Butcher Boop - Living Dead Dolls: Series 32

A while back I saw some promo' photos of possible new releases of Living Dead Dolls on Parry Game Reserve, taken at the New York Toy Fair in 2008.

Being the horror film buff I am and having a thing for crazy cannibal families I couldn't help get excited for the release of this awesome Leatherface in his "Pretty Woman" mask, based on the "Dinner Scene" from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre film from 1974.

I thought he'd look so awesome next to The LDD Exclusives version of Leatherface Aaron bought me a few years ago...

Just look at this little guy, isn't he adorable?

He even has a bloody cut on his leg from the end of the 1974 film when he almost cut his leg off with his own chainsaw!

I just had to have him, unfortunately he never was released to my knowledge so his presence on my toy shelf wasn't to be.

Some time later I saw a new release from Living Dead Dolls who was definitely based on my dream doll, although not exactly the same.

This time it was a female doll, with a weird name with conjures up images of both Leatherface and Betty Boop, a very strange combination, which oddly works really well.

She has the wild black hair of Betty Boop, but also of The Original Leatherface, is wearing a cool leather apron just like he wore in the butchering scenes of the original film, covered in blood as it should be and a bloody shirt. 

Being a girl, she's wearing a long dress instead of trousers, but she does have some awesome big boots to go with it!

Her face isn't so great in my opinion, they did a better job on The Kiss of Death and Death versions of their Living Dead Dolls...

That said, the next step was to find that awesome mask of hers so I could display her in all her glory. 

I found it at the back of the cardboard inner, and had to try it on her straight away.

It's quite flimsy feeling and is textured on the front as a lot of photo's I've seen of her online seem to indicate and I have to say she looks so much better when wearing it!

Wearing her mask she looks much more like Leatherface in his "Pretty Woman" mask, especially with her leather apron on.

When I read her Death Certificate, I noticed something odd about it... The Death year is listed as 1926 but the Listing for her in The Living Dead Doll Archives shows it as being 1918...

Personally, I think I would have gone for 1974 to tie in with the release of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but what do I know? 

 They must have had a reason for both of these dates, although what they are I have no idea or why they put a different one on the Death Certificate.

I also love the fact that the poem listed on it is another reference to good old Leatherface and his family!

💀 Living Dead Dolls (and Herbie!) Presents ... Leatherface! 💀

Leatherface was bought for me as a Christmas present by my Son when they were released in 2007, as he knew all about my soft spot for the Sawyer / Hewitts family, I have no idea why but I always root for them, they are a weird innocence and are oddly sympathetic characters even though they are right sadistic freaks that you really wouldn't want to meet!

Leatherface especially is childlike, this is further illustrated in the recent prequels where he is shown doing his lessons (spelling) using an electronic toy such as those made by Leapfrog for toddlers and preschoolers.

2008 Christmas pressie from Aaron ... wooot!

This doll is an Exclusive and was produced in a limited run only so they are quite hard to come by in the U.K. - I decided to double check that last line, having not researched him since Aaron bought him for me, so I hop footed it over to Amazon and wow, check out this screenshot...

Amazon.co.uk Screenshot - 2 minutes ago!

I'm shocked how much it would set me back to buy him now, Aaron saved up his pocket money for over a month to buy him for me, if he'd been the price he is now I'd of had buckleys of owing him!

I had to wait for him to arrive from America, he wasn't available for sale in the U.K at the time and after the two weeks of tenderhooks Customs held him to ransom for £10.00!

Even so, with the initial cost, shipping cost and Customs charge combined he's still 

I love this little guy so much, he's just the cutest... He's now £138.10 - £162,42 more than he originally cost in 2008 - almost tripled in value!!

Not that I'd part with the little guy, I adore him, he's just so cute..

                          

He comes in a really cool box which opens like a door at the front to reveal a clear viewing pane, to get at him you have to open the box at the top.

                                                  

The Back of the box reads... "The collectable you are about to purchase is an homage to the tragedy which befell a group of five youths. Had they lived very,very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the macabre as they were to see that day. For them an idyllic Summer afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annuals of American history... The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

He wears navy blue trousers, an ivory shirt, cowboy boots, a blood splattered apron and stands 12 inches tall and comes with his own little chainsaw (also covered in blood splats) and has the cutest little pot belly!!

He sometimes watches The Texas Chainsaw massacre with us at Halloween, although he always gets angry at the end and waves is chainsaw around!

☠ My Living Dead Doll Collection ☠

It's not exactly big but I'm happy with it!

Gluttony Living Dead Dolls Series 7 Deadly Sins.

I've been wanting this boy for ages but seeing as he's been retired for a while now it seemed likely he'd just have to be a wish doll... until my son bought him for me for Christmas 2009!!

He comes with a knife, meat tenderizer, chopping board and Death Certificate & he has the cutest little pot belly and puke stains around his mouth too!

His Death Certificate reads:"The excessive food and drink that he craved, Sent this butcher to an early grave. Now trapped in Hell all he can partake,
Is being force-fed rats, toads and snakes."

Living Dead doll Fashion Victims "Hollywood" from series 2...

She was a swapsy from my truely amazing Flickr friend Kyle and came to me nude.

I have to admit tho' she was my least fav' of the Fashion Victims Series (in fact I don't like many of them at all!) Until I saw her in Kyle's photostream that is... then I just HAD TO HAVE HER!!

I don't think the stock outfits really do her justice so I'm real pleased I got her nudie cos if I'd have had her outfit I'd of made her wear it and then hated her in it!!

Jason Vorhees Friday The 13th 2009 Remake 

This little man, who I fell in love with on the first release, was a Birthday present last year from my son (gotta love a boy like that!!) The first release of these dolls just about sold out everywhere...the only places I could find them, had them for extortionate amounts of money and on Ebay they just went for mental prices ho hum... still they finally brought this guy out again last year and yay just in time for my Birthday too! *Grin*

Unlike the first edition of this doll his face mask is susposed to be unremovable (I found this out after I recieved him and tried to remove it!) I did some research as I could see he had a face underneath and after finding a few listings for this doll which said the mask comes off (one even included pic's to prove it!) I decided to contact the Living Dead Dolls manufacters and ask... my reply came very quickly by email and said nope nothing doing...not to be phased by this I got out my scapel and gave it a go anyway lol and discovered not only is it possible to take it off but he has an awesome face underneath just like in the movies!! hahaha

No Death Certificate comes with this doll.

He was missing his trousers when I bought him so I made him some new ones!!

I'd wanted this guy for a while but as he's retired I didn't think it very likely until I found a Mini on on ebay ... won it ... paid for it ... and waited...and waited.... contacted seller who returned my cash, so I gave up thinking I'd ever own one then one day out the blue I stumble upon this trouserless (but otherwise perfect) little man...bid thinking I didn't have a hope in hell and lol won!

Comes with Baron Samedi style hat (complete with human skull adornment) his own little voodoo doll, Bone necklace and a Death Certificate.

Death Certificate reads: "Placed under a voodoo curse, It was an evil spell he could not reverse, A soul trapped behind lifeless eyes, All things alive are now despised."
