Marines change course, will take Jesus dolls: Toy company inundated with requests
A 12-inch talking Jesus doll may find its way to needy children this Christmas after the U.S. Marines’ Toys for Tots Christmas toy drive reversed course in mid-November and decided to accept the dolls.
The Toys for Tots Foundation had initially declined a donation of 4,000 Jesus dolls from the Valencia, California–based Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Company, saying they could be inappropriate for non-Christian children.
