Heltonville, IN
Turner Dolls produces roughly 15,000 porcelain and vinyl dolls each year from a studio built on a 40‑acre farm in Heltonville, Indiana. The company was founded by Virginia Turner in 1981, who began sculpting in a basement before moving production to the farm, where she and her husband Boyce established their own molds and vinyl ovens. Turner Dolls designs its own clothing, offers a range of skin tones, and releases limited‑edition characters such as Red Riding Hood and Cinderella while engaging collectors through trade shows and the American International Toy Fair.
