Reborn Baby Dolls: Fake Babies Or Real Lifelike Dolls?

Reborn Baby Dolls: Fake Babies Or Real Lifelike Dolls?

 

Reborn Baby Dolls

 


Reborn Dolls, however people would intend to name them, fake babies or real baby Dolls, they stay as dolls. But as these dolls were thoroughly crafted with hardwork and passion, Reborn artists and doll enthusiasts alike decline to furnish them the title fake babies.

Reborn Baby Dolls: Fake Babies Or Real Lifelike Dolls?

Reborn Baby Dolls: Fake Babies Or Real Lifelike Dolls?

Anybody calling them that name would certainly encounter a mob of angry reborn doll fanatics. Even if it is somewhat true, the term fake is not good to be used for these baby dolls, merely because it expresses mockery, imitation and crime. Calling these dolls fake expresses travesty to the artist's ingenuity and efforts. Would it not anger you, if your beloved doll is given some names you hate to hear?

Moreover, every reborn artist would profess that, no two reborn baby dolls are the same. Thus, no forgery or imitation has been done as they crafted their creations. Each doll is carefully washed, painted, mottled, accessorized and assembled to become reborn. They are garbed and christened with names. Human names that the reborners believe are perfect for them. These newly reborn baby dolls are also provided with birth certificates to support sponsorship papers. Literally, these dolls are cared for like human babies.

As the level of creativity and realism become more extensive, reborn babies become more valuable. Reborn doll makers feel that these babies have big roles to accomplish in their lives and in the lives of their future foster parents. Some reborn babies are deliberately hand-crafted for mothers who have just lost a baby, or to mothers who wanted to have one. Others make use of reborns to care for patients having deMentia and Alzheimer's.

Even more significant is the level of joy and satisfaction that these dolls express to their owners. When you hand a little girl, her own baby doll "sister", you merely can't take the smile off her face. She'll be overjoyed to have it and treasure it for the rest of her life.

Moreover, if you present sick grandma, a sweet and cheerful reborn baby doll, she'll pamper it as if the baby is one amongst her many offspring. If she can no longer recall your face, at least she remembers your name, which she gives to the real baby doll on her arms.

There is nothing alarming for something that has been crafted with love and passion. Reborn dolls are not fake babies. They're real baby dolls that anyone would love to have and care for.

Collectible Dolls - Cabbage Patch Kids

Collectible Dolls - Cabbage Patch Kids


In this series of articles on collectible Dolls we're going to start by reviewing one of the most famous collectible Dolls of all time, the Cabbage Patch Kids.

Collectible Dolls - Cabbage Patch Kids

If you're old, or maybe even not that old, you remember the Cabbage Patch Kids. What you probably don't know is what happened to these once hot items that have all but disappeared.

The first Cabbage Patch Kids were created by a man by the name of Xavier Roberts. He began making his dolls through his very own Babyland General Hospital in Cleveland, Georgia in the year 1979. His "sales" pitch was to display the dolls in kind of a hospital like setting and putting up a sign saying that they were "up for adoption". He made these dolls look like real babies. Needless to say, they were an immediate hit and people couldn't get enough of them. When Coleco toy company saw what a hit they were, they bought the rights to them from Roberts in 1982. In 1988 when Coleco filed for bankruptcy, Hasbro took over production of the Cabbage Patch Kids. Mattel then took over production in 1994 and then finally in 2004 Play Along Toys and 4kids EntertainMent took over making these things.

Your standard Cabbage Patch Kid was about 15 or 16 inches in height. However, as time went by these dolls were made in a variety of styles and sizes. At any one period of time there may have been as many as a dozen different styles and sizes of Cabbage Patch Kids in production. The dolls that Roberts himself made were all Cloth with Cloth sculptured faces. The dolls that were made by the toy companies had Cloth bodies but vinyl heads so that they would stand up to more wear and tear. When Hasbro took over they started making all vinyl dolls but eventually when the dolls were made again in 2004 they went back to the Cloth body and vinyl head..

Unfortunately, after the initial craze and the mass marketing that followed, Cabbage Patch Kid popularity really fizzled after the 80s. There were just too many out there and the novelty was gone. Originally it was expected that the value of these dolls would someday reach astronomical proportions. But the oversaturated market and the eventual easy access to these dolls have made them virtually worthless today, though some of the very early dolls can still bring in a nice price on Ebay. Later models, however, won't bring in much.

Part of the problem was that as the dolls started to gain in popularity the manufacturer of the time tried all kinds of gimmicks with the dolls instead of sticking with the original concept of a simple baby doll Dressed in baby clothes that needed to be adopted. The newer dolls were no longer sweet, huggable and adoptable. The dolls that were reintroduced in 2004 went back to the original concept but by that time it was just too late. The Cabbage Patch Kid craze was pretty much dead.

Bratz, Barbie and Liv make way for the Monster High range of dolls. They are way too cool and a bit freaky at the same time.

The adults might wonder what all the rage is about but the tweens and teens can't get enough of them. Even the little ones can get a plush version so they don't miss out of the fun factor.The dolls are cute, fabulously fashionable and I think a pretty good idea given all the girly interest in vampires and werewolves nowadays.

The Monster High ghouls come in super fab packaging and are larger than the Bratz dolls, standing at 10 ½ inches tall. The dolls are very slim looking, however I discovered the Clothing from Bratz dolls will fit the Monster High ghouls. It seems the hands and the forearms pop out at the elbow for really easy reDressing, if you have very small children around, pick up one of the scarily delightful plushies instead. Each come with their favorite outfit and a scary cool pet and are very soft and super cuddly. The Fearbook journal is an essential accessory to have, along with the Icoffin and tote bag, the list goes on.

Lets meet the characters. There's Deuce Gorgon with his super cool snakehawk and Sunglasses to keep from turning his friends to stone. He comes with his double tailed pet rat named Perseus and he's the son of Medusa.

His girlfriend is Cleo de Nile, daughter of The Mummy and an Egyptian Princess. She is the mean girl at Monster High and captain of the fearleading squad. She comes with a purse and her pet Cobra named Hisette.

Then there's: Frankie Stein, daughter of Frankenstein and his bride. She's only 15 days old and comes with her pet Watzit, which is made from several animals. Draculaura, daughter of Count Dracula, she is a vegetarian and comes with her pet bat named Count Fabulous. Clawdeen Wolf, daughter of The Wolfman and who comes with a purse and her kitten Crescent. Then to round out the bunch, there is Lagoona Blue, daughter of The Sea Monster and friend to everyone. She's the surfer girl and comes with her pet Neptuna.

The latest additions to the range are the Dawn of the Dance series consisting Cleo de Nile, Frankie Stein and Clawdeen wolf. Plus Goulia Yelps, Holt Hide and Gloom Beach doll sets. All come with their own gorgeous accessories and stand.

The Monster High dolls are part of Mattel's new franchise targeting tweens and teenagers. About to join the successful animated series will be a live action feature film. Universal pictures have just acquired the rights to produce the movie. It will be adapted to the big screen by Smallville producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The following was quoted on themovieblog.com:-

"Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are developing MONSTER HIGH the movie for Universal Pictures. They will write the script for the live action musical movie described as Beetlejuice meets The Addams Family and it will feature "famous monsters including Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman undergoing the trials and tribulations of high school."

Can't wait for the invasion to begin!

Dolls, Figurines and the Value of Role Play

Dolls, Figurines and the Value of Role Play


What is it that girls ' Dolls and boys ' figurines have in common? Admittedly they both have heads, arms and legs, and look vaguely but not enTirely human. Girls ' Dolls tend to be about a foot in height at least, whereas most boys ' figurines are around six inches tall. There doesn't appear to be any particular reason for this height discrepancy apart from the physical requireMents that girls ' Dolls have, in that they tend to wee, whereas boys ' toys tend to carry guns, which can be made into miniatures as they tend not to work, requiring the boy in question to Supply the necessary sound effects and explosive consequences.

Dolls, Figurines and the Value of Role Play

The answer is that they both help children to develop their role playing experiences and opportunities, and as such, are a hugelyvaluable toy in developing children's awareness of themselves as individuals and the makeup of the world around them. Children need to practice role play, and are doing so almost the whole time, whether you are aware of it or not. Their mimicry of you as an adult is a form of role play, their use of dolls or figurines to act out situations, conflicts, opportunities or groups is also a valuable role play exercise.

It is often in opportunities such as these that children have the freedom to try out new ways of approaching situations, see things from the other person's perspective and understand that the other person even has a perspective at all. Children and adults, usually learn better by doing, rather than merely observing. Having said that, children are excellentobservers. Once they observe a situation, whether in real life, on television or in a book, children take on board the ideas, the characters and the conflicts, and mull them over in their heads. They will quite happily Dress up as their favorite characters and prance about with a colander on their head, a pAir of shorts draped over their shoulders and a wooden spoon in their hand, bravely taking on the might of the linen bin monster who is lurking at the top of the stAirs.

But these games should not be dismissed as merely childish. To the child, everything is very much more real than we adults can appreciate, and children often learn valuable ideas in such situations as these-especially when they are playing in a group. Sets of figurines, in particular, lend themselves very wellto group play, and if they are based on a particular television show or book, then all the better.

It is when children play in a group at role play that people's roles are discussed and defined, and the rules laid down. Whether this is as themselves as the characters, or with their dolls or figurines, they will have a firm understanding of their roles, and the rules before the game begins. Teams are formed, a strategies devised, conquests achieved and lessons learnt. They don't realize it, of course, and the moMent you congratulate them all on such a fine educational learning experience they'll probably sell their dolls and figurines and take up macrame instead.

The Importance of Imagination

The Importance of Imagination


With children and their developMent, nothing is more important than imagination to help with the growth of thought processes and creativity. Children that are able to get away from it all and place themselves Mentally, in another world are more likely to be able to think "outside the box" and produces more creative results when learning and working. For this reason, the importance of imagination cannot be underestimated and should be encouraged when raising children.

The Importance of Imagination

Parents know the importance of curiosity in children. Curiosity holds an important place in the minds of kids because it helps provide them with the will to explore objects and places that they do not know. Children become curious from a very young age and begin to wonder about various notions in this broaduniverse, but it is imagination that helps carry the child beyond the boundaries of imagination and into a new world of discovery.

It is imagination that begins to develop and occupy a very vital place in a child's Mental world. With imagination, a child can move mountains, transport himself to a distant world, make himself smaller or larger, or disappear from sight. Imagination allows children to form new ideas and explore old ideas, all at once. For children with more to escape in their unfortunate realities, such as abuse victims or children with separated parents, imagination plays an even more critical role in development as it aids with coping.

Promoting Imagination

As parents, it is critical to promote imagination through various activities and ideas. Exposechildren to fantasy worlds through books and television shows. Discuss these ideas together and explore your children's ideas. Don't judge them for the ideas they think of, but rather explore them together and ask questions to promote more thought through imagination. This will help children flesh out and solidify ideas through their imagination, leading to the building blocks of creative thinking.

In today's world, having imagination is more important than ever. Jobs are being filled with people with creative thinking skills that can get things done. News reports are filled with terrible items that can create feelings of fear, despAir and hopelessness. Imagination offers not only a release and an escape from the world, but also a new ability to think and create within it. Theskills that come about as a result of a working imagination are infinite in number.

When children get scared, it is important to show them compassion and belonging. This can be accomplished through the use of imagination at play. Doll houses, miniature worlds, board games, role-playing games, or even a simple tent in the backyard can promote imagination in small children as they are influenced through the limitless boundaries of the creative world.

Surprisingly, there has been a sustained advertising campaign aimed at popularizing the Monster High Dolls. Additionally, several festivals take place in sets to all the coming Fridays, with special emphasis being put on the 13th. This is a new concept inthe market, and analysts have observed a silent departure from the usual approach where a doll is introduced into the market, the success evaluated and then the subsequent introduction of other related products. A scrutiny of some of the characters reveals Dracula, who faints at the sight of blood, Dolley, who spends most of her time shaving and plucking her Fast growing hAir and Frankenstein, who loves shopping for cute, scary Clothes.

The move to introduce these characters in the market has seen the manufacturer ventures into video production. You can buy an individual character in contrast to purchasing the whole set. Unless the person for whom they are intended is well versed into with some of the characters, it might be scary for them in the end. Perhaps this is the mainreason the manufacturer has advised that the toys be for those aged above six or eight years.

Complete with the aura of scary haunting habits, these toys have different components amongst them diaries, hAirbrushes and Clothes. Therefore, this gives the owner the freedom to Dress their characters the way they deem fit. Worth noting also is the fact that some of the components such as the messenger bags, coffins and many more can be bought on their own. Clearly, if you do not have a thing for weary stuff you might not need such toys.

At the young age of 21 brilliant, Xavier Roberts created the first original cabbage patch kid and "adopted" it out for $ 40.00. As a new entrepreneur, the artist consolidated his sculpting and his love for quilting abilities he learned from his mother to produce one of America's most popular Dolls in history. Most likely, the most ingenious idea yet was how Xavier went about marketing his product. Rather than using the traditional term in selling and purchasing toys, he incorporated the theme of adoption into the halls of his items. With this new twist of adoption, the purchase encompassed a new meaning. The parents and children alike sought out the emotional value behind a child in need of a home.

The materials for these parts are usually vinyl or synthetic polyurethane resin which can be premade or molded for custom orders.
