Reborn dolls - or reborn baby dolls, as they are also known - are currently a hot topic which causes controversy whenever it comes up in conversation or in the Press.
Opinion is divided into two camps. The first group comprises largely women who enjoy the pastime of either collecting or making reborn dolls. At the other end of the spectrum is an element of the general public -often men - who believe that the first group are crazy for wanting to create or cherish these incredibly realistic dolls!
So what exactly are reborn dolls and why do they polarize opinion?
In simple terms, a reborn doll is an extremely life-like vinyl doll which resembles a newborn baby. The heads, limbs and bodies are usually made of high quality vinyl, although some have soft cloth bodies.
The baby doll's hair is often rooted with mohair, while the limbs, hands and feet have wrinkles, veins, fingernails and toenails, applied using specialist paints and techniques.
Reborn baby dolls range in size from:Minis at a mere 6 inches long Newborns at 14" long Preemies (short for premature babies) at 15" to 17", Baby dolls in general which are normally anywhere from 14" to 20" in length Toddler dolls which are usually 20" to 22".
The dolls can be either baby girls or baby boys, although girls are more popular.
The owners of reborn dolls fall into 2 categories: Doll collectors who buy reborn dolls produced by doll companies such as Berenguer, Lee Middleton and Ashton Drake. The extremely high level of craftsmanship and top quality materials which go into the making of these collector dolls mean that they do not come cheap. Recommended retail prices range from approximately £100 to £200 (0 to 0) or even more. Hobbyists who start with a basic doll kit consisting of a blank head, limbs and body produced by a specialist doll kit company such as Secrist in the USA. They then spend weeks or even months painstakingly painting, washing and rooting to create a life-like baby doll - some barely indistinguishable from a real baby. This hobby is called reborning and is becoming ever more popular in countries such as the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
These dolls are known as OOAK - or One Of A Kind - as each doll created is unique. In the USA, top quality OOAK reborn dolls can command prices up to ,400 (£950). Some reborners also take on commissions and work to a photograph of an actual baby - in much the same way as an artist who creates a likeness of a person by painting a portrait.
If you've ever seen a reborn doll up close, it is easy to understand why reborners and doll collectors become so emotionally attached to them. The best ones really do look like living babies!
In addition, the level of craftsmanship exhibited by the most gifted reborn doll artists is also a thing of wonder. The lifelike expressions and skin colouring, the tiny veins and wrinkles all reflect the skill and artistry of the creator.
For those who think we are crazy, I would ask what is wrong with wanting to collect or create an object of beauty into which a great deal of love and attention has been poured? for those cynics out there I would ask - is your hobby as gentle and caring as reborn dolls?
So go ahead you're not crazy! Join the growing band of hobbyists and collectors who enjoy reborn dolls.

Monster High Dolls - Meet the New Dolls in Town
Watch out girly dolls! There's a new doll in town.
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!

Collecting Porcelain Dolls As Rare Collectibles
The second largest hobby within the United States is antique doll collecting, which includes porcelain dolls. There are a large variety of antique dolls to choose from and collectors need to learn every bit of vital information available to enable them to build their collections properly.
Porcelain dolls are normally handcrafted from a high quality of porcelain and then are hand painted to express facial features in eloquent poses. Collectors have even collect dream catchers that feature stunning porcelain dolls, which they feel gives them the power to have good dreams. Many dream catchers wear costumes that are made from suede with beads that hand applied and accented with feathers.
Porcelain dolls are so expensive often time due to the popularity of the artist, the quantity that has been produced, and how limited the numbers were. Of course, original artists collectible porcelain dolls are much more valuable than the more mass produced porcelain dolls. These types of collections can be educational as well as exciting, and displaying your collection is an intricate part of the pride of a collector. Locating porcelain dolls from antique stores, flea markets, and garage sales can be quite challenging, but there are a variety of choices to choose from.
Collectors of these beautiful dolls know that they can be quite expensive, however, collectors can purchase porcelain dolls that are rarely found that have been restored. Before purchasing an porcelain doll that has had a restoration done to it be sure that it was done correctly by using original materials and the proper techniques. The fabrics and trims used to restore the porcelain doll should always be representatives from the period that the doll was originally produced, which will help keep its integrity and in determining their value.
During the 1800s, porcelain dolls were produced in Germany, France, and Denmark by hand, but then during the last of the nineteenth century manufactures began mass producing the arms, legs, and heads of these marvelous dolls in Germany. There are two types of porcelain dolls which are china that have a glazed face, and bisque where the skin has a more natural look and has an unglazed finish.
The French introduced the "BeBe" during the middle of the 1800s by Emil Louis Jumeau, which wore clothing that resembled the fashion that was currently being worn by the higher class females of that day. Porcelain dolls that were produced in Germany were not as elegant as their French counterparts, but they were much more popular with the general population because they were much more affordable. Today it is not hard to locate porcelain dolls that resemble babies, youngsters, and adults, which are available in a number of sizes, nationalities, and costumes.
When collectors purchase porcelain dolls today they will find that they are considered to be artistic pieces and they will usually come with a certificate of authenticity and a registration card. Porcelain dolls will be stuffed with cloth that includes a wire type armature to help pose the doll. Some of the dolls have a two piece head with the shoulder plate being constructed to help position the head. The heads, arms, and legs are normally produced from a high fire and high quality porcelain as well.

Barbie Dolls - History and Facts
The Barbie doll phenomenon began in 1959 when Barbie was introduced at the New York Toy fair. Then began a great success story in the history of doll manufacturing. Barbie was the first adult doll figure to be mass produced. Before this nearly all dolls were modelled after babies or children. "New for '59,The Barbie Doll:A Shapely Teenage Fashion Model Price .00" was her intitial billing.
In 1945 Elliot and Ruth Handler formed a partnership with Harold Matson to manufacture picture frames. The two names Matson and Elliot were combined to form the company name Mattel. Elliot used the picture frame wood scrap to make doll house furniture. This was the start of the Handler furniture business.
About this time Ruth noticed that her daughter Barbara and friends preferred to play with adult paper dolls rather than child or baby dolls. The girls preferred a doll which could be their role model when they grew up. Ruth realised that there could be big commercial possibilities in the adult doll market. She discussed the idea with her husband but he felt that it would be too expensive to start making the dolls.
Soon after this Ruth made a trip to Germany and purchased a doll called Lilli. This adult type doll was based on a German comic strip. On returning to the USA she began work to redesign the doll working with a doll clothes designer. Soon the Barbie doll was born and was named after Ruth's daughter Barbara. The doll was patented by Mattel in 1958 and introduced in 1959. She was to become one of the most well known and well loved toys ever made.
Barbie soon became a collectors doll and was avidly sought after by adult collectors. Between 1959 and 1972 Barbie underwent seven changes in her appearance and design. These Barbies made up to 1972 are recognised as vintage collectible dolls by their fans and are eagerly sought after. The 1959 Barbie doll in mint condition will sell for thousands of dollars. Some have sold for as much as 00 to ,000 but you can buy them for much less and 00 to 00 is quite common. Later editions fetch proportionately less. Dolls made in the 1969 to 1972 period can often be bought for a few dollars. Garage sales and flea markets are still the source of a few early dolls. About 300,000 of the 1959 Barbie were made and there are undoubtedly many out there still undiscovered.

Rare Dolls - Did Your Grandmother Give You Any of These?
If you want the next big thing in collectibles, think about buying vintage dolls. There are many reasons why these lovely items are such good collectibles. One is that, beyond their basic monetary value, they're nice to behold and make great conversation pieces.
Another positive aspect of collecting vintage dolls is that they have a really interesting and unique historical value. Different types of dolls, whether mass marketed or rare dolls, were made at different periods in history. Getting an antique doll can encourage you and/or your children to look into the background of the doll and learn about what was going on in history at the time it was made.
The price of antique dolls varies depending on age, condition, and rarity. Their values have increased throughout the years and continue to do so. Consequently, owning antique dolls will prove to be quite an investment. Not only is an older doll a nice way to decorate your home, but it will prove to be a financial bonus in years to come once you decide to sell it.
There are many places that offer good deals on vintage dolls. Among the most popular places to purchase them is through the internet, where there are many retailers that offer them for sale, as well as a variety of auction sites where people place them for bid. One of the best things about purchasing dolls through the internet is that you can do price comparison and research about a specific doll's value in the current market all at one time.
Some great places to find some of these older dolls include flea markets and antique fairs. These work well because not only can you physically inspect the dolls for quality, but also you might be able to bargain with the seller and purchase the doll a bit cheaper. However, if you aren't very educated about the dolls prior to attending one of these functions you might not know a great value when you see it.
No matter where you purchase your dolls, be sure and keep them in pristine shape. To maximize the value of your investment don't forget to keep all clothing, accessories, etc. Also make sure you store your dolls properly, away from moisture and sunlight, to keep them looking new.

Reborn baby dolls range in size from:Minis at a mere 6 inches long Newborns at 14" long Preemies (short for premature babies) at 15" to 17", Baby dolls in general which are normally anywhere from 14" to 20" in length Toddler dolls which are usually 20" to 22".
The dolls can be either baby girls or baby boys, although girls are more popular.
The owners of reborn dolls fall into 2 categories: Doll collectors who buy reborn dolls produced by doll companies such as Berenguer, Lee Middleton and Ashton Drake. The extremely high level of craftsmanship and top quality materials which go into the making of these collector dolls mean that they do not come cheap. Recommended retail prices range from approximately £100 to £200 (0 to 0) or even more. Hobbyists who start with a basic doll kit consisting of a blank head, limbs and body produced by a specialist doll kit company such as Secrist in the USA. They then spend weeks or even months painstakingly painting, washing and rooting to create a life-like baby doll - some barely indistinguishable from a real baby. This hobby is called reborning and is becoming ever more popular in countries such as the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
These dolls are known as OOAK - or One Of A Kind - as each doll created is unique. In the USA, top quality OOAK reborn dolls can command prices up to ,400 (£950). Some reborners also take on commissions and work to a photograph of an actual baby - in much the same way as an artist who creates a likeness of a person by painting a portrait.
If you've ever seen a reborn doll up close, it is easy to understand why reborners and doll collectors become so emotionally attached to them. The best ones really do look like living babies!
In addition, the level of craftsmanship exhibited by the most gifted reborn doll artists is also a thing of wonder. The lifelike expressions and skin colouring, the tiny veins and wrinkles all reflect the skill and artistry of the creator.
For those who think we are crazy, I would ask what is wrong with wanting to collect or create an object of beauty into which a great deal of love and attention has been poured? for those cynics out there I would ask - is your hobby as gentle and caring as reborn dolls?
So go ahead you're not crazy! Join the growing band of hobbyists and collectors who enjoy reborn dolls.
