Doll fetish is a transformation fetish of being transformed into a doll, or transforming someone else into a doll. Doll fetishism is often played out as a role play between two or more people.

The "doll" is often a female or male dressed to look like a perfect little Barbie doll shape. i.e. bold hair, enhanced breasts, small waist (normally from a very tight corset), high heels and a very revealing outfit made from rubber, latex or spandex.

Elements of objectification maybe be involved as the unique characteristics of the individual are minimized in favor of uniform features.

Virtual worlds offer unique opportunities for exploring this fetish, where individuals are represented by modifiable avatars. Players can adorn themselves with plastic appearing skin, stereotypical hair and costumes, even going so far as to remove all distinguishing characteristics from other dolls in the environment and being identified by number instead of name.
