Jason Freeny is an artist known for his artwork and toys that have a particular anatomical skew to them, and the creative recently teamed up with Adam Tan and Mighty Jaxx to create a series of Justice League dolls that present the popular superheroes with partially dissected bodies. The toys feature a two-sided design that displays the heroes as their iconic shelves and then also as anatomical skeletons.
The figurines showcase a side of the heroes often not seen in comic books and films -- one that explores the mortality of their characters. The figurines showcase the core Justice League characters such as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman as four inch plastic dolls with half of their body rendered as a skeleton. While one side of the doll showcases the hero in costume, the other shows their organs and bone mass for an added unconventional perspective.
