If those dolls are strong sellers, Queen Esther, Daniel &#8211; and possibly Jesus &#8211; could be produced next, Foote said, although another company already sells a Jesus bobblehead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"articles\">&#8220;We want to create a hunger to go to God&#8217;s word to learn more about these people,&#8221; said Foote, a 43-year-old Christian cartoonist. <\/p>\n<p class=\"articles\">&#8220;God works in strange and mysterious ways, and we want to be a part of this strange and mysterious way.&#8221; <br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/stories\/2003\/06\/24\/national\/main560173.shtml\">Full Story<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p class=\"post\">I think that the Virgin Mary would be appropriate as a Bobblehead.  After all she was the only person to continually say yes to god.  Most of us are wobble (east-west direction as in no) heads with an occasional bobble (yes) to God.  I can imagine a child asking their mother after seeing one of these dolls in a car window, &#8220;Who is that mommy?&#8221;, &#8220;Why that is Noah&#8221;.  &#8220;Then why does he keep shaking his head like Yes-a?&#8221;  I wonder if the Samson character has long hair, if he does then he would probably look someone from Headbanger&#8217;s Ball on MTV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan Foote wants to make biblical figures as popular as professional athletes.
