BBE: Creepy?

[lovesbabysquirmy]

I loved them as a child, now I am irritated that they get damaged so easily and that people find them creepy.  :-p

[Pheasant]

I grew up with dolls that blinked, so they've never struck me as creepy. *shrugs*

[Lore-Lei]

Creepy? Eh, not really. Uncanny? Yes, and that's why I love them.

[SkyCakes]

I found them very creepy at first but, now I love them. They grow on people like mushrooms.

[Miniature Sheep]

I don't find them totally creepy but their eyes do put me off; the massive 'ridges' around the edges and the deeply set eyes are not particularly pleasant to look at!

Thankfully it;s less noticeable on the Unicorns than it is on the Earth and Pegasus baby ponies

[Leave a Whisper]

With the eyes open, they're kind of terrifying.  But, tilt it over a little so that one eye is partially closed, and they look like they're drunk, which I find hilarious.

It's a shame. I'd love to have Baby Lofty, Baby Half-Note and Baby Frosting, but those rusty, blinky dolls eyes...ugh! I guess I could always pay someone to de-BBE them and then TE them.

I think they look ill... But still oddly cute. They've grown on me.

[Juliepants]

I don't like them, don't own any, never will. Don't mind them De-BBE'D tho.

I do find most of them very creepy!  I don't like doll eyes anyways but for some reason the unicorns and Pegasus ponies don't bother me as much. I think baby frosting looks especially cute!

[Aflame]

yes but some haven't been released in normal form so i will buy them although i wish i could aford to get 2 sets and make one NBBE customs

[sd_dreamcrystal]

I'm thinking about replacing the eyes with something like glass eyes... though it would be done on a baity first

[Aadra310]

Nope!  I had at least 5 as a child so they've been with me pretty much my whole life.  Never found them creepy.  I love them!  I wish they weren't prone to rust!

Yeah, for some reason I think so, too, even though I prefer the normal baby unicorn pose. The BBE ponies really got the short end of the stick as far as a pleasing aesthetic design -- possibly if they looked more like other baby ponies they'd be cuter. They tend to be kind of skinny-looking in addition to having the non-pony-like eyes; it's especially noticeable on the BBE earth baby pose. Since I've held that view for a while, I was surprised when Baby Sleepy Pie began to grow on me. I like her, despite her not being objectively very pretty; I do like white and blue.

[Deep Purple Crystal]

Not at all. I've got Baby Sundance in my collection, and I see little about her that I find unsettling.
