An Introduction to Buying and Making Reborn Babies

If you have ever seen a professionally made Reborn Baby and wanted to own or make one we hope to provide the necessary information here. With advice taken from Professional Reborn Baby Artists, Sculptors, Collectors and Sellers, you too can own, or even make, the most realistic and original fake baby doll.

Does High Quality Always Mean High Price?

Some of the usual Price Vs Quality arguments do apply to buying a Reborn Baby, though it is advisable to research a little before purchase.
There are a number of top artists making Reborn Dolls that always sell for top dollars. If money is no object it is best to find these and pay the price. We will feature a few of the top artists below with examples of their work.

If money is a factor there are a lot of new and upcoming artists that are making Reborns to a very high standard which have yet to earn their reputation, yet the work is just as good. So it is always worth looking at work by less well known artists and examining their creations carefully. You never know you could pick up an early work by a future prize winner for a fraction of the price of those that have won the prizes and turned professional.

Buying Tip #1

*Paint should be cured and not be removable with a slightly damp cloth
