Statue of Lord Ram from Virgin Comics

Lookie wat I found😃

Do you think this is blasphemous or offensive? That a western comic company has made an action figure of Shri Ram. Are we opening the door to exploiting our beloved Ramayan. Can you imagine in a few years if Disney makes Ramayan and they start to give out Ram and Ravan figurines with your Happy Meal😕

While we ponder that, ...I just ordered my Ram Statue from Virgin Comics😳. If it looks as good as in this pic, I promise that when it does finally arrive, I'll take pics of it and post it up here

Statue of Lord Ram from Virgin Comics

I hope that from these comics, children do not consider Ram as simply some action hero. They should also know how good character Ram had.

THEY hv given a sort of HE-MAN lok to lord rama & his hair are short ,without crown he is in his princely get up & the royal costume ha sgot a bit western designs like in chineese action movies types also the design of bow is different types.

the statue is looking very different types ,RAMA not looking like an INDIAN GOD !!

thanks for the info !!!!

^True, he looks really unreal. All the ram statues and show actors I have seen are believable this one doesn't seem like it.

on teh positive side:may be this will help us to reach out to more people about ramayan? 😛

I agree Tan😉

The other day I realised my 3 yr old nephew is crazy about superman. He has the full uniform, Superman t shirts, pants (even under-pants!) shoes, 2 superman action figures, a towel, and bedding!!! He repeatedly sees all the superman movies too..... I felt that he's so brainwashed by merchandising and wondered that if our "Hindu superheroes" were merchandised just as aggressively, maybe it will attract the young generation. I obviously wouldnt go as far as ramayan shorts and sandals... but I mean more culturally sensitive merchandising. Our special effects and the visual impact of a Ramayan serial cant compare with the technically superb Spidermans and Supermans. So I support ventures like Virgin Comics - they're trying to make Hindu Characters cool... and sooner or later people wil look beyond the "cool" and see the spiritual richness. The Hare Krishna Movement also sarted like this - with Hippies being attracted to the cool alternate exotic elements - but now we have a worldwide movement of some dedicated Vaishnavs!

I agree, I think it's a good thing, will expose more people to Ramayan, just hope they don't start putting them in Happy Meals 🤢

i think now kid will start reading about ramayan thx aalochak
