Dolls, like clowns, can be extremely freaky and weird, and this bad boy a prime example of the see-you-in-my-nightmares vibe vintage dolls sometimes give off. This is a doll of Harold "Red" Grange, and he's sporting his Chicago Bears uniform. Sure, $1,150 for a doll sounds like a lot, but think of the lifetime of fear he'll bring to you and yours. [eBay]
