It only recently occurred to me to type "OOAK" (one of a kind) into eBay and pick through the doll section.

I was just expecting a lot of Barbie repaints, but most of the auctions can be divided into two categories: Creepy clay babies and man-I-wish-I-Brian-Froud style mermaids/fairies. Or "faeries." Sometimes "faeyries."

I like to sort them by price and find the most expensive ones.... And try to imagine the sort of people who would blow five hundred bucks on this sort of thing. Especially when they can look so... ngh.

I should work a clay baby collector into Templar. Because the idea of walking into a house FILLED with curio cabinets packed with goggle-eyed plasticine babies is way scarier than any haunted mansion or cross-dressing motel-running murderer.

EDIT: HOLY MOTHER OF COCK WHAT THE HELL

I've tried writing an unappealingly masculine woman into one of my things, and her trailer's walls are covered in shelves of beanie babies, baby precious moments statuettes, baby hippos, baby dragons peeking out of their baby eggshells and so on. She'd be fun to write dialogue for, but I'd spend all my time drawing the goddamn backgrounds in her house, and that may be more work than it's worth.

I don't know what's worse about those ooak dolls. Finding someone who can afford the hideously expensive dolls, or finding someone who has to go budget and buy the ones by less skilled sculptors for cheaper...

I understand what you mean, though. They're all pretty frightening. Shocked

How is that "a Bachus"? I'll admit, with the walleyed, glazed stare, he does look a little tiny bit drunk. Still wants for an amphora of watered booze and some nymphs for his fauns to run down and rape, though.... where's Silenus, dammit?

And not a fan of the gym-rat look for a god of slobbering, tanked revelry.

I prefer my Bacchae far more dissipate. With little intoxicated boys pissing at their haunches, if possible. Now that says drunken abandon.

Is it me, or do the sculpted water droplets make the merman look like he's melting?

Can you say, fetish object?

I've seen worse too. The ones that are featured specifically as "anatomically correct" make my soul shrink in fear. Shocked

I keep seeing this thread title and thinking it's going to be about one of these Librarian heads.
