This is one of the creepiest things I've ever seen. Realistic, anatomically correct baby dolls that sell for over $100. I don't quite understand what their purpose is, why they are collectibles, or why anybody would pay so much for one. I mean, what about just having a real baby?
"Exclusive Personalizable Newborn Baby Doll Collection! YOU PICK THE NAME for Each Adorable Collectible Lifelike Doll!"
At the same time, maybe this is better than having people reproduce.
The descriptions of these dolls are hilarious.
Look what this little girl has learned to do, all by herself! Your heart will melt when you see how this collectible lifelike baby girl doll balances her bottle in not just her little hands, but her feet as well!

What a clever little mold of vinyl!
"Charlie" here goes for $150.
When you first meet "Charlie," dreaming away in his soft blue knitted outfit, you won't be able to resist cuddling him close. But get set for a real surprise when you go to change his diaper! "Charlie" is the very first anatomically correct So Truly Real™ collectible vinyl doll! Sculpted by Master Doll Artist Linda Webb, "Charlie" is so special that he's been nominated for both the 2005 Dolls Awards for Excellence and the 2005 DOTY Award!
"Charlie's" perfect, little-boy body is handcrafted entirely of RealTouch™ vinyl skin, capturing every tiny wrinkle and crease, even his adorable "outtie" belly button!

Um. Why would anyone change the diaper of a fake baby? A fake baby that doesn't poop? Furthermore, why are there doll awards?
It gets creepier.

I'm glad this monkey baby is crafted with gentle, trusting eyes. I'm so sick of gazing at dolls who glare at me with putrid hate.
I don't understand the human race sometimes.

ReplyDeleteuh.
i beg to differ.
what really frightens me about these is the huge probability that deranged freakshows with bizarre kiddie fetishes will buy these and go wild.
then again...better than the real thing, i guess?
auughhh. :|
