Christian action figures!
Guess which one this is. Samson? King David? Pontius Pilate? No, it's Moses! Yes that's right, Moses, looking 25 years old and armed with a sword. I don't know why they just didn't go all the way and give him a machine gun and camouflage.
On a more serious note, it's kind of telling the way in which the male and female figures are portrayed differently. All of the male figures, including Moses and Noah, are muscle-bound hunks armed with weapons. The female figures on the other hand are cute little delicate things dressed up like a Barbie doll, and of course they're unarmed. Even Deborah the Warrior is unarmed. I think that says a lot about the right-wing Christian view of gender equality.
