Creepy Handmade Dolls
When it comes to celebrity dolls, it seems like everyone wants in on the action. Perez Hilton has a great photo gallery of dolls so real looking it's freaky! Undoubtedly the fans and entrepreneurs producing these one of a kind works of - uh - art, are putting much more effort into the finished product than say - a factory in China - would.
Cher and Adam Lambert seem to be favorite subjects for customs dolls, which are often merely enhanced versions of a mass produced figurine. However no celebrity is beyond the reach of these intrepid doll "enhancers." Hilton's gallery includes plastic versions of celebrities as diverse as: Christina Aguilera, Angelina Jolie, Jon Bon Jovi, Bret Michaels, Cate Blanchett and Demi Moore.
