Two Duch Dolls in the Blazing World.
The Dutch Dolls are living, wooden dolls that resemble women. There are several of them living in the Blazing World. The two most well known ones are Peg and Sarah Jane, who serve the Galley-Wag on board of his balloon, the Rose of Nowhere. They were given to him by Frankenstein's Monster when the Galley-Wag visited Toyland, and choose to work for him because they find him sexually attractive.
The Dutch Dolls are seen in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier and in Minions of the Moon.
Source material[]
The Dutch Dolls were created by Florence Kate Upton and appear in the children's book The Adventures of Two Dutch Dolls and a Golliwog. The Dolls seen in LoEG are heavily sexualized versions of the characters from the book.
