I thought at first that it could be stillborn or aborted babies preserved through plastination. Such an idea would be really sick. Unloved and rejected infants murdered by their parents being sold as toys to children.
That idea does not hold. First of all, these are mass produced. Secondly, not all of the dolls look totally lifelike. The real explanation is that manufacturing has come a long way since dolls were shaped by sculpting parts and assembling them. Such dolls were stylized and looked like an artist's impression of a baby.
The selling point of these dolls is that, facially and bodily, they are anatomically correct and made to correspond to the rapid changes in body-shape during early infancy.
