    its kinda creepy because the girls are not smiling….

  • Karlschroeder35

    Great concept and execution!

  • Sicliff

     Always thought little girls were scary, this explains to me why! great set though.

  • Tzctplus -

    I find it all a bit bland. What is the point exactly?

  • Lindsey

    Why do they look so miserable? These pictures are very creepy. It looks like they belong in a horror movie.

  • Katia Singletary

    They look so sad! Yet they are able to have such an expensive girl that look exactly like them!

    Boring as batshit. Flat, uninspiring, no concept, lacks vision and poor execution. Fluff – as expected from PP.

  • SirInnesPort

    You’re batshit.  You’re flat and uninspiring.  Your critique has no concept, lacks vision, and has poor execution.

     exactly my thought….personally  I don’t know why those dolls cost so much!

  • Bartacamus

    explain “as expected from PP” please

  • Bartacamus

    have u ever tasted batshit – Salvador Dali did it once – maybe you should try as well and then you might actually start SEEING… 

  • Bartacamus

    look at art at the galleries – models on paintings and photographs usually don’t smile – do they? does everyone always has to smile? 

  • Intrpl

    Yet you use it to criticise me as well. Thanks.

    The one with the the girl on a horse made me laugh, the rest of them left me un-nerved.

  • Lrozenberg

    Kids do smile.. 

  • Bartacamus

    really? how boring… 

  • Bartacamus

    why un-nerved? they are beautiful.

    The only specializing done is outfits. I would have preferred the hairstyles also matched exact, glasses, jewelry, settings be more exact. More imitation, not less. I can accomplish the same outfit with a trip to Kmart.
