Heh. I'm happy to go with that now that someone actually went on-line and discovered that, apparently, according the the person who created her, she is a misfit because she has psychological problems. 0.o She is depressed because her owner no longer loves her. I...I don't even want to know what I think of this response so I have decided she is on the island because she has no nose. Sort of like Voldemort if Voldemort were a ginger.
Ah, the really awful jokes are my very favorite. And, no, not a ginger. I have very dark brown hair that, at least for now, doesn't come from a bottle.
... This is of absolutely no help to you, but this post just made my day. I suspect I will be giggling over it two hours from now. And I don't even know Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Though I suspect the doll was Barty Crouch's original plan for a Portkey before he decided that Harry was too young too old to play with dolls and a cup was the way to go.
Yes, Harry was clearly too gay old to play with dolls. ;D
Heh. Some of my favorite childhood traumas were caused by that show. Or at least the most memorable. It's...just interesting to watch again with adult eyes.
She doesn't require batteries. This is an obvious flaw as we all know that ALL Christmas toys MUST require batteries. LOTS of batteries. The kind of batteries you never have in the house because nothing else uses them.
She doesn't laugh/cry/talk/walk/crawl/pee/poop/take a bottle.
Her clothes are probably sewn onto her body making it unnecessary to purchase additional clothing for her.
Hahahahaha! Yeah, I can see that being a huge design flaw for manufacturers. She probably doesn't have any friends or playhouses or other accessories you need to buy either.
She is on the island because she has psychological problems?!??!!!
Oo-kay. She is depressed because her owner no longer loves her. I...I don't even want to know what I think of this response so I have decided she is on the island because she has no nose. Sort of like Voldemort if Voldemort were a ginger.
You know, I swear this show is the basis for at least some of my most memorable childhood traumas. And apparently it doesn't look better when viewed through adult eyes. Gah.
OMG, I had no idea I'd be adding to your trauma with this explanation! I suppose I thought it would help to give you some closure.
You know, seriously, as a child, my heart broke for those misfit toys, and around Christmas for a few years, I spent a great deal of time worrying about them. Well, except for Charlie - he scared me. But that polka dot elephant made me cry.

Ahhh. That's easy. She isn't a 'Rag Doll", she's an "On the Rag Doll" and bleeds every 28 days. Also, when you pull her string, her comments get really bitchy when she has PMS. *NODS*
Did you ever notice the toy/umbrella distribution over the end credits? The elf gives an umbrella to each toy, presumably to keep it from dashing it's little brains out upon contact with the Earth, but when he gets to the bird HE JUST SHOVES IT OUT OF THE SLEIGH!! THAT BIRD SWIMS INSTEAD OF FLIES!!! IT'S MURDER!!!! Reminds me of the great turkey promotion on "WKRP in Cinncinnati." Oh the humanity!!!

Still liking your explanation better. Several people actually looked up an "official" explanation. Apparently mine is not the only inquiring mind because there are actual WEBSITES devoted to this eternal question.
It would appear, according the the person who created her, she is a misfit because she has psychological problems. 0.o She is depressed because her owner no longer loves her. I...I don't even want to know what I think of this response so I have decided she is on the island because she has no nose. Sort of like Voldemort if Voldemort were a ginger.
And, OMG YES ABOUT THE MURDER THING!!!!! Seriously, some of my most memorable childhood traumas have come from this show. Do you remember me telling you about the time I won an art contest when I was a kid and chose the broken toy as my prize because I didn't want it to end up on the Island of Misfit Toys? And my mother re-tells this story every year as an example of what a dumbass I was as a child. Ah, memories.

The broken toy? You had a saving-people-thing even back then, huh? That is so sweet. Whatever happened to you? *smirk*
I have awful, outraged memories of that poor Abominabumble Snowman having ALL HIS TEETH RIPPED OUT. *claps hands over mouth, shakes head with eyes closed* I also had a huge thing for the gay elf. Things haven't changed much for me, I guess. (Points to icon) I loved how his mouth movements didn't match his words when he said "I want to be - a dentist". And I never understood Society's take on Rudolph being different. I used to watch him being discriminated against in complete bewilderment. I really could not relate to that at all. Even as a little kid, I was like, "Fuck you, society! So his nose glows! Deal with it." Ever the non-conformist, me. And I LOVE that it is the pretty girl doll that has no visible flaws or trauma. Just like real little girls, she keeps all her scars inside. Eventually she will become anorexic, and all her yarn will fall out from malnutrition.

Yes, clearly this is a happy story.
And, yes, you are headed in the same direction I went when I saw the whole "psychological problems" explanation for the only predominately female/female-oriented toy. *facepalms*

Yeah, I always thought it might actually be something dark and twisted. *g*
