Send in the St. Bernard to rescue me amidst this plastic avalanche lately.

Best I can do is send in a St. Bernard action figure.

 

[TENIME]

Yes, I will take a 1:12 St. Bernard made by the Classified team. Thank you.

I love St. Bernards. They are my favorite type of dog.

I attended St. Bernard's school from kindergarten through senior year.

I would certainly take a St. Bernard action figure. I'm mostly thinking the dog, but I may find a use for the saint as well.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

I own a St Bernard mix. Absolutely wonderful dog!

I think there's a couple companies making religious action figures right now...

Which seems sacrilegious. That is, if my understanding of the commandment "Thou shall not worship false gods" is accurate.

Actually, a line of patron saints actually seems like it could be fun.

St Bernard - patron saint of hikers/skiers/mountaineers - somewhere between Snow Job and Alpine, lots of rappelling gear
St Christopher - patron saint of travelers - maybe some Da Vinci style wings, backpacks and satchels
St Anthony - patron saint of lost items - crammed with second hand clothes and artifacts
St Francis of Assisi - patron saint of animals - obviously plenty of animal companions that can be perched on him, one to ride

 

[TFitz]

St Fitz - patron saint of occasional b.s. - rock star body with a slew of micro action figures

 

[TENIME]

Oh, crap! Hey, @Buttmunch, I need another Cold Slither figure so I can make a custom TFitz!

I don't have any religious action figures but I'm going to go ahead and say it's OK. If you're not putting it before God himself you're all good.

I say this because I once saw a priest at a flea market buying a KO Lego set of a church and altar.

 

[PanchaMaestro]

Barks bringing the heat or in this case the cold.

 

[TENIME]

That's kind of amazing.

"Father, you're wanted in the confessional."
"Not right now, I'm almost done with my Lego set!"

Not to get too into the weeds of religious history, but most Christians are perfectly okay with using imagery and physical representations of religious figures in their worship. The distinction they make with the false idol thing is whether the object itself is believed to have any inherent power or be the object of worship vs just being an icon that helps the devotee's thoughts focus on God or a certain saint or whatever.

Aheheheheh there’s tons of merchandise for the Catholic saint who shares my first name (allegedly), and any action figure of said saint would almost certainly come with animal accessories commemorating what this saint is most famous for but in real life could never ever ever have done because those animals literally never existed in the place this saint famously dealt with them.
