I realy don't know how unnerved I am by these.

And you do wonder who would buy them.

Oooh, elements of "Chucky" there, bit freaky for me :(

Very chuckyish indeed.
Not for me thankyou!

To quote the site also:
Stand one in the corner of a room, against a couch, on the porch or anywhere you like and watch the reaction of your guests or just enjoy

I think your guests might think you a little strange for buying one and fooling them like that???

I wonder if they have faces or if they are like the robots in Westworld ?

they have been selling thses in scotland for years! there was a sweet shop in a sea side town who had two of them peering in the window, was very realistic but creepy too!:loopy:

I have a cousin who's a nanny, and she owns one of those bloody things...it gives me the creeps every time I see it.

The first time I saw it she had the thing on her landing and I walked past it in the dark and nearly had an episode!:shocked:

They are vile! I had a realistic baby doll when I was a child, which frightened an old lady once when she saw it and tried to coo at it. I can only imagine that you might have one of these to play pranks on people with it, such as standing it in the garden at 2am to frighten drunks. Though it could make a possible burglar deterrent if positioned right - I know someone who had a shop window dummy which she used to leave in the front room when she went out so it looked like someone was in! :D

...Shy Kids stand around 30"-32" tall, about the size of a 2 year old (pictured)
Sinister, to say the least!

Yes my mum got one from skeggy a couple years back now,but hers is a boy in the corner,It too give me creeps when im over her house.But it aint half funny when my little niece goes over to it and asks if he ok and why he shy and wont play with her.

This is creepy and a bit sick i think.:suspect:

Blair witch project anyone?!
My son won one at a fair - it had no face - OMG!!

can't make up my mind whether they're very sad or very twisted. Perhaps both...

I'm now going to my happy place... There are some things in life I reckon I'd rather not know about!

They should do one in a red raincoat.

Shades of 'Don't Look Now'

<shiver>

One could do some amazing stark photographic imagery using one of these...

Floating face down in the Don, On the floor infront of a dented front bumper...

the mind boggles - what other purpose would they serve?:suspect: :huh:

saw one years ago.........went to a local pub down by the see and under the high table along the wall next to the stools was one, just stood there, back to us, kept looking and though wtf's that? found out they were polystyrene.

just after i saw em for sale in a shop in whitby........were a bit too steep to buy one really tho

Can you imagine taking them into Boots to be developed :hihi:

I'd be tempted to get one just for the shock factor - hmmm boy or girl and what should I call him/her?

Yuk.......... maybe Micheal Jackson will be interested. They can "see all, hear all, and say nowt."

Actually, I can feel a website coming on!
Just showing pictures of one in various challenging & dangerous places - Like on a rocky cliff face, on the wall of Ladybower. Can you still get up Blackpool tower? - stood on the edge at the top.

Even sent by picture messaging - would be safer than happy-slapping but just as "inventive" :thumbsup: :P :rolleyes:

You certainly couldnt put these on the tree w/the other ornaments :D

Whats next, ShyCentenarians?

i once bought a static caravan a few years ago,when i met the owners there i was having a good look round i opened a wardrobe door and one of these little things was stood in there,scared the crap out of me lol

They are HIDEOUS.:gag:

But then I've never understood why grown women collect life like dolls anyway. (It tends to be women):huh:

My mother-in-law gave us one. I hate the bl*ody thing!

Whereas men tend to go for anatomically correct ones. :hihi:

My nana had one and I never could work out why. She had it in the hallway of her house and I always thought it was just in the way.

No faces :gag: Definitely spooky :loopy:

A bit like the Santa figure I have that you drape around a tree in the garden, so it looks like he's skied into it. That hasn't got a face, either, just a a round of blank, pink material. It gives me the creeps when I'm attaching it to the tree!!

Although I don't have one myself I think they are quite novel. They haven't got faces as they are really s'posed to be stood towards the wall......like they are counting (coming ready or not!) in a game of hide and seek I always think.
I like dolls too...and I'd put money on it that no one else on this thread likes them either!!:)

I neither like nor dislike those faceless toddler-type dolls - but I love lifelike baby dolls - I want one!

Imagine going for a pee in the middle of the night and one of them stood up to the wall :o

I'd **** myself :(

Nick, what led you to that site in the first place?? :o

The dolls remind me of a strange story about a house up Wisewood - hands up who know it?

It would save you the rest of the jouney down stairs & up the garden to the lav.

I say get one. Treat yourself :hihi:

I know someone who has one it leans against the settee so you cant sit in the spot,its weird

Evil, weird, sinister, sick, and gross, can you tell I don't like them?!:rant:

There is something seriusly not right about them!:suspect:

They are kinda freaky arent they??

just like real children :D

Well, it's quieter than my daughter, I'll give it that!

Ours has got a face. But it's been a bit battered over the years and it's got a bit squashed! Seems to made of cardboard or something similar. And it has a stocking covering it - looks like a bank robber.....but she's wearing a lovely pink dress and a pretty hat.... yeuch....

OMG they are so freaky.
they definately wont be on my kids christmas list this year....:(

Fill us in BoroughGal!

Hmmm I dunno, some sort of rumour about a dead child being stuffed and displayed on a windowsill in her parents house..... people came for miles to look at the back of her head.

But then again, one of my more sensible mates told me it was just a doll. She knew the occupants. Good little story when you're 13 though. :o

oh wow they're really creepy!
