Can't remember where I found it - some store here in Atlantic Canada. I remember being really creeped out by it and trying to store it so that I wouldn't have to see the creepy dolls. What gets me is that someone has to put a lot of work into those creepy dolls. Why are they doing this? Don't they know their dolls give people the willies? I have had that bag of polyfil before!

That phenomenon most definitely has something to do with the creepy factor. Oh, yeah—I think I even met a robot similar to the one in the Wikipedia entry at the Nagoya expo in 2004.

Luckily, I only have to look at them once a year. My grandmother has two of those creepy dolls, Santa & Mrs Claus. Luckily, I only have to look at them once a year.

The white thing on the left first looked like a goose, but now that I look again, it doesn't look like anything. My guess is that these are all OOAK (one-of-a-kind) artist dolls, maybe some with clay (Sculpey or Fimo) or papier mache heads. Those always look a little creepy to me--and I've made one myself, and let me tell you--it looks about the same! ;) I've stuffed all my Mochimochi creatures with wool from Magic Cabin. It's really nice and no scary critters to deal with. I also think the colorful thing is a mermaid–she’s in a reclining position, and the colorful stuff is the tail.

Glad someone else thinks so too. I have this same bag of polyfill and I had always thought it was creepy. Glad someone else thinks so too.
