Death Drops on the Runway: Living Dead Dolls Fashion Victims Wave 2 Complete

I never thought I would have this group. How did it all turn out?

The Living Dead Dolls Fashion Victims, Part 2: Why In Damnation Did Mezco Stop Here?

LDD doing fashion dolls ought to have been the apotheosis of my doll hobby. I started my hobby with spooky fashion dolls and then became obsessed with the storytelling of LDD's more classic-style dolls, finding some of my greatest creative joy with LDD subjects. But when they finally tried a fashion-doll spinoff, LDD boinked their opportunity in every sense of the word with Wave 1's ineptly sexual doll design that was hard to glamorize or accept. Read that review here. Fortunately, they had one more chance to impress me, and the very next year, in 2004, Wave 2 of the line presented a total overhaul that seemed to be basically what I wanted. Was it?

Death In the City of Devils--My Living Dead Dolls Series 5 Collection Overview

This will not be the most proper "completed series" LDD overview because I did not complete this series in the most standard way. I got both editions of one doll, and I got all five characters, but my complete set as I like it consists of three mains and two variants, so it's not a fully representative set of Series 5 either way. As such, I can't be as objective about the ranking because I did select dolls to serve my appeal.

Gruesome Living Dead Dolls Roundup (Roundup #4)

Recently, I've been finding myself a bit more willing to bite on LDD entries which I'd previously written off for being too grotesque or gory or shocking. This is generally a bad thing for my already-long wishlist, but I'm more open to explore some more extreme or gross dolls if I think the design has some overall appeal in spite of (or possibly even because of) the nasty parts. There are still some dolls which I put a "no" on for being objectionable to me personally, but the presence of icky stuff is less of a deterrent now. Of course, though, I keep warnings for this stuff, and if gory LDD content can stand alone, then the whole post gets warned. That's what's happening here--a roundup of three dolls that are more hardcore than what I focus on normally. Proceed with caution.

Obvious warnings for bloody and gory imagery.
