At an afternoon press-conference Danish toy giants Lego today announced a sacrilegious new range of its building blocks, scenes from the Bible. On this most holy Friday, representatives of the company showed a number of the new sets, as well as showing further scenes on a video screen.
A little Lego Jesus was the first toy shown. At first it appeared to be an ordinary Lego man, wearing all white, but once the head was removed to add the beard, and the long locks were added to the top, it truly begun to look like the Son of God. Also, in a first for Lego men, the arms are much more flexible, with ball joints in the shoulders. This is to enable Lego Jesus to fit onto the cross in his most well known pose. Whilst the crucifixes themselves consist of only two long brown pieces of Lego, there is an additional hole of Jesus back with which he can be attached. Lego Jesus’ hands also differ from those of an ordinary Lego man – rather than being able to hold small items as if his hand wraps around them, Jesus has flat hands with holes right through. In the pack come a number of accessories associated with this hole, including nails to look as though he’s held on the cross, bottles of wine and cups and a basket of bread, for sharing.
Two further Jesus play-sets were also on display, the birth, and the rebirth. The birth scene features a tiny baby Jesus, complete with beard and flowing locks, cattle shed, Mary and Joseph, a number of animals, and a tiny crib. In addition to this, shepherds and wise men are also available, but were not on display. The rebirth is a somewhat simple set, and priced accordingly, consisting only of a cave, a boulder coving it, and another Jesus. This Jesus differs again from the others. Whilst beard and locks are still included, and he’s again dressed all in white, he’s glow in the dark!
Other sets on display included an extravagant Noah’s ark, complete with two of every animal conceivable, a David and Goliath battle-set and Abraham’s sacrificial alter. On the video-screen sets were shown that featured Jonah and the whale, Baby Moses in the bulrushes, and big Moses gather Commandments from the mountain.
To finish the conference the Danish officials announced that this was just the beginning. In the future we can expect both Heaven and Hell to be available in Lego form, and further down the line play-sets based on the Hindu Gods.
Whilst nobody from the religious community was available for comment, no doubt too busy eating hot-cross buns, it's possible this could cause quite a stir.

Lol!
The best bit would be when the kid's mixed the sets with their collections and started to mix 'n match.
Just think...
Jesus the spaceman, with a space helmet over the top.
Jesus on the Jolly Rodger, complete with a pirate's hat.
And, with some of the new sets, Jesus the Jedi...
The possibilites are endless!
:-D

Don't tell me the Bible predicted itself in Lego set form!?
It's a sign of the times.
Ha Ha. Nice post Meka.
