Life-Size ‘Coraline’ Doll Takes Fans Into The Other World
Step into the spooky, topsy-turvy Other World of Coraline this Halloween with a life-size doll inspired by the dark fantasy stop-motion film courtesy of Kidrobot.
Coraline, originally a novella by Neil Gaiman, was brought to the silver screen through the direction of Henry Selick. The narrative follows Coraline’s journey as she stumbles upon a mysterious door leading to the Other World. Everything about this new strange world seems to be the same as her life back in the real world, except that everyone has buttons for eyes instead.
As she tries to escape from the mundane life she originally led and essentially being ignored by her parents, she is first sucked into the whimsical new world and the caring arms of her Other parents.
However, she quickly realizes her new life is too good to be true as her Other Mother turns into a monster that tries to trap her in the Other World.
Kidrobot’s life-sized plush doll stands tall at five feet and includes a sturdy metal stand for display convenience.
The doll replicates Coraline’s distinctive features, from her unmistakable blue yarn hair adorned with a delicate felt flower to a removable bright yellow raincoat.
The doll also comes with “buttons” for eyes, giving fans a little peak into what would have happened to Coraline had she not used her tenacity and quick-witted thinking to escape.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), there is no life-size version of Other Mother in all her spindly glory up for grabs to partner alongside Coraline.
Coraline was probably the first film to introduce children to the thrills of horror movies as it took viewers on an eerie journey through a parallel universe and simultaneously taught kids to be careful about what they wished for.
Fans eager to own this unique collectible, pre-orders are currently open for US$380.
