now Look Hair! and adhesive goatee!) they were pretty much Barbie's main dating pool. So I'm picturing Jesus getting stuck in the Dream House kitchen, possibly dressed in Rocker Ken gear.
Dolls always end up naked in a pile. While I am vaguely interested in knowing how the 'boxers vs. briefs' thing plays out here, there's something weird about Jesus in a pile of naked Barbies.
Seriously, how long is it going to be before someone swaps out that voice box with Talking Barbie or Talking GI Joe or, hey, my Talking Tick Action Figure. Verily I say unto you, SPOOOOON!
Yes, I know, this is supposed to be an alternative to the whole Barbie/GI Joe thing, but I don't really think that any kid outside of Rod and Todd Flanders is going to be especially excited to get this at their birthday party. It's a lame toy, if used as intended...which, actually, I'm not sure how it's intended to be used. Let's play Sermon on the Mount! Let's put sores on Ken and then heal him (ok, that could be fun)! Let's set the shrubbery on fire and reinact the burning bush scene! Hmmmm.
