Filipino doll artist HeXtian is bringing local folklore to life through a striking new creation — a manananggal-inspired doll.
The manananggal is a famous creature in Philippine mythology, known for separating its upper body and flying into the night with bat-like wings. HeXtian’s custom doll captures this eerie legend through detailed craftsmanship and creativity.
The doll features a detachable torso, dramatic makeup, bat wings, and dark, gothic fashion elements. Each piece is handmade, making it one-of-a-kind.
Beyond its spooky look, the doll highlights Filipino culture and artistry on a global stage. It celebrates local mythology through modern design while showing HeXtian’s skill in turning folklore into collectible art.
