I'm not really sure I know of any "blasphemous" toys made available here in America.
But I will say that I'm not so testy as other Christian parents.
I recall once when working in a children's nursery at a new church someone dropped off a small bag of toys for the nursery.
I looked inside to see what goodies there were and left it at that.
When the lady who actually ran the thing came in I told her about the bag. She asked if I looked inside, and I said yeah, not thinking anything about it.
She gave me a nervous look and asked what was inside.
I said, "Oh just some Disney stuff and a view finder."
I might as well have said, porn mags and sex toys!
She grabbed the bag and through it in the trash!
I didn't go to that church much after that...

None, it's a toy.
Just like I don't believe books are or movies.
I don't see how an inanimate object can be blasphemous. Since blasphemy is a choice and the last time I checked inanimate objects were incapable of making choices.
Oh, and yes, I am a Christian.

On the way to work this morning, one radio disc jockey commented upon Toys for Tots rejecting talking Jesus dolls. He wondered if disadvantaged kids would welcome hearing a platitude like “I’m praying for you,” emanating from a Jesus doll. I have to agree with him but for a different reason.
The toy Jesus in question is manufactured by Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Co. The doll quotes Scripture like “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.”
Regardless of correctly quoting Scripture, manufacturing God incarnate into dolls shows irreverence towards our Savior. Further, as Father Richard Neuhaus writes, it shows “an anemic spirituality that too often passes as the gospel."
Yet there is quite an industry out there for Jesus dolls.
One website sends a scarf along with its cuddly version of Jesus which reads:
"I am your very own My Sweet Jesus doll. I am here whenever you need me. If you need comfort, give me a hug! And even if you sometimes forget me, I promise I won't ever forget you."
Another website offers a $25.00 Baby Jesus Doll which says, “I don’t talk, I just listen," or “I love you, please love me…My name is Jesus.”
The ToyPresidents website urges us to get our “authentic” Time Capsule Toys” Jesus talking action figure, for only $29.95. One of the dolls sayings is: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
Finally, Toys 4 Minds offers a Holy Folks Jesus Doll which they say is a beautiful high-quality, huggable and loveable 16 inch doll.
And so on . . .

Little Satan and Friends, new from Hasbro.
Are you serious? Blasphemous toys? They're just toys.

I have not heard of a blasphemous toy. I don't have a clue.

Those anatomically correct "Billy" dolls might qualify as blasphemous.

Male dolls--the ones that go with Barbie and her friends. If you take their pants off, you can see that they have been castrated--who knows why Ken wants to hang around with Barbie--he's a eunich.

The slutty BRATZ dolls, Bling Bling Barbie, and the like... We allow our girls to play with them and wonder why they end up pregnant at 16...
