Terrifying Toys

The World's Most Hideous Doll

OK, so you must be pretty messed up to design a doll like this, and even more messed up to have spent your money one dolls this ugly. Even the designer proudly describes them as sick and disturbing.

The gremlin-like dolls are 16" tall and made of firm, painted foam.

Again I can't decide if this is innovative enough to write up, but it is freaky and a bit sick, so I thought why the heck not.

Below are more dolls, most of which look beautiful in comparison!
