Action Figures O' The Day, Episode 1: Jesus

El Cosmico here...I can always count on my pal LOGAN to send the goodness my way, and he brings us two tidbits of differing (depending on how you see the universe) goodness, here's the first.

I KNOW I'm asking for trouble here, but here goes...I'm not gonna comment on the goodness of Jesus, but there are some...interesting action figures over at http://www.trainupachild.com. They've put together an "African Heritage Series" and a "Caucasian Heritage Series". Hey, I've never met Jesus, but I don't remember hearing that he was Caucasian OR African. Wasn't he Semitic? Wouldn't that make him sort of Sephardic-looking? Oh boy, there I go asking for trouble...I can see the talkbacks and hate-mail already. Anyway, check out the action figures, they've got Adam, Eve (who seems to be Caucasian in BOTH sets), David, Goliath, Moses, Solomon, Job (my favorite), Mary, of COURSE there's Jesus, and then there's an angel, but they don't say which one or what type. Oh well. Go pick them up, and bring salvation to all of your other action figures (except your Spawn action figures, which Jesus will have to smite).
