Information AboutMy Buddy |

DESCRIPTION My Buddy during his initial run had all these characteristics:
HOMOPHOBIC PANIC Due to parental concerns that Gay and Bisexual male children would be able to experiment with their desires by undressing their dolls, the dolls released by Playskool in the 90s were made with unremovable clothing that was freakishly sewn onto the dolls body. The new Kid Sister was also released with clothes sewn onto the body, despite complaints that it made it hard to dress it in different outfits. CHILD'S PLAY CONNECTION The My Buddy doll is widely considered the inspiration for Chucky from the Child's Play Movies , this is supported by the fact that both dolls are very similar in look and design. Any drop in sales especially in Chucky's time of popularity could be contributed to this fact. |
