Mmm... Sacrilicious...

While out shopping today, mrs_clubber wandered into a Mind Games store. Among other things, they had this awesome toy on the shelf for only $20:



It's the Deluxe Miracle Jesus Action Figure. He comes with awesome accessories: five loaves of bread, two fishes, and a jug of water-that-will-be-wine. The best part for my money, though, was that green and black sticker on the box: "Now With Glow In The Dark Hands!" And it's true! Jesus' hands are made of that bilious green glow-in-the-dark plastic. I can't find the part in the scriptures that mention Jesus' glowing extremities, bt who cares? Glow-in-the-dark hands!

I didn't buy it, but now I sort of wish I had*. For starters, it's delightfully sacrilicious, and secondly, it would keep my awesome Sir Wilfred Laurier action figure company.

If they come out with a Judas Iscariot action figure ("Now With Glowing Devil Eyes!"), I'm getting both and YouTubing me an epic battle scene.

*I have always regretted not buying the world's tackiest crucifix from Shell World on my one trip to Florida. It was a plastic gold-chromed Jesus on a crucifix made of glued-together sea-shells. I forget how much it was, but I wish I'd bought it, mostly because no matter how well I describe it, you cannot possibly picture just how unbelievably tacky it truly was. It was awesomely tacky. When somebody says something is tacky, this crucifix is the benchmark I hold it up to, and I always end up thinking, "Oh, that's not tacky, mate..."
