Back in the old days, children played with dolls. These days, they are less popular.

Here are some photos of a doll factory from the past.

To me the non-plush varieties are un-cuddleable, not because of the creepiness - of which many have in spades. It just feels like you're spooning a bowling pin.
 
It's easy to see how stuffed animals have become the more popular choice - there's a more universal quality there.

My mother used to make and sell Raggedy Ann dolls, as well as quilts and other things.

When I was a little kid, I had a stuffed animal cat that purred. I'd bring it with me everywhere, including to Cub Scouts meetings. lol. I've always been a sucker for cats, so it was nice to bring one with me when I couldn't spend time with the real ones I lived with.

I still have most of the stuffed toys from when I was young, except for this adorable little sheep that I lost somewhere. I found and bought a similar-looking one (just a bit smaller though) a couple of years ago, but it must have gotten lost during the move. I'm still holding out for some hope there. Maybe I just have bad sheep luck.

Oh, the randomness of the mind. You just reminded me of this Seinfeld episode about a doll.

 
And now I'm thinking about Dinosaurs, the '90s sitcom featuring main characters played by real people inside giant puppets with robot heads and separate voice actors. lol

I don't remember that episode at all. A lot of episodes from Seasons 7 to 8 have become a blur to me (apart from the one where Susan dies from licking the envelopes).

Since you're obviously a fellow fan of the series, you should see it!

 
(And if you're a super-fan, add Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee if you haven't already.)

I never realized how much I missed the show up until I stopped getting cable. I should probably get a boxset or something.
 
I've seen a few bits of that. A couple of them are funny. I'm not too into cars though.

I'm gonna take this to PM to avoid getting even further off-topic.

Interesting and creepy photos. Maybe it's the black and white. I know a good topic of discussion for your next thread-"The decline of America".

You can buy these used vintage dolls on eBay. Just put it in your bedroom and it will be your friend at night.
