Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this - thought someone was auctioning off their baby!

there are loads of them, apparantly they are 'collectors' items. Make my skin crawl, I find the descriptions for the dolls rather creepy too.....

Newbarnsleygirl · 01/05/2005 22:03

Thats too scary!

That could be a real baby

they are very weird, i have seen them before but only on ebay...very strange lol

colditz · 01/05/2005 22:07

I could not have a doll like that in my house, and certainly couldn't let my child play with it. I don't even think I could leave it upstairs on its own!

It looks far too real, far far too real!

whymummy · 01/05/2005 22:07

he's got real eyes from the USA!!!!
LOL

Do ou think you could buy one, then claim 12 months maternity leave from work??
(worth thinking about....)

Eeewwwwwwww

I clicked on her feedback score to see if she'd sold anymore and the last one went for £122. It's called Jessica and has it's eyes closed but looks even more realistic than William.

gingerbear · 01/05/2005 22:13

Who buys them??

juniperdewdrop · 01/05/2005 22:13

Norty

You give it a go first and I'll follow pmsl

lilsmum · 01/05/2005 22:14

SS..have you seen the price so far on that one? !! why would you want one of them?

Hulababy · 01/05/2005 22:17

This picture of William is so scary and real.

They sell for hundreds of pounds all the time. They make me shudder.

juniperdewdrop · 01/05/2005 22:18

OMG jenna rose looks toooooo real

juniperdewdrop · 01/05/2005 22:19

how do they make them?? I've never seen anything like it?

MarsLady · 01/05/2005 23:17

so tortoiseshell, will you be bidding?

jodee · 01/05/2005 23:34

jenna rose has a 'beating heart'! Much, much too lifelike.

rogan2001 · 01/05/2005 23:43

OMG these dolls are so creepy, reminds me of that old film with the waxworks.

juniperdewdrop · 02/05/2005 00:02

I'm off to bed now to have nightmares

Satine · 02/05/2005 08:14

Do you think they're bought by poor desperate people instead of real babies? So disturbing...

Mud · 02/05/2005 08:23

ewwwwwwww jenna rose is now at $330 and jenna rose cannot be held by people with pacemakers fitted because of the strong magnets PMSL I find that incredibly freaky

misdee · 02/05/2005 08:29

i know of someone who has one. she bought it after her baby was still born. apparently it looks like her baby did. she keeps it in her bedroom in its own moses basket.
