This doll is made, I fervently hope, not for children but for the collector’s market. The totally messed-up and psychologically screwy collector’s market. The Adolph Hitler doll is a part of the War Ciminals of the 2oth Century series. Other dolls in the set include Himmler and Castro.
Here are a few comments from around the web:
From Graveyardrecords.com:
This doll was made by In The Past Toys of Staten Island, New York in 2000 and became 1 of the hardest dolls of Adolf Hitler to every be made, it is also the best looking doll to ever be made. The likeness is dead on and looks just as Adolf did at the height of his power..
This doll stands about 12″ tall and the box is in Near Mint condition with only minor self wear.
Please keep in mind that Graveyard Records & Movie Maniacs is only selling this doll due to it’s historic / collector purpose and is not intended to glorify, nor exploit the horrors and atrocities of war.
From vice.com:
“All the GI Joe collectors I used to meet would say how lousy figures were these days,” Deborah says from her studio in Staten Island. “They would go on about how nobody was making figures that collectors really wanted to see. I decided the best one to make would be Hitler.
“At first I had one or two people complaining, but the overall response to the figure has been amazing.
Obviously not one to be held back in her commercial ambitions by taste or decency, Deborah’s soon launching a set of serial killer dolls including Charles Manson, the Hillside Strangler, David Berkowitz aka the Son Of Sam, “Hannibal the Cannibal, and the Chainsaw Massacre guy.”
Even better, she’s about to create a line of “Middle Eastern Agitators,” which will feature 12-inch, detailed-to-the-max dolls of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
Who’s next? Quaddafi? The Ayatollah?
“I can’t tell you our secrets, but there’s going to be 15-20 new figures out this year. Don’t rule anything out.”
Seriously, who wants these dolls? Who is clamoring for a Charles Manson doll?
If you need a Hitler doll, keep it to yourself.
I just don’t get it. I would not play with this, I would not display this, I would not let any hint escape that I own this.
Never mind registration for guns, I want registration for Hitler doll owners.

There are some potentially sick, sick people out there.
What’s next ? Cult leaders ? A Jim Jones or David Koresh ” action figure ” ?
Sometimes the human race seems very FUBAR.

Ask some children of Holocaust survivors what they think of this ” doll “. People whose ancestors were in Dauchau, Auschwitz, etc. I predict a negative response…..

Yeah, totally. This is, at least, marketed toward a certain niche, which I suspect is a lot bigger than anyone would admit. If this were marketed as a regular doll, and not as a criminal doll, I’d weep for the world.

these figs are mostly collect by ww2 collectors for historical purpose of their collection and not to adore. a lot of people also collect model planes and bombers of WW2 like the american B17 who dropped 2 nuclear boms on innocent people, do you think the Japanese like the B17 model planes too? let collectors decide what they want to collect.

People are free to collect them, companies are free to make them, I just think it is totally absurd. But that’s just my opinion.

Yeah who’s the pinko communist that wrote this article. Are you so stupid you don’t realize that you sound and act just like hitler himself. You want a registry for guns and dolls. You want censorship and control versus free market. Your a complete loser who in my opinion , idiot lover like you should have to sign a registry controlling you having children. That way your seed can’t continue to contaminate the earth. Dork

Shove your Hitler doll up your Nazi ass, Herr Heinman. And while you are at it, get some new insults. The last person to say “pinko communist” was Archie Bunker, and dork hasn’t been cool since the 80’s, when you were a dork. You should also work on your reading comprehension, if you took that last sentence literally.
