If you’re familiar with the “My Twinn Doll,” you know the premise: you pick the features of the doll in accordance with your own baby, and you get a custom doll that looks just like your kid. My wife insisted on getting one for “posterity.”
Would you consider this a success?
(Note: I think the doll we received is about the creepiest thing I’ve seen)
The doll doesn’t even come close to matching the baby. I think they switched the babies at the hospital. Although I’d be very tempted to keep the real baby and send the doll back.
Oh it’s SO good to know that I’m not the only one who finds these dolls creepy! I’ve received the
My Twinn catalogues for years (I have 2 daughters, and I swear the hospitals make money off of
selling mailing lists!), and I’ve always felt like I wouldn’t want to encounter one of the dolls
in a dark room, alone. They look — well, kind of possessed!
That doll definitely does NOT look like the baby at all. I have seen them before and have debated on getting one for each of my kids. Guess I’m glad I never did. This one looks kinda creepy.
Definitely not a match…and the doll does look most Chuckie-like.

I don’t think the doll looks anything at all like your baby, either, but you might be interested in seeing the pictures I have on my blog of a vintage baby doll I’m trying to locate. If you think your Twinn doll is scary, just take a look at the Squalling Babies! (http://www.plush.dirtybutter.com/blog/2005/11/favorite-childhood-dolls-found-well.htm)
No, I would not consider it a success.
I think your wife should have waited a few months before decided to get one of those things. At least until the baby has hair.
That said, the doll doesn’t even look like a real baby, let alone your baby.
The look of the doll is a little unnerving, now isn’t it…
I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face. Your poor baby. Better hide that thing until she’s old enough to accept your apology…grin
I physically shuddered when the photo of the doll popped up. I hate dolls. Hide that thing before your baby sees it and can’t stop crying!
Your poor wife is probably so embarassed.. I would be if I were her for insisting on purchasing such a horrible product!
What an ugly doll! And Empress Baggie knows an ugly doll when she sees one!
