The bible mentions 35 miracles performed by Jesus that range from wilting a fig tree to raising the dead.

The jug represents the miracle of turning water into wine. Jesus performed this miracle at a wedding when the lengthy celebrations exhausted the supply of wine. The fish and bread represent the miracle of transforming 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread into enough food to satisfy a hungry crowd of over 5,000 people.

Jesus performed this miracle after delivering his 'Sermon on the Mount' speech. He was executed at a young age as a common criminal. Since then, he has been the topic of many theological debates. Although he is understood in many different ways, everyone seems to agree that he was an extraordinary man.

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my brother-in-law. Meant to be light-hearted, and for that I think it hits the spot. Several small parts, so be careful around pets and small kids. Enjoy!

Well, at least the folks at Funatics have slightly improved on their first version of the Jesus action figure (check Him out at www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006FUEV4)... but only slightly. The sculpt and paint job are a fair sight better than Funatics' previous effort... but could still use some work (why not license that work out to the guys at McFarlane Toys?). Fortunately, the addition of accessories-- in this instance, loaves and fishes, and water-to-wine jugs-- is a nice added touch.
The only thing that didn't improve in the slightest is the articulation. I mean, come ON, now... you put out a miniature plasticized representation of The King of Kings, and He can only rotate His head and shoulders, and bend His elbows?! You can't have Him properly re-enact the turning over of the merchants' counters in the temple with such limited poseability! And you may as well forget about re-enacting the Crucifixion...
Anyhoo: put all the above factors together, and the whole kit & kaboodle screams, "Rush job!" Seriously, people, if you're gonna make an action figure of the Son of God, then for His sake put some effort and pride in your handiwork! And most importantly: you DON'T sculpt Him to resemble an anorexic Al Borland from the "Home Improvement" TV show, sans plaid flannel! Now if THAT ain't a crime in the eyes of God, I don't know what is...
