OMG! Ebay "Berenguer re-born dolls"

Has anyone else seen these?

They are dolls which have been sculpted to look like newborn/young babies. They are so lifelike it's freaky.

Don't think I'd buy one. Except, maybe to represent my ds as a baby. Perhaps that's why they get bought.

yup, seen them. very tempted just to play jokes on people lol.

some are hideous tho.

MarsselectionboxLady · 14/12/2004 20:45

I have seen some in my local toyshop. They are horrible. My DD2 loves them.

misdee · 14/12/2004 20:46

the original dolls are just play things, but people re-bporn them. do a search on ebay.

spacedonkey · 14/12/2004 20:47

Gobbledigoose · 14/12/2004 20:47

Eeew, sounds yukky! Anyone got a link!?

pixiefish · 14/12/2004 20:49

did anyone see the twins in the silver cross pram that were on a few weeks ago? Or are they the same dolls?

Would love to add a link but can't get my head round the instructions - whatever I do it doesn't do a link thing on my preview.
They are truly disgusting. Look up "Precious dreams" under "Dolls" on e-bay or failing that "re-born"

spacedonkey · 14/12/2004 20:55

YA DIDN'T FOOL ME MARSLADY!!!

misdee · 14/12/2004 20:55

whats this bat thing?

morningpaper · 14/12/2004 20:56

I've been looking at what the winning bidders have bought - some of them have bought LOADS of these dolls - they are 300 quid each! Why would you keep buying them? I think it's weird. A whole roomful would be like a horror film...

MarsselectionboxLady · 14/12/2004 20:56

fool you? Oh blimey, the game. Oops. lol

spacedonkey · 14/12/2004 20:56

misdee, see the "puerile game" thread under chat for explanation of the bat thing

misdee · 14/12/2004 20:58

just did. lol.

morningpaper · 14/12/2004 20:59

EUGH I mean look at the wording on this.

Is it ME or is that just a bit creepy?

spacedonkey · 14/12/2004 21:00

Makes me shiver. Does this artist actually have children?
My Mum who works for a council helpdesk was actually phoned by one lady desperate to find "one of those dolls they give to teenagers to stop them getting pregnant" Her reason "I've never had a baby of my own". Sad

Amanda that IS depressing - that's the sort of buyer I'd imagine is after these I guess.

pixiefish · 14/12/2004 21:07

spacedonkey · 14/12/2004 21:08
