For more information and pricing on our dolls, please visit our website at: WWW.HEADLESSHISTORICALS.COM
Inspired by history, these dolls portray famous and not-so-famous men and women at both their very best and very worst. Most of these dolls were originally salvaged from thrift shops and auctions, after which they were given new life (or death, to be more exact). Each doll is dressed in handmade outfits that resemble the attire that they might have worn in the height of their success in life while the body appears as it would have shortly after their death.

Using forensic photographs, written historical accounts, and techniques used for creating horror effects in film, special attention is given to the details of the injuries sustained during the final moments of each character's life. All of the eyes are glazed over to produce the lack-luster stare of the dead. Torn flesh and deep gashes are shown in all their gory details and for decapitations the severed muscle tissue and bone is visible in the wound.

These dolls are for display purposes only and are certainly not intended for children. Because these dolls were originally obtained from second-hand sources, slight imperfections are normal and often add to the doll's character considering the nature of these reworkings. We are not affiliated with any doll manufacturer.

Headless Historicals are created by artists Garith Pettibone and Shiva Rodriguez.
