Along with the audio recording of Log 285 and a tool box are two normal Doctor dolls next to a laid down broken Doctor that Arkham was possibly fixing, and a single shelf on the right. On said shelf is placed a guide book titled "Doll Making Volume IV" which he was seemingly using to help with the creation and deve
