I played with Baby Achoo this week. She's awful. Her blowing her nose is scary. It made a passerby look over at me and say, "Is that the doll? Yuck!" You push her tummy and she leans over, closer her eyes and sneezes or talks. At one point she said in the most pitiful voice, "My nose is all stuffy. Make it go away mommy." Isn't that awful? And to think she will never be well.....

last christmas i went to toys r us to buy presents for all the neices and nephews...and i will never set foot in that store again.
granted it was 3 days before christmas, but it was a prime example of human nature + materialistic craziness + screaming/whining kids...merry christmas??
i dont know how you parents out there can stand it!! :(

I laughed through the whole post...these toys are crazy!
I guess baby dolls w/ "appropriate ethnic details" come with a nice price tag, is it just me or is $35 a bit high for a baby doll!
The trampoline/cage was one of my favorites, I guess that's for parents who aren't into "parenting".
What's really sad about all these toys is that there are thousands of kids who will receive one or more of these toys for Christmas.

Those guides are to make our children "hate" us for not being "good" parents and buying all the crap that lights up, makes noise (loud as all getout with no volume control) and ends up being something for us to trip and break our neck over!

Oh my gosh. That is one of the funniest things I'v...

Oh my gosh. That is one of the funniest things I've read all day. I am going to share this with my friends.

Do you know what I'm happy about?

I'm happy that I was caught up with your blog this week and I had already read and commented on this post! SCORE!

How come this catalog didn't come in my mailbox? You crack me up. I had a pooping doll growing up. I definitely wouldn't buy one now. Thanks for the review....and laughs!

Ha! I love it.

FYI - they grow out of dolls and grow into Coach handbags (thank God for Nana).

I want the slanty eyed baby doll. Something in this house should look like me! I'm surrounded by boys (even our cat) and that all powerful Asian gene most definitely did not hit Jack. Great post!

Luke totally wants that mind-control game, but it's not happening because I'm afraid he'd find a way to use it on me.

Talk about creepy dolls- someone gave my daughter one of these (hers came with a shirt) http://www.trademe.co.nz/Toys-models/Dolls/Bratz/Dolls/auction-251033903.htm
Her facial expressions change as you push the buttons on her back. CREEPY!

Man, my Toys R Us ad was nowhere near as funny. I guess I will have to look at it again.

Very clever! I did actually like the Dora Dolls, Alex is getting the whole darn set for her birthday from Granna! Now I'll laugh every time I look at them!

I was flipping through the catalog yesterday and didn't notice any of that stuff. Granted, I skipped right over the doll section!

2009-11-05T08:39:28.448-06:00

This is hilarious. What a clever idea. p.s if the Asian doll is "articulated with appropriate ethnic details" how come she looks bigger than the white doll?

It's a microcosm of society in the form of toys. You are so astute!
