For the first time, the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart will sell a line of religious toys, according to a WKMG-TV report.
More than 420 Wal-Mart stores nationwide will begin carrying the faith-based toys that include Jesus and Samson action figures.
Only about one-sixth of stores will carry the toys.
A Wal-Mart representative told USA Today that stores that sell a lot of Bibles will carry the new line.
The toys are produced by One2believe.
The company targets parents who would rather their children play with the faith-based toys rather toys rather than other super hero action figures, the report said.
The items will likely go on sale early next month.
