Top 13 Biblical Characters I'd like to see in Future Biblical Adventures figures

 My Jesus figures have arrived and the reviews will be released for the Advent Calendar, because on Christsmas it's his birthday.

Since D13 makes the Biblical Adventures toys, I guess 13 figures is an appropriate number...

Some of the paintings I'll use as reference come from the HUGE Bible my late grandpa had.
It was the Spanish Language version of this Bible. (Grandparents were Presbyterian) Other choices were from Popular culture, more informal, but could be considered in some cases sacrilegious. While I may have some issues with certain aspects of Christianity; having an irreverent behavior, including being self-deprecating, I'm not trying to be offensive here.
While, yes, my humor might slip out during the list, the list is a serious one. The focus on the list will be tributes to art and the narrative.


13- Titian's Adam and Eve:
These are a two pack and HAVE to be one.
I chose Titian over the Ninja Turtle because Titian's Eve is the prettiest Eve I found.

12- Samson: 
Here I am beyond torn:
I like Bloch's painting of Samson and the Philistines. Milani's Samson Slaying the Philistines (with the assjaw) is pretty cool, but Samson and Delilah but il Guercino is another of my favorites. Mainly because it shows a vulnerable Samson sleeping while Delilah chops off his hair. Asstards will probably say that I like it because Delilah is showing her breasts in it. While I prefer this from an artistic and storytelling perspective. Bloch's painting has Toyetic potential... but the clear winner is Milani's also to kick ass with an assjaw...

11- Satan: As seen in Doré's Temptation of Jesus:
It's a Cool Looking Satan that can be paired up with Jesus... but no one would take this list seriously if I asked for a Jesus arm wrestling Satan. That arm wrestlong Pic may be considered tacky by traditionalist standards, but I like it.

10- Willem Dafoe:
You know, he was something of a Messiah, himself. PETER is a disciple and Jesus is Norman Osborn... Of course Bully Maguire would appear on this theoretical rant.

9- Jesus, as made by Michelangelo:
No, I'm not talking about La Pietà. Il Giudizio Universale is where I am looking at. You know the Jesus that looks like a MOTU character, but as effeminate as a JoJo character.

8- Cain Killing Abel by Novelli: 
I know 2-packs are kinda cheating. In this case We need both Cain and Abel.

7- Mel Brooks as Moses:
The Previous Moses has a Charlton Heston head. So my plans of asking for that have been shot. So I chose Mel Brooks mainly because it's Mel Brooks. I know it's a controversial choice because Mel Brooks played Moses as a parody of the ten commandments.

6- The Three Wisemen:
Kinda cheating again, since this is a 3 figure request. This request has an ulterior motive being a Latino and knowing that it would be unlikely to get Los 3 Reyes Magos in the Naughty or Nice Line.

5- The Incredulity of Saint Thomas:
Based on Caravaggio's painting, we'd be getting a Doubting Thomas. I don't think any further explanation is needed.

4- Jesus Cleansing the Temple: 
The most Badass Jesus Painting where Jesus is whipping the temple and removing the merchants. I'm thinking of the Bloch painting.

3-  Madonna Litta:
Yes, this is the painting of Mary and Jesus based on Leomardo DaVinci art. While Personally, I'd rather have Michelangelo's Mary from La Pietà, as a marble Statue, she would look out of place surrounded by colored figures. So, I chose Leonardo, since he was the other Renaissance Artist that inspired the Ninja Turtles that I knew had painted Mary. I COULD have chosen Raphael's Madona del Belvedere, but Raphael is my least favorite Turtle and  I'm surprised I haven't reacted to never-ending, roll the clip.

2- Jesus Raising Lazarus:
Based on the Rembrandt painting, this would be a two pack of Jesus and Lazarus. 
Yes, if a review of this two pack ever got made, you know the reference.


1- The Big Guy himself: (Creation of Man)
This would be a figure of the Creator himself. If made it would be a deluxe item with the bunch of angels hiding on his cap being part of a 3D base/flight stand. I had the idea around item 11, but Can't have other figures before Him.


I had to stick to mostly mainstream figures that could be Toyetic, because Noah is useless without the Ark, Lot would be a 4 pack, him, his daughters, and his salty wife. Job isn't exactly toyetic, and Jonah needs a big fish that may be a whale, Daniel needs Lions
