 Kim Goodwin’s One-of-a-Kind custom Marilyn Monroe dolls

Using the Franklin Mint doll as a vinyl “form,” Kim strips it down to basics and starts fresh. He skillfully and meticulously adds hair, make-up, clothing and accessories specific to Marilyn’s character and costume in each film. He doesn’t sew, but brilliantly finds ways to approximate Marilyn’s original movie costumes.

These dolls are not for sale.
