How much does a reborn doll cost?
The price varies hugely. You can find some really high quality items around the $200 mark but equally people can pay up to $20000 depending on the doll. There are also bargains out there for those who watch the auctions carefully. Sometimes really beautiful models can be picked up cheap that only need a little cleaning to bring them back to life.

Can they move or talk?
Normally, no. It's not something that most people require. There are however some dolls which may make a crying sound and some have fake tears. You may also find dolls that can have wet pee nappies. Of course, they don't actually drink milk.

Are reborn babies all made of silicone?
Yes, pretty much. Most are full body silicone. This way they will last and can be easily customised. Vinyl reborn dolls are also becoming one of the choices in the market due to the durability and varying difficulty factor of the artistic process. The price of full-body silicone babies remained high until Dollreborns® revolutionized silicone technology to obtain a full-body silicone baby option at an acceptable price!

Some date it back to the late thirties. This was a time when more of an effort began to be made to make dolls look realistic. The popularity of these items as we know them today really began to take off at the start of this century.

Bigger companies have been getting in on the act over the years but it is largley still a home grown home made industry.

The dummy/pacifier keeps falling out of the mouth?
This is a problem we often hear. You should buy or make a doll which has a magnet behind the mouth. This will hold it in place.

What about hair styling?
