Looking for a specific item often seen at car shows.

[jb666]

Have you guys ever seen the little dolls, around 2.5-3' tall that I call "Shame dolls"? They lean up against your car with their hands and arms up by their heads in "shame"?? I have no clue what they are REALLY called.

[69bronzeT5]

Over done?

[jb666]

  Go back in your hole!

[jb666]

Something like this:

[Cooter]

Got one, you wanna buy it? Kinda expensive when the lady told me how much it was...

[ChgrSteve67]

Its called a "time out doll"

My wife bought the pattern at the local hobby store and Made me one for shows.

The doll itself is cheep to make but the cloths.  OMG will cost you a small fortune.

Is there any place that sells them finished??

You'll laugh, but I need a Bo & Luke "time out doll". i think it would fit my story perfectly at car shows.

[MoparManJim]

[ChgrSteve67]

You will probably have to buy two already made and then dress then in the clothes you think are appropriate for Bo & luke.

I posted a ebay link above.

Even Gay people call that Gay.

Thanks for speaking for your community     JK man... Just kidding!!!



So is the general opinion that, seeing these at car shoes is gay???

[Finn]

I hate those things...they give me the creeps.

[68X426]

Yeah, and my wife would have a blast sawing off ... Oh, never mind, it hurts too much to say it..

Ok, so I'm beginning to think my idea isn't a good one...I really didn't know what people thought of these things!!!

[Aero426]

This is over done?? In what sense?

The above photo is a great example of "overdoing it".     Assuming I wanted to, I couldn't get a nice photo of that car for all the yard sale junk on and around it.

In general at a show,  I want to see your car, not all the crap hung all over it.     This includes, the crying children dolls,  HUGE sign boards,  large stuffed animals,  flags, dash plaque displays of the other 900 events you've attended, diecast models and trophies.    Having said that, those dolls in and of themselves are pretty stupid.    And that's as nice as I can put it.

[jb666]

  a good friend of mine just put it best..."They are ok leaning up against 50's cars at shows but not the General, that would look really stupid".

My thought was just to have "mini-dukes in shame" leaning up against the car signifying the bizarre path this car took... But I'll stick to the photo album and let that tell the story 

Thanks guys, I'm convinced!!!

Leave poor Chuck out of this... He gives me the creeps too, but seeing as he's a very active member here and a (HI CHUCK!!) nice guy I don't want to make him feel like a freak.

[bill440rt]

Jeff, you could always tie them to a stick of dynomite & shoot them with a crossbow. That would be great!!! 
Oh yeah, I hate those friggin' things too.      That, and when the guy who parks 2 cars away from me blasts 50's music all.... friggin'..... day..... long..... 

[Cooter]

Oh Contrare, I could listen to "The Killer" Jerry Lee, Little Richard, Dion, Chuck berry, Etc. ALL day long WAY better than I could listen to those import guys BLASTING "lil' Wayne and That Sh*T that passes for music these days...

Some people bring their own real-life dolly to car shows!

That's such a cute picture... I can remember taking my daughter to the car shows with me when she was that age.. It was great watching her, because she knew enough to "look but don't touch anything", and the cars fascinated her... She still loves going with me (she's 18 now) , but it's not the same. Enjoy these times 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

I think what most mean (including myself) by "over done" is played out, been there done that, same friggin song every 5 mins on the radio, over done....

[tan top]

You mean like dis?

Chuckie!!! Now that's cool!! Poor Lisa

[FLG]

Jeff,

Im not so sure about you anymore

[BigBlackDodge]

Thats the kind of stuff you spend your money on when there is nothing else to be restored on your car.

[Alaskan_TA]

Thats the kind of stuff you use your lighter fluid & matches on.

Fixed.

Don't think anymore needs to be said on that subject....

[rt green]

i cant belive i read this entire post

[Mr.Woolery]

I think they cheapen the display of the car.  When was the last time you saw all those doodads around a car at a concours?

A good car, especially a Mopar, doesn't need any of that crap to grab someone's attention and keep it.

[sittinonready43]

are they not called cry babys .i try to keep kids awayfrom my car
