Years ago I used to collect Living Dead Dolls, and Crypt Kiddies. I used
to collect them mostly for Halloween props to have around the house,
and I enjoyed them because no other companies were creating such vile,
evil looking dolls at the time. Over the years I managed to collect
quite an impressive amount of them, and some of them I kept in their
original boxes, especially Living Dead Dolls, because the package they
come in is shaped like a coffin, which just added to the whole spooky,
creepy, must have it for Halloween vibe.
While cleaning out the basement, I managed to come across a small
collection of the dolls still in their boxes, and up on the review
chopping block today is Deadbra Ann, whom was part of the Living Dead Dolls, series 2.
So let me tell you about my sweet rotting dolly, Deadbra.
Deadbra Ann, like all Living Dead Dolls, comes in her usual coffin
shaped package. The doll itself has pasty pale skin to resemble death as
realistically as possible; even for a doll, the skin color is pretty
accurate. Her legs and arms all move, but you are restricted to just a
basic stand up, or sit down with legs wide open type of deal. Kind of
like old Barbie Dolls, that have movement in the limbs but only back and
forth type poses.
The dolls hair is a red amber color, and on her head she wears a
crown, her dress is a bright bloody red color, with a ribbon wrapped
around her. As if she won prom queen, she also comes packaged with a
bouquet of flowers.
Overall:
I had no idea that this particular doll would ever go so high up in
price, as I managed to pick her up years ago in a clearance bin for
$10.00 or something low. Deadbra Ann now goes for around $80.00. Other
dolls in the same series also have risen in price, and some are so
unbelievably valuable it made my jaw drop.
Worth Buying?
At the price she is set at now, I wouldn't buy it,
but if she is a missing key in your collection I would recommend
scooping her up now, as her price will likely just continue to soar.
These Living Dead Dolls make for excellent little window sill
decorations around Halloween time, but I suggest that you keep them in
their boxes.
