I'm glad that the "haunted" part of this toy is just implied and not really a testament to the fact that a malevolent spirit has taken up residence in it. I have enough things in my house with the potential for bad juju without having to worry about the toys I buy needing a young and old priest. For my birthday my wife bought me an antique glass eye cause I've kinda been obsessed with them for a while. The craftsmanship on them are mind blowing and they really are stunning little works of art that just so happened to have once resided in a real human being's vacant ocular cavity. No big deal right? But on the off chance that the previous owner is not too happy about not entering the afterlife with his prized prosthetic, the wife and I found a vintage pill box, propped it up with some cotton, and gave it a display fit for royalty. Or hopefully fit enough to calm any angry ghosts. When you have peculiar tastes you sometimes have to go out of your way to prepare for anything.
This is my favorite edition of Frank Kozik's Lil Alex figure by far. I like the fact that it's made out of what I can only describe as a smoky vinyl. Sounds classy right? Like you could be sipping Absinthe and discussing art with Marlene Dietrich in Weimar-Era Berlin.
Snap out of it doll face and flick your cigarette already before you burn yourself.
