oh! the bugbabies!

A few posts back, I casually mentioned the "BugBabies" in reference to some vintage Christmas ornaments I have. Well the BugBabies are unpacked and up on the extra (tabletop) tree in all of their creepy glory.

I don't know much about these other than I suspect that they are similar to examples of what came out of Occupied Japan during/after WW2?   Every year, a few different lots make their way to ebay and I must admit I almost put these on Etsy to sell because they're just so darn creepy! But kitsch won out, and The BugBabies are here to stay. They were 75 cents, a true bargain for the shock of unpacking them every year and getting a surprise scare!
