Cabbage Patch creator Xavier Roberts has created some celebrity versions of his dolls, which people can bid on at eBay (the money raised goes to the Children’s Action Network). The only problem is: they're kind of scarier than clowns. Or ghosts. Or the movie Poltergeist.* And just like in that movie, your parents are going to be too high on marijuana to help you when this thing goes in for the attack. Which it will.
Nightmare Fuel: This Al Roker Cabbage Patch Doll Is Real
Breast Milk Baby Dolls May Soon Be In Stores
Have you been wondering what to get that little girl who has graduated from her baby bikini or (faux) high heels? And maybe she's just too young—like maybe she's 6— for a padded bra or virgin bikini wax? Well, don't sweat: The makers of the Breast Milk Baby Doll are committed to making sure as many people as possible can buy their doll, which offers kids the experience of breastfeeding with the help of a doll and a "special flowered halter top which activates the dolls suckling mechanism."
American Girl Introduces Homeless Doll!
American Girl, purveyors of fine, historically accurate dolls, are introducing a homeless girl. "Gwen Thompson" comes with a book with the story of how her father left, her mother lost her job, and they started living in a car. To top it off, customers are "dissapointed [sic] in her bangs, they are awful short and you can't do anything with them." And they discontinued Samantha for this?
Breastfeeding Doll For Junior Lactivists
Hey kids, you can get kicked out of the library and IKEA now too! Meet Bebe Gloton, which translates to Greedy Baby, or more accurately: Creepy Breastfeeding Baby Doll. A Spanish toy company created the toy, which comes with a bra-like halter top featuring flowers where the milk would come from. Allegedly it's "latched on to the petals, where it emits a suckling sound, before it has to be burped to stop it from crying" (as demonstrated in this video). The View ladies discussed the controversial doll, which is currently only sold in Spain, and Elizabeth Hasselbeck admitted that her daughter imitated her breastfeeding. The creator said that they realized girls were, in fact, imitating the action, and the doll garnered a positive reaction amongst them; "Their faces of happiness said it all." Well, breastfeeding is linked to lowering cancer risks. And the world awaits the Park Slope Parents message board thread...
Look Out NYC, Chucky's Back
Perhaps more nightmare-worthy than clowns taking over, this past Monday the city was infiltrated by Chucky dolls! The terrifying Child's Play character multiplied and terrorized tourists and locals alike, all in celebration of the movie's 20th anniversary DVD release. His antics seemed to be centered around Times Square (hopefully far away from the Toys Я Us). Did you see any of these tiny terrors around? Looks like he even made it to Fashion Week, albeit wearing that same, tired old pair of overalls. So 1988. [via /Film]
