Saw a display of these in town today, they are being given away as a free gift for a minimum spend. I am wondering if they are being given away as no one would buy what looks to me like a girl with her hands tied behind her back being hanged!

Am I the only one seeing this? I think its the way the hands look to be tied and the head is lolling to one side!

Not the only one, that's so creepy! No wonder people won't buy them lol.

SunniCameHomeWithAVengeance · 17/10/2020 19:35

It's not a well thought out design so I agree, they are giving them away because they couldn't sell them.

OohKittens · 17/10/2020 19:35

That's not nice it made me go cold.

Sparklesocks · 17/10/2020 19:35

Oh no the ‘Wayfair are trafficking children’ stuff isn’t back is it?? Confused

Sparklesocks · 17/10/2020 19:36

(Kidding just fyi Wink)

userxx · 17/10/2020 19:37

Might get a few for the Christmas tree 😳

WhatWouldTheNeighboursSay · 17/10/2020 19:37

Certainly an unfortunate hanging loop placement!
She is hiding a bunch of flowers behind her back, her hands aren't tied.

Not to my personal taste, so I wouldn't buy it

user1471546851 · 17/10/2020 19:38

I love the name "hanging figure"..
They have the description bang on Grin

justanotherneighinparadise · 17/10/2020 19:39

Just remove the top hook and string and it’s fine as an ornament.

FourTeaFallOut · 17/10/2020 19:39

I might put it on the tree as a warning not to snaffle all the tree chocolates when my back is turned

AlCalavicci · 17/10/2020 19:40

Verry odd design and expensive too , £20 for one ? if you were going to buy them I think you would need 6 to make the tree look balanced so £120 for a girl to be hung on your tree for a few weeks , no thanks !

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/10/2020 19:40

She is hiding a bunch of flowers behind her back, her hands aren't tied.

I know but it really looks, from the right angle, like they are! I agree that it would be ok as an ornament if you like that sort of thing, its the string that makes it creepy AF!

Definitely looks as you describe! It’s hardly a festive style of decoration anyway, I like a 70s style tree with gaudy baubles, rainbow lights and lametta

FourTeaFallOut · 17/10/2020 19:43

Oh look, here's Break Neck Lady from the Hill House

It’s very creepy.

Rockett St George have a similar thing...

Omg! I didn't read your opening post just clicked on the link and immediately saw someone hanging...I might have got sensitive with age but that ornament is just disturbing.

You are not the only one OP!

LyndaSnellsSniff...(loving the name)

That's just not right...how could someone not see that before allowing it to go into production.

GlitteryUnicornSparkles · 17/10/2020 20:47

Her hands aren’t tied shes holding flowers.

WhatWouldTheNeighboursSay · 17/10/2020 20:57

I'll be honest, I don't "get" the Willow tree look to begin with.They are creepy, even without the hanging bit

That light is either really awful or really amazing.
I can't quite decide Grin

AibuTellMe · 17/10/2020 22:12

YANBU they are creepy

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/10/2020 22:26

@GlitteryUnicornSparkles

Her hands aren’t tied shes holding flowers.
Again.....I know, but they look like they are
