Betcha thought I'd never stop writing about dolls! This time I am not writing about a doll; rather, I am writing about an action figure.
I ought to hate this uncannily accurate Steve Jobs action figure, but the truth is, it looks a hell of a lot more like Mr. Jobs than that Hungarian statue ever did. (Remember? Try to forget again.)
The not-yet-released Steve Jobs action figure comes from Chinese company In Icons---seriously, just look at their website, because that toy is amazing---and is expect...
You are admiring a one-of-a-kind Katy Perry Barbie doll, designed by Amy Lee of Mattel. Those tiny 70 cupcakes on Katy's skirt? Handpainted. Those little flecks of glitter on Katy's legs? Swarovski crystal. The doll's estimated value? $15,000. Yep---this is basically the Last Word in Katy Perry Barbie dolls.

Both dolls are up on the auction block until Decemb...

I guess just the name is enough for some people - the fine, fine folks at Pipedream have dreamed up 'Finally Miley,' a Miley-like sex doll that's only really Miley-like if you count the token plaid shirt and the bad, odd-colored hair.

I have no idea why. The doll, Kinky Kim, is advertised as a "busty bubble-butt bimbo who's had more dark meat inside her than a bucket of fried chicken." And I will be damned if that's not the most charming, appealing thing I've ever heard. What woman wouldn't want to have a blow up doll modeled after her? What's that? A good deal of woman wouldn't want this? Whatever, prudes.
