Don't give that to my kid...

[Club'nBabySeals]

So, Clubbin, you're never ever going to let her have a single doll ever?

I'm not opposed to plushies or action figures, but dolls that are made to look like real people (especially those freaky plastic infants that make crying sounds and have real poop...ugh) are just out of the question. I'd have a panic attack if I saw my little girl playing with one of those.

WTF?? That is seriously disturbing.

Autopsy babies You know how expensive those things are?

So, you prefer violent action figures?

 

[vraiblonde]

Because of the hair holes?

And their eyeball things :ick:

 

[vraiblonde]

How about taking the doll out of the box, giving your child the much appreciated box, and regifting the doll? :shrug:

This is actually a very good idea

Up until my son turned 3 he was more occupied with the boxes and wrapping paper than what was inside.

I think it is most important to deal with your own fears.

 

[vraiblonde]

I am no help.

Not all action figures are violent in nature, but if it came down to it, yes, I'd rather give my kid a Ninja Turtle than a baby doll.

Mine likes magazines. She got a little paper cut on the corner of her mouth while trying to devour one, so she's not allowed to play with those until her "eat everything I get my hands on" instinct has waned a little.

Because somehow neurotic talking turtles with super powers are less disturbing than a sleeping babydoll with its eyes closed?

And also they are cooler.

Nickel is right...they ARE cooler.


I suppose it's because a ninja turtle is a toy. It's fantastical, imaginary, and completely unrealistic. A sleeping baby doll looks like a little dead baby. The wakeful ones look like creepy demon possessed minions from the depths of Hell, with their beady little eyes that follow you and their ghastly mechanized bowel movements.

Where is that super cool TMNT pic that has been floating around for the first few months. It has a few super cool forumites photoshopped in it.
