Have a special someone you'd like to see lose their head? We can help!
We offer a custom doll service where we
can create a decapitated (or otherwise mangled) doll in historical or
contemporary attire with the general likeness of an individual of your
choosing. These dolls make morbidly wonderful gifts! (After all, nothing
expresses fondness quite like chopping off someone’s head… just ask King
Henry VIII!)
Of course there are limits as to how
much an effigy will look like the person who inspired it, but we can work
with hair colors and styles, basic body types, eye colors, gender, and
general age range. Dolls are dressed in outfits that reflect the fashion and
color scheme chosen by you, with as much or as little adornments as you
desire.
To have a custom doll made, we'll need a
general description of the character (or better yet, a good photo!), the
historical region and period desired (French Revolution, Tudor England,
Ancient Egypt, Contemporary, etc...), a color scheme for the costume, and a
general idea of what size range of doll you'd like. Keep in mind that size
is often determined by availability, so a "large" doll may be over 30" tall
while a "small" doll could be less than 12". We can even do
full-sized mannequins on request. Once you give us the basic idea of
what you'd like, we'll work with you to add in the details and then create
your doll to those specifications.
Because these custom dolls are basically
commissions for having artwork created, there are no refunds or exchanges
for custom dolls.
Custom dolls require a 50%
non-refundable deposit for us to begin working on them. Once the doll is
completed, we will e-mail you with a photo of the doll for final approval.
Once approved, the remaining balance will be due within 10 days. No dolls
will be shipped before payment is received.
Dolls are shipped within four business
days after the balance has been paid using whichever shipping method was
specified with the initial order. Custom dolls that have outstanding
balances for longer than 30 days, or are returned to us as being
undeliverable by the postal services, will be considered abandoned and will
be disposed of however we see fit.
