LOL dolls

Has anyone seen the videos going around with LOL dolls, I've just watched one and can't believe it.

If you put them in cold water, lingerie appears. One doll even had a devil tail tattoo on her lower back.

Why would they include this on little girl toys

Ah sorry must be the colour change ones then

Yeah, the colour change is like those Barbies (or other dolls? my memory fails me) years ago where you could put them in water and their make-up would appear.

Stuff like this makes me feel a little cray though, I see all these people going on on FB about not believing conspiracy theories, and then you see all this weird shit that is real and absolutely sounds like a conspiracy theory.

ComeOnBabyPopMyBubble · 14/08/2020 12:53

TBH it is an interesting discussion and it has it's merits. Mainly because even without the colour change the names and outfits of some of the dolls are quite inappropriate to begin with.

And some of the colour changes are definitely inappropriate and just no need. It's just not a conspiracy or something "hidden" if that makes sense.

Mydarlingsleepthief did you look at the pics? BDSM style underwear.

Motherofmonsters · 14/08/2020 13:20

Goosefoot - I sometimes think there's a middle ground somewhere better unreal and conspiracy theory. I guess there's a bit of truth somewhere and then it gets exaggerated into a full conspiracy

We have some colour change ones - not water ones but temperature ones and they don’t have this inappropriate lingerie on - they just get “gloves” or stripy tights.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 14/08/2020 14:31

I suppose most good conspiracy theories mix in a grain of truth. And then there's hyperbole, trolls and bad faith political shit stirrers.

cliffdiver · 14/08/2020 14:34

Just realised my post might need explanation - the pizza slice is a reference to "Pizzagate" which is a bizarre American conspiracy theory about child trafficking. The conspiracy theorists have created an association between pizza references and child porn.

@Kantastic there's no such thing as 'child porn'. It's indecent images of children.

DianasLasso · 14/08/2020 14:45

Good question about whether the pic was faked up with magic marker.

The link to the mix.net was the first one which came up on an internet search - but I have to say it doesn't look like the most reputable source ever. A bit Sunday Sport from the looks of it. So the pic may be a fake and all the real ones do is reveal stripy socks.

On the other hand the Hasbro troll doll does appear to have been real.

HerRoyalNotness · 14/08/2020 14:50

DD has 4, I just tested them this morning, none of them have hidden images on them. Not sure if it’s a specific style that only do it

DianasLasso · 14/08/2020 14:50

So a bit more searching... Story covered by a number of outlets.

Snopes has it as "mostly true" with the "mostly" because it's only "some" dolls and apparently the kinky BDSM-ness of the outfit is in the eyes of the beholder Hmm

Nellodee · 14/08/2020 15:21

I think they are going more for Little Mix stage outfits than BDSM orgy, to be honest.

Nellodee · 14/08/2020 15:22

Which admittedly, has a large cross over zone in terms of looks...

TorysSuckRevokeArticle50 · 14/08/2020 15:35

I've checked all of DDs and none have sexy undies or devil tails, some do change colours, their hair, freckles appear, they may change legging colours or get a one piece swimsuit but nothing overtly sexy.

It's very much advertised on the packaging that they may change colour in hot or cold water or they may spit, cry or wee when dunked. It's part of the 'surprise' in the LOL surprise.

I don't love the things, they are an environmental disaster and ugly little buggers but DD and all her friends think they're brilliant and DD will play with hers for ages, dressing them up and acting out trips away with them in her Playmobil plane or moving them around her dolls house.

Mumoblue · 14/08/2020 15:40

I always thought they were a bit "ugh". They look like weird, tarted-up babies.
This is kinda icky.

This was in that twitter thread

A SEX 1-888 NUMBER ON A CHILDRENS TOY!!!

With a video of a mum (?) calling a number on a child’s toy and it going to a sex line.

Is this also suspect? Or maybe a made up number was a actually a real number in error?

A later response to this one said

“Maybe I’m late to the game, but when I called that number, the message in the video isn’t the same. Maybe they changed the # after this video went viral?“

It’s so hard to know what’s fake news, and whats real, and the speculation wastes time and will make us doubt a real story when it hits - bit like the boy who cried wolf - but maybe that’s the point.

Blimey I’m too tired for double dealing tin foil hat theories.

Oh God.

The pizza symbol is a known paedophile symbol.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 14/08/2020 16:31

Different dolls do different things ThisMustBeMyDream so it’s not marker just there is one set that has underwear showing after being dipped in water, others pee or spit. I asked DD to show me the instructions to her one doll and she noticed that it’s not all dolls.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 14/08/2020 16:35

“Your LOL doll changes color in warm or cold water.

Starting in Series 3 Confetti Pop, LOL dolls color change in warm or cold water. Before that, it was always cold water. In the LOL Bigger Surprise, for example, there are 4 different dolls and 1 color changes in warm water.“

I have to say I'm having trouble believing that there's really a pizza slice tattoo on a LOL doll. Has anyone actually seen them?

That thread really bugs me, mostly because of anti semitism, blaming Obama,the religious overtones and the vilification of poop related toys.

No idea if it was real or not,but the comments made me really uncomfortable.

nevermorelenore · 14/08/2020 18:11

On the snopes page, the one with the BDSM type outfit is obviously drawn on with marker pen. It has that crappy faded look.
