# Creepy Corpse Dolls Kamila Mlynarczyk Crafts Whimsical Victorian Toy Zombies By Jason Soy | Published 2012-02-25 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kamila-mlynarczyk References: [fuckyeahillustrativeart.tumblr](http://fuckyeahillustrativeart.tumblr.com/post/18209485661/kamila-mlynarczyk) & [woodedwoods.deviantart](http://woodedwoods.deviantart.com/) Giving a girl a doll resembling these Kamila Mlynarczyk creations will guarantee that she has nightmares well into her late-20s. After all, the bizarre designs of these [corpse-like playthings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito-artwork) looks so twisted that even most adults can’t handle having one anywhere near them. If you manage to get past your initial fear, however, you’ll discover wonderfully artistic crafts that Tim Burton would probably be jealous of. Canadian Kamila Mlynarczyk explains that she makes dolls as a naturally extension of her passion for drawing. Unsatisfied with leaving her doodles on a flat page, she soon resorted to clay sculpting to bring her characters to life. She often dresses her toys in Victorian clothing, and though they have macabre elements, the designs are actually quite whimsical and reflect a child-like imagination. If you dare to purchase one, Kamila Mlynarczyk sells her sculptures both on [eBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designercon) and [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etsy-1). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Whimsical Corpse Dolls:** Creating dolls with macabre elements and whimsical designs offers an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the toy industry. - **Victorian-inspired Toy Trends:** The popularity of dolls dressed in Victorian clothing presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion and collectibles industry. - **Artistic Dolls:** The demand for dolls that showcase artistic craftsmanship opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the art and craft industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Industry:** Creating unique and artistic dolls can disrupt the traditional toy market and attract a niche audience. - **Fashion Industry:** Designing dolls with Victorian-inspired clothing can disrupt the fashion industry and create a new trend in doll collectibles. - **Art and Craft Industry:** Sculpting dolls with intricate details and artistic designs can disrupt the art and craft market and appeal to art enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Charming Creepy Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deddy-bears.md) - [Mythological Two-Piece Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corazon-marikit-doll.md) - [Collectable Sculptural Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inedible-doll.md) - [Timber Tech-Packed Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-engineering-wooden-dolls.md) - [Creepy Severed Hand Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-thing.md) - [Whimsical Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-for-good.md) - [Spooky TV Series Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-addams-collection.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Flesh Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junji-ito.md) - [Glamorous Goth Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-high-skullector-elvira.md)
