What in the fresh hell is this? An old man doll

[hoomans]

I made the mistake of entering the reborn world on eBay as my niece is desperate for a reborn doll for Christmas but wtf? This is worse than the Facebook selling pages 😲😵

WTF.

Who buys them, especially as they are not cheap, so not a joke present (although would be bad taste joke)

I appreciate the artistry.
I like the animal hybrid ones- not keen on the old man ones.

I actually bought this one, but after she murdered most of my family I had to return to the seller for a refund.

By the look on her face this one comes with her own trapped wind!

Something about these things feels really off — beyond the aesthetic weirdness — and I can’t put my finger on what.

I agree with that. It's very wrong. It seems like the product of a very mentally ill mind.

I'm not sure what's scarier the faces or the price? 😂

Jesus.

Who wakes up and thinks “ooh I know, I’ll make an old man zombie baby today”

And then who buys it???

@Dita73

If someone put one of those in my house it’s a fair assumption that I would soil myself

It’s the uncanny valley. They look like humans...but not quite.

They are awful but brilliant.

Oh my life
I bought my kids a Crap Taxidermy calendar once. I thought it was funny but it gave them nightmares.
This is actually worse.
This kind of shit makes me scared to leave the house.

I know what you mean though. Lots of babies are not as cute and attractive as conventional dolls make them seem. Is this for more realistic folk who are happy to love less than perfect baby dolls or is it a strange form of mockery? Although clearly the zombie old man baby falls well outside that remit. I want one but I also don’t!

I feel like it's the juxtaposition between a clearly sick/diseased very old human with the features of a baby which is meant to be new and innocent. Or something.

@Threewheeler1 that made me howl 😂😂😂

@Mariell 🤣🤣

The baby zombie, old man et al are fecking weird.

She actually looks more pleasant than most of them, just shows that looks can be deceiving 🔨

What do people DO with them?! Just pop them in a pram & take them out to scare the shit out of unsuspecting strangers?

It's making me think of Joy from Psychoville.

I really wish I hadn’t looked! Hate a lot of dolls anyway but some of the reborn ones are the stuff of nightmares!

Can you imagine meeting someone with a pram and looking into it to comment on their lovely baby and see one of these dolls!

‘please give me a home’ sounds rather desperate. I’m imagining it sitting in the corner of someone’s back bedroom with a towel over it... ‘look it’s going to come alive and murder us all in our sleep - it’s got to go!’

Halloween is coming up people
