Artist Repaints Mass-Produced Dolls To Make Them Look More Realistic, And The Result Is Amazing
Some people might say that dolls are kids' toys and nothing more. But incredible artists creating lifelike dolls can change the minds of the harshest critics.
Noel Cruz is one of those people. The Filipino artist, currently working in the USA, repaints regular cute dolls making them into real one-of-a-kind pieces of art.
He has transformed many simple dolls giving them realistic faces of famous people and characters. Noel's repainted dolls are done with intricate detail to the point of being naturally lifelike in essence. These realistic dolls are sold as collectors' items and are wildly popular.
Take a look at some of the "before-after" doll repaint images and be amazed by the talent of Noel Cruz.

Emma Watson
the artist sometimes changes the bodies to make the dolls more realistic, what is most important to him is a shape of the head. with this one he explained it all on his facebook page.

The original one is by far the worst "look-alike" doll I have ever seen.
What do you mean "the original doll"? There's only one doll and real Emma.

I bought a doll for $231 on eBay she looks very real but I smoked and now there's black on her face I'm trying to get her back to where she look real can you do this for me and how much do you cost
Disney should be ashamed of themselves for mass-producing those horrid dolls!
wow looks like someone took a real picture and put it on the face... ssoooo realistic!!!
I've seen this doll hundreds of times and noticed how horrible she looks...the repaint looks exactly like her! Wow.
You are an amazing artist. You set the bar my friend nd you set it high! Great work

Errr.. the hair is different on the right "doll". I've got serious doubts that this is what it says it is.

The first one wasn't horrible but the second gave her face more dimension

Every time I see the "1st" doll of her, I think I would be offended by it if I were her!
Princess Diana
Selena
Emily Browning
Love them both thefactory actually did a good job unlike bell which looks creepy
Angelina Jolie
Except the face is too short on the doll itself.. they definitely never got her headshape right
Ben Affleck
OK, that's a tough one to nail! Since all that's visible is his chin. This is why, while he's a great batman...his disguise sucks. You can clearly see it's Affleck behind that coil!!!
Elle Fanning
Jean Harlow
Elizabeth Taylor
Kristen Stewart
Vivien Leigh
In the first one, her face shape is more her but the 2nd one has more details, esp. the eyes.
Emma Watson
He's def got Watson down. The face shape isn't as good as the Belle doll...but the paint is beautiful.

I SO wanted to be Jaime Sommers when I was little. She looks just like I remember.
Madonna
The before is just a Barbie with a beauty mark. They're not even trying.
Amy Winehouse
I don't think the first one was supposed to be her.I think it is just some miscellaneous doll that was repurposed to look like her.
Karlie Kloss
Whitney Houston
Audrey Hepburn
Awwww she was so beautiful. What a sweet and innocent looking lady she was.

They are photos. They are photos. They are photos....of dolls. You mean to say: They look like photos of the real person.

Where is the video, because I don't believe this isn't photoshopped?

It's Zombie Boy, not Skull boy. These are very good though.
I don't believe this esp after that 2nd wonder woman one that started out with plastic moulded hair suddenly had real flowy hair....
If you look at some of them, you can see the artist replaced the hair as well.
Load More Replies... This man is just awesome with what he does. It's amazing how he is able to capture not only the looks of these people, but their personalities as well and that, is the work of a true artist.
The best compliment I can think of is that during the first few pages, I kept having to remind myself that it wasn't pics of the doll next to pics of the living people who the doll was supposed to be.. A lot of these are amazing! I don't know how we had masters in the past such as Van Gogh and Michaelangelo, modern people who can do things like this, and yet every freaking portrait in the middle ages made everyone look like the love child of Mr Potato Head and Mrs Butterworth...
I know how hard it is to repaint dolls, this guy really's got a huge talent!
OMG! I thought I was looking at a photo of Emma Watson! These dolls really look life-like. Great job! Does he do this for other people?
I thought the Emma Watson doll actually was her when it was finished. I thought a photograph of her had been put up to compare with the doll! What an amazing artist. I have always thought the mass produced dolls were rubbish as they never look like who they are supposed to.
A lot of these are showing a completely different doll for the "before." Emma Watson's has different hair and collar bones that aren't visible in the before.
Carrie Fisher and Joan Crawford need work but most of these dolls are amazing!
I'd say 98-99% of these end up looking like THE actual person!! Now if only he did the body too you'd never know you were looking at a photo of a doll.
The artist re-done dolls are really amazing. It's much easier to make a doll look more realistic if you are doing one make-over at a time. The mass produced dolls are not bad looking, they just don't have a lot of time spent on each one.
Tree Change Dolls is a wonderful company wherein a lady changes dolls, for instance, the Bratz dolls to make them look natural and the profits goes to help childrens charities.
I'm sceptical. Some are clearly a repainted doll, but others are too different, there must be some kind of Photoshop involved.
This guy is pretty famous in the doll collector world. It's not photoshop. Some of the backgrounds might be, but not the doll itself.

Finally, a doll that actually is similar. The Disney dolls do not look like alike.
Watched the video. IDK, at 6:02 hes painting pink lips and the rest of the face is not fully painted and it suddenly jumps at 6:09 to the head with no pink lips and incredible facial detail. Something is fishy here. Seems like kind of an important part to skip over considering how long he shows the unboxing?
