Perhaps because of the general cuteness of it all (and the doll's wild popularity), two disturbing [[Urban Legend|Urban Legends]] sprang up concerning them. One is that dolls returned to the factory for repairs would be returned in coffin-shaped boxes -- or not returned at all -- with a Death Certificate for the bereaved owner. The other is that the dolls' features (close-set eyes and a somewhat pinched face) was all part of a campaign to acclimatize kids to a world in which those features would be common: as a mutation caused by nuclear war. Needless to say, [[Snopes]] found no substance in either of these rumors. |
