Send help because we just found the most brilliantly scary doll on the planet
We’ve somehow stumbled across this very scary doll and we don’t know how to feel.
Send. Help.
On one hand, it’s very, very frightening. But it’s also incredibly beautiful and skilfully made.
We’re now trying to decide who we could gift something like this to, because it’s too amazing to not have in our life!
“Pennywise the dancing clown. 🤡🎈,” the Russian artist who makes this doll and others like it posted alongside a photo of their handiwork on Instagram.
“The [size] of this doll about 30 cm, all drawings and hair fixed, you can touch it, no water only dry cleaning. Clothes and shoes aren’t removed. You can buy it in my Etsy.” (Excuse the clunky translation!)
Okay, admittedly this isn’t really a TOY. But we couldn’t resist covering it here because we knew it’d strike a chord with readers.
Chances are Pennywise haunted your childhood nightmares. Perhaps even sparked a lifelong fear of clowns? Or balloons? #Shudder
We’re fairly sure you know someone you’d like this amazing doll delivered to. #SURPRISE!
The pocket Pennywise
If you like your horror dolls in smaller doses, you might prefer the POCKET PENNYWISE? Yup. Presumably, you can tuck that one into your pants and whip it out when you encounter a situation that needs a dose of scary. Or something like that.
The larger Pennywise doll retails for $177 on Etsy, in case you’re tempted. The smaller pocket-sized doll is $66.
You have to admit, they’re brilliantly executed with absolutely fantastic attention to detail!
What do buyers of these spooky dolls have to say about them?
“So precious,” one happy camper and reviewer wrote. “Wonderful craftsmanship and delicate details. I can’t wait to get another doll from this shop.”
Maker Tattoys Club has also made a Hannibal Lecter doll, in case that’s more your speed. Gulp.
Please don’t buy these for your small children.
