Artist and designer Jason Freeny has come up with yet another line of anatomy-showing dolls, this time focusing his interests on a series called Dissecting Barbie. The ever-lovely Barbie doll gets a gruesome makeover in this collection, and instead of looking perfect, she's missing half of her skin.
Freeny plays doctor and shows the audience what's going on inside of this favorite ultra-girly childhood doll. Half of her body remains normal, but the other half has her skin peeled back to show what's going on inside her. You can see her bones, her organs, muscles and her realistic-looking breasts.
Check out this series if you've always loved Barbie and wanted to know if she has the same stuff you've got going on inside her.
