Hasbro To Produce Jesus, Muhammad Action Figure Line
Let the battle for the heavenly kingdom begin! In a surprisingly anti-politically correct move, Hasbro has announced that they are going to begin selling Jesus and Muhammad action figures. The company says Jesus will have come in a play-set withÂ 12 disciples, while Muhammad will come with his 9 wives.Â Â âWeâre pretty excited and nervous at the same time,â said Hasbro CEO Charles Cummings. âWeâre excited for the new product line, and because kids all over the world will be battling for heavenly victory. Jesus and Muhammad will both come with Kung-Fu grip, and there will also be plenty of accessories including, tanks, fighter planesâ¦plus AR15âs for the disciples and AK47âs for Muhammadâs wives.ââWeâre a bit nervous about the product line, because we know itâs going offend people. We have really beefed up security at our Pawtucket headquarters.Â We know that having only Jesus and Muhammad represented is discriminatory. If the product line does well, we do plan on expanding the line to include Buddha and whatever the hell it is that atheists worship.âÂ âItâs a rip off. Total junk â theyâre just revamping GI Joe and Cobra Commander dolls,â said Carmine Classi, vintage toy collector. âI will get them, of course, when they go on sale. Iâll buy online, though, for sure. I wouldnât feel safe going into a store that has the balls to put them on the shelves. No one is selling them yet, and that just makes me want them more.ââSo far, we canât find anyone to sell them,â said Hasbro Marketing Executive Phil Phillips. âWe really didnât foresee this problem. Funny thing though â as it turns out, the Muslims are cool about it. Pictures of Muhammad are not cool, but action figures, I guess thatâs alright. This time, itâs the religious right making all the noise to have the toys pulled. It must be the Jesus dollâs superpower of being able to turn water into grenades thatâs getting them mad.âÂ
