Oili Varpy is a Russian doll maker who has a love of Mogwai creatures from Gremlins. But she also adores horror movies (and all things pop culture). She merges her love of these two things by handcrafting some of the cutest, most incredible figures on this side of NECA. Her attention to detail is absolutely incredible and she manages to keep the cuteness of the Mogwai while still making them menacing and recognizable. Remember she is creating these icons in their pre-gremlin form.

Before you go any further, we must issue a WARNING: There are many scams on social media that exploit Varpy’s craft and offer to sell these dolls for almost pennies. These companies are swindlers that show up in your social media feeds and offer to sell you items that you never get once your payment goes through. You will also know they are scams because Varpy’s creations range from $200 – $450. In fact, it can take up to almost a year for her to complete a piece.

Not to worry, we can ogle her work from our desktops as we browse through her collection for free. Still, she deserves some praise. So if you can afford one of her pieces hit her up, or just head over to her Instagram and give her a follow or a word of encouragement.

We will provide all of her legitimate info in links at the end of this article.
