What is a Reborn Doll and how is it made?A reborn doll is a doll that is individually / uniquely handmade by a reborn artist. These dolls are not like the mass production dolls; the artist creates each doll from a vinyl mold by painting several layers of heat set paint. While it may sound simple, it is all a very complex and detailed process. Each reborn doll typically takes an artist days, sometimes weeks to complete. These dolls are highly detailed to look and feel as close to a baby as can be. Everything from the veins to the fingertips is carefully painted and crafted by the artist. The hair rooting process is a very time-consuming aspect as well, as each hair is individually placed.
-
Why do reborn dolls cost so much?Each artist has their own way / style of creating, which makes each reborn baby special and unique in its own way. Prices factors typically depending on design, special features, the time of their labour involved, and the cost of the materials. Another important factor is whether the baby will have rooted hair, painted hair, or be bald. Rooting hair is extremely time consuming, and takes as much if not more time than the painting process - naturally, dolls with rooted hair will cost more. Everything from the eyes, hair, body, stuffing, weighted beads, paints, assembly, photography, clothing, packaging all cost time and money. I aways price the dolls as reasonably as possible for my customers so that more people are able to afford and enjoy a quality doll made with all of the same love and care put into its creation.

Who are reborn dolls for?These babies are not typically recommended as play dolls for young children, as they are delicately made and require care to be handled. However, lots of older children and teenagers love having these types of babies and know how to treat them responsibly. Of course, any aged child could have one; it is at your discretion whether your child is mature and gentle enough to handle the baby as they would a real one. They do make great gifts, for both children and adults. These dolls are not only for collectors and hobbyists, but also for their therapeutic value to their owners. Some people enjoy these dolls because they've suffered a miscarriage or the loss of a baby, and it gives them great comfort to have a realistic looking baby to hold. These babies have been used therapeutically in nursing homes for seniors, and for Alzheimer’s patients, who get great joy out of cuddling and holding an adorable realistic looking doll. People suffering with depression, anxiety, or other forms of mental illness also benefit greatly from the calming effect of cuddling and caring for these dolls. Of course, there are many people who love having reborn dolls simply for the fun and joy of it! Reborn dolls are cute, fun, and very relaxing to hold and adore...
-
Are these dolls made out of silicone?Of course not. Most reborn dolls are made out of soft vinyl limbs and head with a cloth body. Some dolls will include a vinyl "belly plate", however the plate is not attached to the body of the doll and is used typically for taking pictures. The cloth bodies is what make the babies soft and huggable, the vinyl is soft touch vinyl and has a realistic feel to it. Full body silicone dolls do exist; however, they are really expensive.
