Mezco Toyz Living Dead Dolls 13th Anniversary: A Visual History

Series 11
Series 11 dolls: Maggot, Killbaby, Jubilee, Rain and Isaiah.

Fun Fact: I don’t have any fun facts for you on this one, just some wickedly awesome dolls!

Favorite Poem: Jubilee
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
You look like a ghoul,
And you smell like one too.

Favorite Death Certificate: Isaiah
They found this paperboy’s limp body,
His bicycle en route but quite shoddy.
A car left behind a twisted gory wreck,
Papers did fly, crushed skull, broken neck.

Series 12
Series 12 dolls: Chloe, Tessa, Frozen Charlotte, Cuddles and Ezekiel.

Fun Fact: While one of the features that often made Living Dead Dolls creepiest was their eyes, Damien and Ed showed that the dolls could be even creepier when you removed them like they did with Tessa.

Favorite Poem: Chloe
I lay here alone in this place so gloomy,
It’s dark and it’s cold and not very roomy.
My mind is awake, but my body is lead.
So this is what it feels like once you are dead.

Favorite Death Certificate: Tessa
After they removed her eyes
She bled a bucket of tears.
Now she haunts them every night
Exploiting all their fears.

Series 13
Series 13 dolls: Evangeline, Iris, Morgana, Simone and Jacob.

Fun Fact: To celebrate the lucky 13th series of Living Dead Dolls, each doll was modeled after a different superstition. Evangeline had a broken mirror, Jacob had a ladder, Morgana an umbrella…

Favorite Poem: Evangeline
Shards of a broken mirror
Left Evangeline a disgrace
Seven years of bad luck
Is written all over her face

Favorite Death Certificate: Jacob
Jacob with his ladder
Climbed right out of hell
Now he carries it with him
Wherever he does dwell
For those who walk beneath it
Bad luck through the years
Them and all their loved ones
In an ocean full of tears.

Series 14
Series 14 dolls: Alison Crux, Jasper, Daisy Slae, Dee K, GreGORY

Fun Fact: This series features what I believe is the only doll to have an accessory that is even creepier than the doll itself. That’s right. GreGORY comes with a ventriloquist dummy… Shudder!

Favorite Poem: Jasper
Jasper was a solipist, that is to say
She believed the world lived in her head
And since all she desired was mass genocide
Jasper just had to turn up dead

Favorite Death Certificate: Alison Crux
Alison loved to play in revolving doors
Until one day she got stuck
No one saw her on the floor
Of all the rotten luck.

Series 15
Series 15 dolls: Death, Bathory, Gypsy, Flamingo and Judas.

Fun Fact: Series 15 marked a return to reality with the creation of the Bathory doll. As any good horror aficionado knows, Countess Elizabeth Báthory is known for torturing and murdering hundreds of young women and then bathing in their blood.

Favorite Poem: Gypsy
Gypsy comes with misfortune
And some deadly spells
Purchase of this doll
Will surely bring you hell!

Favorite Death Certificate: Bathory
Walled up inside the Csejthe Castle,
Elizabeth waits to die
Condemned for the murder of nubile virgins,
she bled to beautify
Succumbing to the wrinkles of age, is what she feared the most
Now all that remains of Bathory, is a legend and her ghost
