It is more correct to say, "There are more dolls."
However, in practice, is it not uncommon to hear the contraction "there's" used even with plural subjects, because there is no formally recognized plural equivalent contraction, "There're???"
So, someone who recognizes that "There is more dolls," is clearly wrong, might still say, "There's more dolls," especially
