This is a toy upon which you will have to decide yourself.
Here is a Jesus doll powered by battery (so don’t let your little one try to have it walk on water!)
Quote:
Messengers of Faith
are fun toys that introduce Bible stories and scripture by speaking these important stories to children. With Messengers of Faith, Bible characters and their stories come to life!
Or so the advertisement goes. Now, if you click the link, there is a second link to listen to Jesus Doll speaking John 3:16.
Hunting round the site there are Moses, Mary, Noah, Peter, and a few others also available.
I rather suppose that
Moses will speak with a Joo-York Accent like Jackie Mason
Mary will have an Irish accent
The voice of Noah will have a background of rain
And Peter will deny that he was ever told to be pope or to pass down the job
Unfortunately the makers have not chosen KJV for the speaking part so that’s one point down.
The figure of Christ could be described by some as a “graven image” so that’s another point down.
Off-set against this is (i) the pleasure that a young child (up to 14 years) will have with the toy, (ii) the way his school friends will find new respect for him and (iii) a toy that is clearly a video-game beater.
$19.99
