I just learned of Amicus Dolls today from a post on Prego by Ori. She posted a group of these dolls and I was impressed by their realism.
The owner of Amicus dolls is Alena Amicus. Her stated vision is as follows:
I create articulated human-like dolls (ball jointed dolls). My addiction is to show the human’s body beauty, that’s why I concentrate on flexibility of my dolls as well as on the realistic sculpting.
Different methods are used in my work: development in 3D programs, hand sculpting, manufacturing in different materials, such as porcelain, photopolymers and polyurethane.
She was awarded the 2022 Dolls Awards of Excellence Industry's Choice Awards. Many of her various portfolios are posted which show you the broad range of talent Alena has.
The website was complex to me at first as I was totally unfamiliar with her methods of pre-orders, extra parts, digital files and the names of her characters. You can order a digital file of full figures or mannequins and various body parts such as heads, faceplates, hands, feet and eyes. Examples shown here.
There are a few dolls available to ship - very few. You have to watch for her announcements and posted dates for doll availability. That's pretty normal for specialized, highly sought after dolls.
She does not take orders for clothes or wigs as she wants to concentrate on making dolls only. But she does provide an international list of doll artists.
Here is a picture of her Kiddos dolls. Keep in mind that they are sold nude.
A pre-order period for these Kiddos begins on August 22, 2025
34cm and 32cm tall. (Boys 13.39" and Girls 12.6")
This is one of her Urban Legend Dolls (44cm or 17.32" tall)
There is so much more. Take a look for yourself.
