Dolls

Originally served as entertainment for human children

A doll is a figure generally of a baby, a girl or a woman made of wood, rag, cardboard, plastic, etc., native to the Real World, which originally served as a toy and entertainment for human girls and boys. On certain occasions, since the 20th century, collections or series were also manufactured for adults that were made of wood, porcelain, celluloid or wax.

The ancient human Egyptian, a mythical ethnic group of humans, made them with smooth pieces of wood, the Japanese with folded paper, the ancient American settlers with wool or cloth, the 19th century Germans with porcelain and the Eskimos with the skin of an animal, the seals, killing them not only for this purpose, but to first eat them and thus recycle the leather, which was not edible for them.

Adults collected them and children pampered and cared for them as if they were conceived (molded) by them.

“Most early doll-like figures were magical or religious objects, not toys.” – Army Men historians

In archaeological excavations made in the Real World, ancient human Egyptians of the predynastic period painted decorated clothing on small paddle-shaped pieces of wood and then adorned them with strings of clay beads to represent hair. They then placed these “palette dolls” in the graves of their dead, believing that they would serve as servants in the afterlife, a precedent for later ushabti. In the West Indies since the 17th century, humans who wanted revenge on other humans stuck pins into voodoo dolls in hopes of causing harm to their enemies, like some kind of magic attack.

Dolls were toys intended for human boys and girls, in which they could recreate some of the tasks of motherhood or fatherhood (that’s what they called the process of training their children), changing their clothes, combing their hair, rocking them, putting them to bed, etc. All kinds of tasks, none useful to survive on the battlefield. To do this, all kinds of accessories related to the doll were sold: dresses and outfits for different times of the year, toiletries, cribs, strollers, etc. For children, dolls also make ideal playmates. In some very rare cases Dolls were Soldiers, but very few.

Throughout the 20th century, near the end of their existence, human design of the dolls became so sophisticated that models were launched performing the most diverse actions: talking, secreting mucus, having a bowel movement or simply moving some part of their bodies. In all these cases, the toys were powered by disposable batteries, the famous energy units of late humans. Some of her, like Barbie, have even gone so far as to had a boyfriend (Ken) who has a car, caravan and other objects that make him the ideal partner for her. But even though Ken is a man, his warrior skills were very lacking, and he was actually more similar to female dolls in all aspects.

Army Men Dolls?

Although the connection with other worlds brought with it a whole new variety of different Army Men and toys of all kinds, some time before this discovery a few very particular individuals appeared on the Plastic World, mostly female, such as Vikki Grimm, Caramel Hazel, Violette Orchid, Brigitte Bleu, Moon Gray and presumably more. Unlike other female soldiers like White Army’s Ghost, Fang and Skull who, although they are now articulated, were always only one color (white).

In those times no one asked questions, no one questioned anything, much less to the high military commanders to whom these dolls were normally linked.

After learning about other types of toys from the Real World, they were called “dolls” too, because of their resemblance to these plastic women from the Giant World.

Their appearance and molding are a mystery, with exceptions like Vikki Grimm, of whom it is known from her father that she had a mother. But the final answer went to the grave next to the Grimms, father and daughter. The rest of the dolls don’t know or don’t answer.
