Denver, Colorado-based artist David Foox has created a peculiar collection of [organ donor dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wednesday-thing).

These bizarre creations were inspired by his Uncle's double lung transplant. Foox designed the dolls with different organs as heads; the dolls are available in 24 different colors. Definitely a [rare and unusual collectible item](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-top).

Obviously created to mock self-generated health conditions, these toys include the Smoker's Lungs, [Pickled Liver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-mart-chucky) and Black Market Kidney doll, just to name a few.

**Implications** - While many individuals within society may opt to cover up their quirky or eccentric personalities, there are some who relish in expressing these characteristics. These individuals will find unusual products very appealing as they will most likely complement their own unique individuality.
