Review: Very realistic newborn baby doll - My granddaughter has
been sighing over "reborn" baby dolls but the price tags are
hefty! I found this doll and the Asian girl doll (on this same
page) and bought both. They are even more adorable than in the
pictures! These dolls are anatomically correct (the male doll is
uncircumcised) and have all of the folds and creases that you'd
see on a real, newborn baby. The entire doll is made of vinyl -
no cloth body - so it's a sturdy doll and can handle being
"loved" by a young child. The vinyl is not soft and squishy,
though. It's fairly hard but the shape is such that it's easy to
cuddle. All of the hair and features are painted on. The arms and
legs and head can be turned. The eyes do not open and close. They
do not eat or pee. These are simple, beautifully made dolls that
are meant to be cuddled, dressed and undressed, dragged
everywhere, slept with and played with by girls and boys alike.
The dolls come with a terry cloth diaper that has velcro tabs for
closure, an umbilicus band, a hospital wrist band, and a birth
certificate. Interestingly, the Asian girl doll also came with a
baby bottle but the boy doll did not. Some super small, Preemie
size clothing fit well on these dolls. I also found some outfit
sets made specifically for these dolls on Ebay that included a
romper, T-shirt, another diaper, a diaper cover, a hat and
booties at a very reasonable price. These dolls are very
realistic looking and I discovered that they are often used by
artists that "reborn" them. Reborning is a technique where dolls
are carefully painted to have the natural skin colors of a real
baby. They often add hand rooted hair, too. There are special
paints called Genesis paints that are heat set to be extremely
durable. While these dolls do have painted features, they do not
have painted nail beds or mottled skin tone or blushing in the
creases as the "reborn" babies do so I bought some Genesis paints
to paint the nails and the lips a little deeper color and add
blushing to the knees and elbows and creases. I'm no artist so I
did not attempt all over skin tone, but it came out very well. I
watched many of the videos on YouTube that show you exactly how
to do it. Understand that these dolls are perfectly adorable just
the way they come. I only added more hand painted detail because
my granddaughter is almost 7 and has been longing for a reborn
doll so I decided to attempt to make the dolls more like the ones
she has been wanting. Otherwise, buy this doll and maybe a pack
of preemie diapers and a couple of outfits and a receiving
blanket and your child will be absolutely thrilled! UPDATE: I
gave these dolls to my granddaughter for her birthday and she
takes them everywhere! Even at her birthday party, everyone
wanted to hold them. They look so real and their backs are curved
like a real newborn so they nestle perfectly into the curve of
your arm. Real preemie diapers fit perfectly. My granddaughter
has bathed these babies several times - an activity she gets a
kick out of. I think these are the best dolls I have ever
purchased.
Review: Grandkids LOVE this doll! - This is a nice quality,
realistic boy doll that I bought for my 3 grandsons - ages 4, 6 &
8. I usually get them something new to play with when they visit,
and when I came across him and he was so cute, I thought I’d give
them something different besides dinosaurs and the usual fare and
dolls are good for teaching empathy and encouraging caring for
other babies. He is anatomically correct, and they laughed
hysterically over that, they had so much fun for hours they
bathed, powdered, diapered, dressed and swaddled, held and rocked
him, gave him “magic bottles” (from Dollar General), burped him,
pretended he was crying and comforted him. They had so much fun
that they each wanted their own doll, so I ran out to buy 2 more
similar dolls (my little guy cried because he didn't have his own
baby to put in the bath!). I had purchased the doll with the
intent to keep it at my house for when they visit, but I sent all
of them home with them:). This is such a great toy for boys or
girls, and would also be a great therapy doll for depression,
anxiety, autism, elderly, Alzheimer’s, etc. Great for gifting or
keeping!
