Ukrainian Artist Creates the Most Realistic-Looking Ball-Jointed Dolls

Anastasia, a talented artist from the Ukraine, creates ball-jointed dolls so realistic-looking that you’d be forgiven for mistaking them for real, live girls.

The artist, who goes by “Elsyn” on Instagram, spends a lot of time making sure that every little detail on her amazing dolls is perfect. From the color of their skin, to the nails on their delicate fingers or the contour of their eyes and lips, they look nothing like the dolls you usually see on toy store shelves. But then again, these are not toys. For collectors, they are almost like living beings, and most of the people who get them end up naming them and making customs clothes for them as well.

The Kiev-based artist showcases her amazing creations on Instagram, but she sells them via other online platforms, like Etsy of Lavky. And her dolls are flying off the shelves as soon as they become available, as evidenced by the fact that no dolls are listed on her accounts as of this writing.

The prices for the detailed ball-jointed dolls is unclear, but judging by the amount of work and time that must go into each every one of them, I’d say the price should be in the upper hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.
