Nostalgia is SO in right now. Surge is back, Teletubbies are threatening to kill the president, and Nerf guns are firing missiles at 68 MPH. But those are all 1990s things. If you want that real, pure, uncut childhood sentimentality, you have to go back to the ’80s, when Cabbage Patch Kids reigned supreme.
The inspiration for the superior Garbage Pail Kids made billions, and now that the kids who owned them are adults with disposable income, those dead-eyed vegetative tykes are making a comeback. And they’re creepier than ever!
The doll is now equipped with LCD eyes that move and blink as if they were on a computer monitor. She also has the ability to talk, coo and laugh like a real baby (hence the “baby so real” moniker). Her cheeks turn red when she’s not feeling well. The accompanying app is connected to the doll via Bluetooth and basically mimics everything you do to the doll in real life. (Tickle her? She laughs. Put her down for a nap? She goes to sleep.) (Via From The Grapevine)
Look into her eyes? She looks back, then comes to life, grabs your eyes, eats them like grapes, and laughs like a real baby. The murder is so realistic!
