This was probably my son’s favorite christmas gift one year, he was 3 at the time. He loves rescue heroes, and these are comparable in size, not in weight or quality, but they can take a beating nonetheless. The paint job on these things is also pretty funny. My husband asked why Moses was wearing lipstick, but my son doesn’t care about the historically inaccurate outfits or lipshade so these get a two thumbs up. The book that comes with the set is just okay. I would recommend reading from a children’s bible instead.

Moses figure is portrayed as young, and I would prefer he carry tablets and his staff instead of a sword and shield, with Egyptian headdress and armor.
Samson is great, perfect for this set, he has a sword and weapon, as he should. David figure has a sling, and the age looks right. But he is wearing a skintight purple superhero outfit. I think the look of his probable historic clothes would still have been “cool” looking. There is a whole line of “Almighty Heroes” action figures. I think it is a really good thing to have Old Testament Biblical themed toys to buy, the Bible has so many compelling stories that are full of… well, action! It is a tough call for any company to make them, as it is hard to please everyone including me. A company may feel pressured to compete with other popular toy lines, like Rescue Heroes. That is not entirely their fault, as a lot of kids love those toys. So this makes the temptation to make the toys into big muscular young characters, and for some Biblical characters that is OK. I will address those in a minute. But all of these characters were not known for being muscular, or young. The other figures from this company sold separately are:
Noah figure is a very young man, but Noah was the father of 4 grown men at the time of the flood. He does come with a staff and a lamb. Maybe it should be 2 lambs.
Goliath is perfect, bigger than David and dressed for the part. He has a sword, helmet and shield, as he should.
Daniel is muscular and young, OK. Get the version that comes with a lion. But he has a sword and a spear, which is out of character to me. God saved Daniel, not a sword. The figures need accessories so I am sure that is why they are included. Maybe a staff would have been better.
Jonah figure is good, get the one that has the boat and whale, but the whale is not very sturdy..
Other figures to consider for this line would be Joshua, or Gideon, both had to be warriors. Elisha and Elijah? They do have dolls for girls too, Esther and Deborah that I know of. So in the end, just like most Bible based movies and animated shows take liberties with a story to make it more entertaining, the toy company has the same issue. Hopefully they or another company adjust the toys to be a bit more authentic, but they deserve big points for making them at all. Each toy comes with a small Bible booklet as well. The toys are well made and will last with rough play. My advice is to stick to the models that make more sense to you as a parent, so they see that THOSE models are selling better, and hope the company, or other companies, will shift to that in future editions.
