Collectors don't normally care enough about what's inside their doll's bodies to go digging, but curious kids will often perform a little surgery on their plushies and dollies just to see what they're made of.

They slice it open to find fluff, pellets or some other sort of filling, if anything at all, but imagine their surprise if they cut open a doll and discovered a tiny fantasy world inside.

These utterly fantastic dolls created by fantasy dollmaker Mari Shimizu are beautiful in every way, from their perfect paint jobs to the mysterious and creepy scenes playing out in their innards.
