The Living Dead Dolls Death Timeline

I'm not looking forward to boosting this post on Instagram, because there's no exciting imagery here. This project was able to be done entirely in text!

But I was interested, after analyzing the LDD deaths by date on a generic calendar, to see where the characters would land in a linear chronological timeline through history. The previous post didn't analyze year of death at all because that was extraneous, but this time, it was the point!

Left Out Dolls: Re-Resurrected

I've kind of dropped out of my Left Out Dolls fervor for a while now. This might be the last post in this category as my base doll pool for this series is shrinking (Rainbow High is, by all appearances, dying, Shadow High is done) and other things are driving my attention. So here we go!

The Living Dead Dolls Deathday Calendar

Who likes data analysis and extremely niche fixations??? Because I just assembled a blank year calendar to track which day each Living Dead Doll met their end on.

I Vant to 'Vestigate a Vintage Vamp: Traveler Trading Co. Collectible Count Dracula Doll

I'd seen this item while trawling the backwaters of Target.com listings with a Christmas gift card previously, but hadn't jumped onto it--it was a third-party seller distributing a vintage horror collectible doll of Count Dracula, from 1985!


Online big-box retail typically isn't the place for unique finds, but sometimes third-party stuff shows up with something out-there and you have to check it out.

Absolutely Deceased: Monster High x Off-White Symphanee Midnight by Mattel Creations

Sometimes you can just feel that you need to go for a doll because it's really special and you want to be one of the people who got it. This is that for me.

Lottie Meets Lottie (also feat. Lottie!)


I had a...symbiotic idea. One doll made me think of another doll, and both gave me motivation to review the other and resolve an old curiosity and a new one at the same time. We're reviewing Lotties today of very different nature, and satisfying a fascination for small dolls.

Old Lace and Arsenic: Living Dead Dolls Series 23 Agatha by Mezco Toyz


I've admired many Living Dead Dolls, but mostly I pick and choose from collections which ones I want. I generally lack the completionist impulse as a collector, and yet I found one series I'm getting everyone in. This is the first of those dolls.

If you have any familiarity with the LDD catalogue, it should be no surprise to readers here which specific series compelled me to collect a whole set. It's a dolly tea party series!
