Shown is the new ‘Almighty Heroes’ 3 character action figure with ‘Almighty Heroes’ storybook. This biblically based line of action figures was started by the creator of the original G.I. Joe, Don Levine.This time, instead of a series of military-themed action figures, toy mogul Don Levine has begun selling a series of Bible-based action figures depicting champions from the Old Testament.
The action figure creator hopes that the unique series of Almighty Heroes will inspire children to take a deeper look into scripture.
“It is my desire that these inspirational action figures and fashion dolls create excitement for kids,” explained Levine, in a statement, “and develop their interest in the characters and messages of the Bible.”
The new series of toys was launched this month and include biblical figures such as Samson, David, Noah and Moses. For girls, there are fashion dolls based off women such as Queen Esther and Deborah the Warrior.
Besides the figures themselves, the toys also come with their own Bible storybook. Levine, who is Jewish, hopes that children can learn about the same heroes that he did as he grew up.
“The battle of Good versus Evil is what makes these characters stand out,” added the toy tycoon known to some as “the father of G.I. Joe.”
G.I. Joe also remains one of the most recognizable toy brands within American history and has often represented the boy toy industry.
