• In regards to the MerMan you have posted here, it's a movie prop that was sold off eBay about 3 years ago. I remember seeing the auction listed, I wanted to bid on it, but the price had gone into the thousands. He's got a web site that shows all of the things he makes, and the pictures you have here, were copied off of his web site. He specializes in Mermaid and Faerie art. The reason the one you see here looks so real is because he uses real taxidermy/stuffed fish to make his mermaid props. It tells how he makes them (including this one) right on his web site. He has an eBay account and when he gets done with them he sells them on eBay. The doll maker's name is Juan Cabana and his site is http://www.thefeejeemermaid.com/index.htm he has hundreds of mermaid and faerie dolls listed, a few are for sale, but most are already sold . Sorry to have to disappoint you.
