These autopsy dolls are made from [old toy dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xox-kweenie) found in second hand and junk shops by the two creators Jeremi and Nicole and are [horrifying](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashers-horror-house).

The dolls express their interest in pathology and autopsies in both form and function. Designs include a [Frankenstein baby](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-mart-chucky), complete with removable brain.

Inexplicably demand for these dolls is so high that they are only sold at auction so that everyone has a chance to buy. I’ll pass, thanks.

To see the dolls in minute detail, watch the video, but be warned that it is VERY gory.
