Frustrated that he couldn’t find action figures<br />
for the TV and movie characters he loves,<br />
Jackson, Mississippi, illustrator Kyle Hilton decided<br />
to make his own dolls, like this one of Ryan Gosling<br />
as his Drive persona. “I grew up on action figures<br />
as a kid, and something about seeing a character<br />
personified by their most recognizable costumes<br />
and accessories was always the most exciting part<br />
about collecting them. So as an illustrator, and not<br />
much of a sculptor, that developed into this 2D<br />
paper doll format,” says Hilton.<br />
He’s created a large collection of dolls (which<br />
you can find at http://flannelanimal.tumblr.com/)<br />
that range from the cast of TV’s Parks and<br />
Recreation, Breaking Bad and Arrested Development<br />
to Chris Hemsworth in Thor. “I get really nice emails<br />
from time to time with pictures of the dolls cut<br />
out and sitting on someone’s desk, which is really<br />
awesome to see,” says Hilton. —MW
