Almighty Heroes!

The following is a news article I ran across...

The creator of a toy many Baby Boomers played with has created a new toy for Boomers to give to their grandkids.

The "St. Petersburg Times" reports 78-year-old Don Levine the inventor of the 12-inch G.I. Joe Action figure, who left Hasbro in 1975, is launching a new line of action figures called the "Almighty Heroes" based on biblical figures like Moses, Noah and Queen Esther.

The pose-able Old Testament figure comes with accessories and a comic book that explains the characters exploits. Levine said, "The idea is to teach children exactly what the Bible talks about, and the strength of what it is."

The "Almighty Heroes" can be ordered online at www.FamilyValuesCenter.com

As a kid...I had many action figures, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, He-Man, and more. So...obviously I couldn't pass up taking a look at these new found "Almighty Heroes". Boy was I surprised...Take a look...



(By the way...the one on the left is Moses...the one on the right is David, from David and Goliath.)

Not what you expected I bet. Not what I pictured when I first heard about them. Oh well...if it brings kids closer to biblical stories, by all means, "Almight Heroes Away!"
