Not for me. Shock HOW MUCH MONEY???? Shock

Flossam · 08/03/2006 23:16

Oh no, these things are grim. They have them in a shop near me and they make my stomach turn! Yuck!

fastasleep · 08/03/2006 23:16

My naaaame noooo

sheepgomeep · 08/03/2006 23:17

[shudder] That's so horrible.

It's very cleverly done and very very lifelike but there is absolutely no way I would put that in my house.

very weird..

Tanzie · 08/03/2006 23:18

Yes very creepy. I saw a similar one in an American magazine that "breathed realistically" as well.

Ugh.

OMG

  1. the 2nd pic looks like Michael Winner
  2. she says it's filled with baby fat and fleece - er, wot?
  3. comes with a birth certificate and spare pampers?

I do find this whole thing utterly utterly disturbing.

Skribble · 08/03/2006 23:19

OK I am officialy freaked out!!!!! and how much Shock

brimfull · 08/03/2006 23:19

That is the creepiest thing I've seen for a while.

She could have atleast had a smile on her face!

What are you supposed to do with it.Great for practical jokes though.

RTKangaMummy · 08/03/2006 23:19

Don't like that at all

Weird IMHO

QE2 · 08/03/2006 23:19

What are they - an ornament or doll or what? very lifelike but don't see the purpose of them - or did I miss something?

Who buys these? Obviously someone wants one a great deal, but who?

they are immensely skillful but.... I wouldn't touch one.

SuperTramp · 08/03/2006 23:23

I wonder who would want one. Very creepy indeed.

WideWebWitch · 08/03/2006 23:24

These are weird and ewwwwww. What kind of sad fk would want one fgs?

soapbox · 08/03/2006 23:24

It is horrific - I've often wondered what they are for - paedophilia perhaps - easier than using a real child to sell porn on the WWW???

Whatever, still Yuck! Yuck anyway!!!!

WellieMum · 08/03/2006 23:25

If you have your own baby, why would you want a fake one?

If you don't have your own baby, why would you want a fake one?

Errrrghhh.

Pruni · 08/03/2006 23:25

Well, if you hadn't for whatever reason been able to have children despite a desperate longing...or you'd lost your only child.
And you wanted one with hair held in with waterproof glue so you could wash it...
It chokes me up a bit tbh
THere but for the grace etc

WideWebWitch · 08/03/2006 23:26

There is something really creepy about this isn't there?

WideWebWitch · 08/03/2006 23:27

But Pruni, surely however griefstricken you were a fake baby isn't really going to help?

Pruni · 08/03/2006 23:28

??
Have no experience
but life is constantly teaching me that people are weirder than I think Grin

soapbox · 08/03/2006 23:28

Pruni - I can't imagine anyone thinking a fake baby could help with their longing for a real one - surely???

colditz · 08/03/2006 23:31

My great grandmother used to collect dolls - I imagine she would have cherished something like that one.

Maybe they are all for collecters - but why make their hair washable?

fastasleep · 08/03/2006 23:32

For close ups in movies when you can't use a real baby, in advertising shots, and sadly for people who can't let go of their lost child (I knew someone with one of these)

Pruni · 08/03/2006 23:33

Can you not? I can. I really can imagine how it might help.
