Nazi dolls

  • i really like my action figures, but i face a lot of prejudice from people -- i bring gay guys home from bars and then they see my doll collection and they don't like me any more. and on the other end, my fellow doll collectors don't like me because i am gay. also -- i will end this post with a photo of myself. ...
  • typical craigslist fare.
  • Wow. The good ones aren't all taken yet.
  • The pic with all the little plastic nazis all in a cardboard box is very surreal. Turner Prize material if ever I saw it.
  • I like to keep them looking fancy.
  • If those weren't nazi dolls I would think they were pretty cool action figures. But they are. They so are.
  • This makes me think that there is probably a gay subculture that dresses up in Nazi uniforms and does what ever a gay Nazi subculture would do (wink, wink). Hey, what ever melts your butter.
  • A strange power trip?
  • I wonder where he got them. At first I thought hey, maybe he is like people who collect antebellum or Jim Crow era offensive caricatures of African Americans (to learn about the attitudes their ancestors faced or as historical artifacts of prejudice or some other less offensive reason than, say, to perpetuate racist attitudes today). But no, actually a collection of slave owner dolls might be a closer comparison. And there are no such action figures or dolls, to my knowledge. Unless you count some of those little Revolutionary chess set figurines or some of the Founding Father beanie dolls, who are not collected so much for their slave-owning status as their other attributes.
  • Does one go right into collecting gay nazi dolls? Or does one start with Barbie and work up to the gay nazis?
  • This post revealed that my company has, in cooperation with their isp, firewalled a lot of sights. I can't access the nazi dolls from work nor can I get thru to the wonderful video world of Rob Pongi. I think they are mad at me because I downloaded the Korean Celebrity X-files (an illegal powerpoint presentation covering all the dirt on koreans celebs) Luckily, it works on my mac at home. For a moment I thought it was a Korea-wide firewall like the ones they put on ogrish.com and every other site that has images and/or videos of korean hostages in iraq. **ogrish.com is really something i would almost never want to see nor to show to anybody else. i do firmly believe, however, that it should be every person's right to choose.
  • Alex Reynolds - perhaps there's a Day-to-Night Klaus Barbie doll?
  • Or a 24-hour Klaus Nomi doll?
  • Klaus Barbie doll? Ve haf vays of making du laffen...
  • Its really weird, but I've seen more references to Klaus Nomi on the net in the last couple months than in the last few years. Strange...
  • that's because he's totally making a comeback, dude!
  • can anybody see the pic of the guy at the end of the post? i just got a red x box. from late october: Virgin Megastores is apologizing for selling dolls portraying members of a Nazi combat division that was first established to guard concentration camps. The dolls are part of a World War Two series made by Plan-B Toys of Groveport, Ohio. Holocaust survivors and the Canadian Jewish Congress complained about their sale at a store in Vancouver, British Columbia. In a written statement, Virgin Megastores says the dolls depicting members of the Totenkopf SS Division are no longer being stocked in the Vancouver store. It's unclear whether other stores in the Canadian chain are still selling the dolls. Members of the Totenkopf Division fought at Normandy in 1944 but it was formed at a death camp in Dachau, Germany.
  • This makes me think that there is probably a gay subculture that dresses up in Nazi uniforms and does what ever a gay Nazi subculture would do (wink, wink). Reminds me of the British royal family.
  • Reminds me of the British royal family. Oh, snap!
  • I love those fucking playing cards. I would love to whip those out at a poker game and start dealing. Cardboard box? He should cut off the top of a large gasoline container and keep them in there.
  • Thanks SideDish (and no, I can't see the picture either). It looks like he bought out the store. And here I thought he must have been scoping out flea markets for years to amass that kind of collection. Of course, they're probably for sale elsewhere, perhaps being snapped up by Prussian Blue fans or their parents who want a suitable Klaus Ken doll.
  • i just got a red x box. There are ointments for that. I'm sorry. I'm going to go do something useful now.
