Lol! Those Van de Graaff generators making the doll’s hair stand on end looks like something my younger brother would do to our dolls when we were kids. Boy dolls weren’t popular so the boys liked to use our dolls in their science, sports and war games. We were always finding them with their hair cut off and a missing limb because they were casualties of war, injured on the field or victims of science gone wrong.
