Mystery rubber face plush toy, has Renee's toy mfg. Toronto Canada, no clue as to what it is aside from the stuff of nightmares, only slight connection I found was to a doll called SPARKY" Mascot for Union Gas - 1960's which was also manufactured by Renee's toy mfg., any help figuring out what this would greatly appreciated, if anything happens to me in the meantime then you have your suspect right here, thank you in advance

Hi, murdoch1975. :-)
"no clue as to what it is aside from the stuff of nightmares"
*wheeze*
FWIW, they also made a slightly nightmarish Santa:

I know what you mean about some toys being creepy even if the manufacturer didn't intend for them to be that way.
Some time in the last few years, somebody brought a human figurine toy here for identification. It turned out to be a doll intended to resemble one of the Olsen twins (Mary Kate and Ashley), e.g.:

I'm not really a fan of the twins, but neither do I hate them; however, that doll gave me the willies. >8-0
@keramikos ,those Olsen dolls would need to come with a certificate of Exorcism before anyone should be allowed to buy them
murdoch1975. Ha!
I look at it now, and it doesn't creep me out quite as much. I think when I first saw it, I knew somewhere in the back of my mind that it was modeled on a real person, and it struck me as a little TOO real with that rictus of perky cheerfulness:

Sorry I couldn't help you more with your own nightmarish doll.
