The Jesus Christ Superstore(supposedly) sells action figures, modeled after Jesus, the Pope, Buddha, Krishna, and more. "Putting the fun back into fundamentalism and the laughter into sectarian slaughter." (Yeah, it's a novelty link. But it's a good one.)

I couldn't help but notice that Buddha is pretty buff for a big guy, and Allah's, um, invisible.

Cute idea. But when they actually start carrying stock, then maybe this'll ascend to a higher concept/plane.

“look closely at thumbnails to view larger images”

LOL ... that’s hilarious.

yikes. watch the toes.

I am not offended by these personally, but I could definately see some individuals and groups getting real pissy about these action figures.

worth a good laugh though in my book.

A bit off-topic...I'm always intrigued by who got stuck with .net domains, and who got the .com

In this case, strangely, Ecrush, a pseudo-matchmaker service for teenage girls, owns jesuschristsuperstore.com. Just plain weird.
