Release the doll in a limited edition. Living Dead Dolls, creators of plastic creations like the Eggzorcist, Lizzie Borden and designs based on the Seven Deadly Sins, offer a different series every year. After the dolls sell out, the company marks them ̶0;laid to rest̶1; and stops production. This ensures that the dolls remain a coveted item for collectors.
Sculpt highly original, one of a kind goth creatures. Doll artists often fashion wildly imaginative ghost girls, unusual babies, vampires and other nocturnal characters as unique handmade creations. Doll makers use a variety of materials, such as glass, vinyl, porcelain or plush, and dress these dolls in satin, fake fur, feathers or other colorful items. Etsy.com, doll maker websites and other craft sites sell unique collectible Goth dolls.
Fashion your own version of a goth Barbie doll. Using the universal 11-inch tall glamor mannequin design (or one a bit taller or shorter), you can add different exotic hairdos, smudged eyeliner, flowing gowns or other goth formulas to give your doll a catwalk model allure.
Gather cloth, plush and other textiles to make a goth kiddie doll. This creates a collectible toy that̵7;s appropriate for kids as well as adults--as long as the creature̵7;s not too scary-looking for the little ones. BeGoth Collectibles sells plush dolls with names like ̶0;Frown the Clown̶1; and ̶0;Dusty Rags.̶1;
Borrow design ideas from anime and comic book characters. Collectible goth anime dolls combine elements of fashion or glam dolls and Japanese anime. They may be male or female figures, but feature the disproportionately large eyes introduced by Japanese animation.
Take advantage of a trendy goth or horror-oriented pop culture figure. This could be something as silly as ̶0;Batboy̶1; from the old tabloid covers, or as sinister as a movie serial killer character.
