That giant fatal doll from Squid Game is in Robinson's Galleria

Hopefully by this time, we are so stoked with Netflix's new suspense drama series, Squid Game, which casts Park Hae-soo, Lee Jung-hae, Wi Ha-joon, HoYeon Jung and more. The child's play series with a deadly twist got everybody talking about in social in the first three days, and still going on, after its release.

Of all the elements, the tall doll from episode 1 stands out and made its way to Metro Manila. The doll from the Red Light, Green Light game stands at the entrance of Robinsons Galleria as a promotional installation. If you ever had the chance to see her, what would you do?

Netizens from Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand all agree that the experience would be as thrilling as it did in the series. Most reactions are hilarious about the doll stunt. I would particularly want to stand beside it if I get a chance to wear a game soldier suit.

Here are some of the reactions:

“Aga naman magsara ng ROBINSONS geh uwi na lang ako ” - @Charlotte Dadia

“Grabe naman shizuoka andito ka na agad sa Philippines.” - @SaranghaeyoOppaa

“It seems I don't want to move for now” - @TAAA-MOOOOOODDD

“Parang nakakatakot pumunta sa Robinsons ems. Baka barilin ako pag gumalaw ako ahahaha” - @instantmaki

“POV: you went to the mall and u see this........ what would u do” - @SEODONGJAES

There are also different memes lifted from the series that are also quite amusing. Some have garnered more than 1000 reactions, likes and shares keeping the free publicity and conversation going.

Joining the Squid Game craze, It’s Showtime will present Squid Game: Extra Life, an all-or-nothing game based on the newest K-Thriller where 6 faces from the past will meet each other in a head-to-head battle for an extra life.

To get ahead of the game and see how the doll disciplines rule breakers, watch Squid Game, now streaming only on Netflix.

Squid Game: Extra Life airs on September 23 to 25 on It’s Showtime.
