My first thought. I was a huge Alice Cooper fan back in my early teens. My parents thought I needed, ahem, closer supervision as a result.

The toy division has come up with a new doll idea to go along with our children's clothing line. We call them Melon Patch Kids. Now, the competition exploits the notion that their dolls are orphans. The Melon Patch Kids are not orphans... they're abandoned! We think it's a winner.

Back in the 90s I was sewing my own with biker outfits.

I called them Dogpatch Kids after the local biker bar.
