BUDDHA: HE'S NOT JUST A DEITY ANYMORE

Sideshow Collectibles' Elektra statueNope, he's now a "detailed base [which] includes the Elektra logo". Pon Yi, a reader over at Monkey Peaches is annoyed that Marvel is allowing the folks at Sideshow Collectibles to sell this geeky collectible statue of box office poison ninja, Elektra, that shows her standing on top of Buddha.

"How would you feel if you were Christian and I were to create a Jesus statue figure and step on his head like that?" he argues.

Well, assuming they were Christian, that would probably drive them bananas.

"Better yet, what if I were to create a statue of your parent of loved one showing someone stepping on their head like that?"

Sorry, Pon Yi, but if they thought they could make money off it they would feel something like this: "Can we rush it into production immediately?"

Or, what if they made a collectible figure of Jesus and showed him standing on the head of Buddha? But standing on top of his head was a ninja? And inside the ninja was a little robot monkey? And inside the little monkey's heart was a love for the Buddha? Now who's the winner?
