don't laugh. i started (VERY SELECTIVELY) buying Living Dead Dolls recently. Many are corny, but I am attracted to the gore and the creepiness. They are also amazingly good quality for US toys, and I have a lot of respect for the research that Ed & Damien put into them,
ie: the zombie one is named dawn & her date of birth is the release date of Dawn of the Dead. "Sheena" is the punk looking one and she shared Joey Ramone's birthday. There is a doll named dahlia who is cut in half and her birth date is the date of the black dahlia murders, there are also dozens of other references to horror movies, punk bands, etc. that probably go missed by the average mall goth who buys these,
But i think the guys behind them do know about some cool shit, and do it in a subtle and classy way. anyway...I got the jason SDCC exclusive, and the other is an older doll that i've been trying to find for months online, and picked up at original retail price at a random booth. probably one of my most exciting finds of the con. "Bride of Valentine" if only for the fact that i didn't have to fight the ebay prices and other buyers for her.
gory.
