Surreal Celebrity Action Figures

The Pucherito 'Art Duritos' Collection is Incredibly Realistic

— June 20, 2012 — Art & Design
These life-like dolls called Art Duritos by Pucherito are incredibly realistic imitations of popular celebrities and public figures. They are made out of wood, and then hand painted to create exceptional detail. From the Beatles to Albert Einstein and even Steve Jobs, each doll is remarkably realistic.

This type of toy is catered to a mature audience as opposed to younger kids, due to its delicate nature. Also, the characters portrayed may not be as easily identifiable to a child. The dolls would make for great collector's items, and are great for gift-giving as well.

These action figures are quite distinct from other dolls on the market due to their tall and lanky body structure, and hand-drawn facial features.
