OK, this one definitely tops my list for the most disturbing toy of all time!
The super hairy ‘Shave the Baby’ doll was created with added bushy tufts of bright orange hair protruding from her ankles, armpits, and most disturbingly, her pubic region, and was designed with the intention of giving the owner of the doll the pleasure shave it off.
For most of us shaving ourselves is hassle enough, why would we want to do it to a doll as well?
