Mini missionaries, Fisher-Price style. Yes, they're for real. You can include them in the Noah's ark Fisher-Price set! Or they can go to the zoo, or visit the farm...

they "help children learn the importance of missionary work." How's that? Do they come with a copy of Preach My Gospel?

Yeah, I know. Kind of a stretch, there. Also, what possible use would they be for missionaries? (One of the gift suggestions is to send them to missionaries.)

They are cute, but only Mormons would think to send them to missionaries themselves.

CREEPY!
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Now see, I was a missionary, and I still agree with Entropy; those things are creepy.

Even having lived in Japan, and seen that stuff every day, that site cracks me up.  Though I think this is like the 10th time it's poped up in out of these threads.

One that I can't help but laugh at is when the Japanese spell "hello" "Herro".
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

FirstMateJack, those aren't really action figure so I think you are still free to make the Elder aciton figures. Also, I doubt Fisherprice would be able to sue you for making mission characters becayse their idea is probably to generic to be copyrighted. However, the market might be saturated by the time you get your action-figures out.

Having once worked in such a corporate environment... I can only hope this story is completely true.
