That was pretty funny and scary since it happened. Ridiculousness on all sides.

When people import modern day Megos I wonder if they classify them all as "Human Dolls", or if they have different options for different characters?

Hmmmm....

It's funny 'cos it goes against the theme of the books the characters are from.
