I suppose even the most violent types can look cute in a doll format, which is the case for the Plush Alex DeLarge.
Angela Tiara created the Plush Alex DeLarge modeled right after one of the most sadistic, evil and twisted characters in literature. Those who have seen Stanley Kubrick's film version of the book will instantly recognize this face of evil. This dolled-up Alex has the trademark over-sized lashes on his right eye, the bowler hat, the menacing cane and his trademark white outfit. Surprisingly, the smile that this version of the character bears is actually quite nice and shows no indication that he wants to beat the crap out of you.
Being a great fan of the book A Clockwork Orange, I was thrilled when I saw the Plush Alex DeLarge is a real treat. Ultra violence has never looked so adorable.
