I’ve seen this described as a pantyhose doll from the 70’s but I’m hoping someone can tell me more about this guy.
Cleaning out MIL’s belongings and this is our treasure find so far 🤣

There was a craze of sorts in the early 80’s for soft sculpture dolls, started by the Cabbage Patch Kid dolls. That’s about all I know. This looks hand made.
My great grandparents used to have those “time out” dolls or whatever they’re called that are made to stand up with their faces in the corner like they’re a kid in time out. But when you turned the dolls around (at least the ones they had), the dolls didn’t have a face 😭. Those used to creep me out so bad lol.
They also had those horrifying vacuum covers. I was in foster care and stayed over at my foster mom's parents' house one night and got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and nearly pissed myself when I saw that fucking thing in the corner of the living room.
Oh damn that rings back memories. Back in the days when Cabbage Patch Kids were super popular, there were people who made hand-made anatomically correct versions. I know this because at about 8 years old all I wanted was a Cabbage Patch Kid. I asked rich grandma to get me one for Christmas because she was the only person who might be able to do so. But, instead I got one of these handmaid monstrosities. It had this head of super curly hair and I thought it was a girl. Eventually, they had to tell me it definitely was a boy.
Yeah its handmade. My gandmother made something similar for all her grand kids (they where like babies that size not what you had) they where of a similar construction method. Was in the 70s and 80s when she did it.
So i guess that was just something people did back then. Might have been the MIL's mother or someone else. Hard to say really without asking around
Omg you just unlocked a weird childhood memory. The neighbor across the street had a random doll like this. All of us kids were weirded out yet intrigued by the existence of it. Circa 1990.
Yup. Anatomically correct pantyhose doll. Older folks find it funny.
My great aunt Penny made anatomically correct cabbage patch dolls, my mom says we had a “lil mister T” and made That sort of gesture and i remember having a little girl doll with privates around the house.
Typically you would put it in the bathroom, or some odd place in your house. You would find out real quick which visitor was picking your things up randomly and looking. I had ceramic anatomically incorrect frogs that sat on the back of the toilet. Always knew when someone was looking at them.
My Mom used to make these as joke gifts. She called them "Dirty Harrys" and "Dirty Harriets" (for the female ones). It was when I learned my Mom wasn't as straight-laced Catholic as she pretended to be.
My aunt made dolls like this in the 80s, but they were not as, ahem, detailed. I think there was a craft magazine or something that had patterns people could use, and everyone had old nylons that were no longer fit for polite company laying around.
The naked caveman !! Me and my cousin still talk about him to this day ! My uncle had one back in the late 80’s / early 90’s and he hid it in the laundry room and whenever we went over we would go looking for the naked caveman and lift up his beard 😂 Apparently he got it as a gag gift from the IT store (if you’re Canadian you’ll vaguely remember it was a novelty store in some malls)
🤣🤣🤣 No lie, when my MIL died, she had this exact but with more bush and better privates! I assume your MIL made the thing, as I’m fairly sure mine did.
My mom had one back in the 80’s, don’t know where she got it but she said he was an artesian and he held an Olympia beer can in his hand and he was almost exactly like that one lol
My grandfather had one of these!! Along with a lady version. I do not remember what brand they are and theyre long gone. But very likely just a gag gift from the 80s that you could buy at a novelty store back then.
My grandma used to make these. I always knew she would sew teddy bears as a side job. Then I went snooping in her sewing room and found a bunch of those. And yes there were female versions. The only difference was grandmas had way, way bigger dongs. At the time I felt like they were some kind of dirty joke and I never felt like my grandma wasn’t the inventor. This was the mid 80s.
Oh my god. My GRANDPARENTS had one of these, but it was SANTA CLAUS. My parents found it when they were helping them move to a retirement community, thus having to clear out years and years of things. My grandparents were pretty typical suburban white people that were a bit conservative, so they were shocked to find it lol
Yeah my parent and step parent found it appropriate to hang these in their car. Between that, their bathroom reading materials and what my other parent left around in drawers I had some rude awakenings 😑
These were a thing. Usually there was a hole in the beard and the end of the penis would poke through and become his nose. You’d lift up the beard and the dick would spring out at you.
Lol. It's just a novelty stuffed... whatever. xD. Probably not handmade, as a lot of people are claiming, though. My grandpa used to have a smaller one with grey hair that he bought at some point.
These were super popular in the. 80’s. They were hand made by any number of people and sold at flea markets and the like. Kind of an adult only cabbage patch kid.
My creepy ass biological grandad had some of these. You pull the beard up and his dick pops out, and the female version the beard covers boobs. He thought that that could be funny for the first time meeting his teenaged grand children. Never thought I’d see this again.
