Many well known artists make these dolls, and their products sell for high prices. However, they're also among the highest quality, making them the best choice for collectors who have the ability to pay.

Of course, not everyone can afford to purchase a reborn doll from a well known name. The best choice then is to purchase a good quality doll made by someone who hasn't managed to establish a name yet. The work can be just as good as someone who's better known, and if so, that artist's work is going to get a lot more famous very quickly. You could luck into a beautiful, realistic doll at a fraction of the cost you'll pay in just a few years, and its value may go up.

If you're thinking about buying a reborn doll of your own, you'll need to consider a few things before you may a payment. Let's have a look at some factors that will influence the quality and longevity of a reborn doll. Choosing the right one will get you a beautiful doll at a good price. Just remember that not all artists are experienced, and some dolls are lower in quality. Asking these questions will help you find dolls that are made well.

What kind of paints are being used to create a realistic skin coloration on your doll? Heat set genesis pains are the most popular choice for people who want a really good result. This paint doesn't fade, rub off, or bleed. Ask for photographs that show the skin clearly and closely. That will tell you how well painted the doll is, and whether or not the paint is truly bonded, or just sitting on the surface.

Is the hair well rooted on an individual basis? In quality dolls, each hair will be inserted into the scalp, using a needle, rather than in large plugs. Once the hair is completely inserted, including eyelashes and eyebrows, the roots will be sealed using an adhesive. Wigs are also a possibility for reborn dolls, but they should be properly secured with good adhesives, and no visible edges should be present, to make the doll look more realistic.

What material is the body? Soft materials and vinyl are the most common choices, and they're generally painted, just like the other skin on the doll. They'll be weighted using glass beads or poly beads, and will often be filled with a soft batting. This allows them to weigh and be carried just like a real baby. You'll be surprised at how lifelike a good reborn doll really is.
