Mom/Parent Memes [For When You Need a Laugh]

There will be no PicDump today because…well, have you ever had one of those days when you feel like your kids will be the death of you?

The dolls are modeled after not only your face, but also your makeup, hair, and dress! The dolls, which cost around ¥138,000 each ($1,350 in USD as of this writing), are created by first obtaining a 3D scan of yourself with the help of a few strategically-placed digital cameras.
