Christianity + Capitalism + Technology = U.S. Patent 5,456,625

Dolls formed in the likeness of the Lord Jesus with a movable head and extremities

A doll formed in the likeness of the Lord Jesus with a movable head and extremities comprised of a torso section including a loin cloth molded into its lower portion and a pair of movable leg sections. The lower ends of the leg sections have a pair of feet sections secured thereto. A pair of arm sections are secured to the torso section. A pair of hand sections are secured to the lower ends of the arm sections. A head section is secured to the upper end of the torso section. The doll is provided with electrically conductive nails which when inserted through apertures in the hands of the doll, mount the doll to a provided cross and close an electrical circuit which illuminates the cross.

And yes, the patent application discloses the doll's accessories: a thorny crown, a robe, slippers, and a miniature bible. I suppose the Jesus doll would heal the wounds of a child's other G.I. Joe dolls, and cast seven demons out of afflicted Barbies.
