On the creepiness scale of 1 to 10, this one ranks about a 12.

A 50-year-old businessman spent £15,000 to have a sex shop fashion a sex doll in the likeness of his deceased lover. The process took 18 months and dozens of photos, but the end result was a 58 kg exact replica of the man’s girlfriend.

But as far as sex dolls go, this one would be considered “high end.” Besides having the same facial features and body shape of the woman, the doll has a titanium skeleton with articulating joints, genuine blond hair, and life-like “skin.”

‘It’s the most expensive doll we have ever sold but don’t think it is your traditional inflatable sex toy,’ said Diego Bortolin, of Tentazioni sex shop in Treviso, north Italy.

While the grieving customer remains anonymous, he was apparently pleased with Bortolin’s creation.

And hey, once he gets over the grieving process, he can use his new sex doll to let him drive in the carpool lane.
