Reborn Baby Dolls

Reborn dolls are highly realistic collectible dolls designed to replicate the look and feel of real newborns. Key characteristics include:

Artistic Process: Skilled "reborners" spend dozens of hours applying multiple layers of paint to recreate skin tones, veining, mottling, blushing, and other delicate details.

Lifelike Features: Details often include hand-rooted hair, manicured nails, and realistic moisture effects on lips, nostrils, and eyelids.

Weighted Body: Many dolls are weighted with materials like glass beads and fiberfill, giving a realistic heft and requiring head support like a real baby.

Materials: Most reborn dolls use high-quality vinyl or soft silicone, often combined with cloth bodies for added realism and softness.

The materials used in reborn dolls are chosen for realism, durability, and tactile appeal:

Vinyl: Smooth, sculptable vinyl forms the base for realistic features.

Silicone: Soft, flexible silicone or silicone-enhanced parts create lifelike touch and movement.

Hand-Painted Details: Multiple translucent layers of paint recreate newborn skin tones, while hand-rooted mohair or fine synthetic hair adds realism.

Weighted Bodies: Glass beads and fiberfill provide natural heft and motion.

Important Note: Ashton-Drake offers "reborn-like dolls" with many of the same realistic qualities—weighted bodies, soft vinyl, and hand-painted details—but at an accessible price. True reborn dolls by specialized artists can cost thousands of dollars, while our dolls provide beautiful realism at a collector-friendly value.
