We make look-alike mannequins of existing and historical persons. We base our design on photos and paintings. The life-size display figures are very similar, but a 100% similarity based on images alone is unlikely. In the right decor and with the right attributes it becomes clear to every spectator who is meant. Fun fact: Even the celebrities sometimes lose their own look-alike contest. According to wikipedia, Dolly Parton has lost a ‘Dolly Parton Look-Alike Contest’.
