Some of them are really creepily life like. I first saw one about 10 years ago when I worked overnights. This little wormy looking guy wrestled one into the bus at about 2 am. As he drug her down the aisle I joked about not paying for her. After spending quite a while getting her seated just right he came back to explain she was sadly not real, just very very pretty. Then he talked to her the whole way.

Actually a MUCH better sci-fi movie than I expected. Good plot twist, too.

Awesome synthetic, your a chiver!

That's not even the creepiest real doll they have had in the Chive. Those are just plain terrible.

Chive on

Wow, that is just plain weird. The eyes in particular are really creepy.

I'm generally not one to interfere much in my kid's decisions about things she wants to do (happily she doesn't show any interest in stuff that would get her in trouble), but if she were to want to do this I would have to put my foot down hard.

The upside is that they can't procreate and that makes the world a better place.

If she has taken this trend to it's logical end - she won't have one.

At first I thought this was dolls that look like girls. No, this is way worse. This is pretty creepy.

What someone as anatomically accurate as a Ken (or Barbie) doll may look like.

(Google Image Search for "metatron dogma" has the actual "unveiling" as the second hit, not sure if that would be kosher to post)
