This Woman Is A "Mother" To 300 Plastic Dolls And Used Her Family's Hair To Make Some Of Them

Meet Marilyn Mansfield and her incredible doll collection.

Here's Marilyn Mansfield, 36, with a pram. And in that pram is – not a baby.

The pram contains a doll. One of the 300 ultra-realistic dolls she owns.

She cares for them like they're her own children. No, really.

She went on to say: "My instinct is to cuddle them, mother them, take care of them - that just comes natural for me."

There are dolls all over her home in Staten Island, which she shares with her husband Zoth, 40, son Damien, 10, and daughter Skylar, 15.

She's even used her son's hair to make the dolls.

Her husband's totally cool with it.

Not too sure how daughter Skylar feels.

Anyway, that's the story of Marilyn Mansfield and her incredible doll collection!

Here's a video all about them.
