Isn't just the proudest thing you've ever heard? A doll that has the face of Angelina Jolie, admired the world over was made by a Filipino artist. Now that is just brilliant and something to be proud of. I read about the doll first on Reuters and thought, "Wow that's nice."
But as I continued to look it up, the name Noel Cruz jumped up and then I began reading about him being Filipino. I think that's awesome.
The doll doesn't have Angelina's tattoos but you can have it added for a fee if you're interested in buying, the doll also has a couple of wigs. It was sold on eBay for more than three thousand dollars and rumor has it that another one sold for two thousand pounds. Not bad at all.
Noel Cruz is famous though for these kinds of dolls. He has done dolls of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Tobey Maguire, Daniel Craig, Christopher Reeve, Keira Knightley, Kirsten Dunst, Nicole Kidman, Celine Dion, Annie Lennox, Julie Andrews, Vivien Leigh and many more.
He's just brilliant I tell you!
Imagine how small those dolls are (2½ inch by 2 inch) and to be able to get to that much detail and precision is just not something you learn. That has got to be a talent you're born with.
Noel Cruz's work can be found here. Filipinos all over the world can be so proud. Some of his other work includes:
Kirsten Dunst - this is a very nice replica as well, just look at her facial features
There are guy dolls too. Check out Daniel Craig
