If you are an extreme fan of the 'Saw' films, you will love the Jigsaw Doll. Perfect for scaring any friend or possible intruder.

The Jigsaw Doll is an [art doll](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corazon-marikit-doll) created by an [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-cookie-cutters) member. The doll is 13" high, and his head, hands and shoes are sculpted from polymer clay. The Jigsaw Doll is well done--it looks scarily like the [horror star](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universal-studios-halloween-horror-nights) we have come to fear. My favourite part about this item is the description, and the warning note from the seller: "He is very durable but not intended to be a toy. Not intended for children."
