Don't Take Her Out of the Packaging!

Quinn's looking even more artificial than usual because it's Doll Day and plastic is fantastic. Makes you wonder if this would have been Dr. Shar's end result if Quinn had come up with the money for the surgery.

Honestly, you're probably better off taking your chances with arsenic than trusting Dr. Shar, so celebrating Name Your Poison Day is also an option. Just name the poison, though...don't consume it. Unless you're Kevin Thompson, in which case enjoy that nutty butter and banana sandwich!

You definitely don't want to poison your friends, especially not on Best Friends Day. Although Jane was probably tempted after The Kiss....

Collectible Cuteness

What could be better to find under your Christmas tree than this special item at right? Quinn, however, did not think much of this product and said so. (Pinhead and UU provided the large image.)

Last year we asked: would you buy a Quinn doll? We ask that question again this year just because we can. What version of Quinn would you buy?

And now for a Christmas-load of holiday fanfic not listed elsewhere. I think.

Collectable Quinn

What could be better to find under your Christmas tree than this special item at right? (Me, I could think of lots of things, but some of you might want it for purposes that should never be confessed.) Interestingly, Quinn did not think much of this product, and said so.

Would you buy a Quinn doll? Assuming you did not want the Clambake Digging Quinn, which version of Q would you buy?
