For an action figure that is supposed to be a resemblance of the Son of God, this toy is lame. Granted, it's kind of cool to have a toy Jesus, but it's not a very good toy. Other than his arms, the figure has no flexibilty whatsoever: his legs are permanently hidden beneath a robe of hard plastic and his head is fixed in a frozen forward gaze. Even though his arms can move, they are only capable of forward and backward motion. Finally, the gliding action feature of the toy (meaning little wheels on the figure's base) is more of an annoyance than anything else. The toy has a coolness factor of a ten (It's Jesus, man), but as a toy it resembles something a kid can get out of one of those claw games.

with only four points of articulation and a less than functional set of wheels on the bottom of this figurine, it's a pretty clumsy work of craftsmanship, but the redeeming quality is pretty obvious - it's Jesus! Basically, Jesus can only do two poses: loving outstretched arms, and TOUCHDOWN!!!
the packaging is pretty great, placing Jesus in front of a Jerusalem landscape and highlighting the glorious tackiness of the product. This will make a great present for the atheist on your list.

This piece is different. I thought it was going to look better than it did. The paint on it seemed smudged and it looked like what ever painted it couldn't stay in the lines. It does roll okay and my smaller cousin likes it, she is 4, but my older one just looks at it funny. I say for younger kids, not too young of course it is nice and they will probably enjoy it since kids don't normally look at how detailed something is or how well the paint is done on a toy, but for older kids, the box has some good stuff on it, educational, but other than that, they won't think it is too cool. If it looked a little better over all, I think they would think it is cool but not the way it is.

I always said I wasnt' gonna be the parent that packed a bag of toys and snacks to get my kids to sit thru church service, but that was long before I had 4 kids 4 and younger. I still don't want them to have any ol' thing when I want them to start learning about faith and church, so we've looked around for some religous options. Other than books it's very slim pickins (and I don't want my kids sitting there with books saying "read this momma", "what does this say momma?), so we bought one of these for our four year old son as his "church toy" and he LOVES it. Yes, it's cheaply made (the paint is slapped on very poorly), but it seems to be a pretty sturdy piece of plastic that I'm not worried about falling apart, and come on it's Jesus!
