It is extremely important that you do not consider your reborn as toy; there are multiple reasons for this and first and foremost you should consider if you would treat an actual baby as one - of course you certainly would not and your reborn baby doll is no different.
It is also very important to not let children play with them either. They are not suitable as childrens toys due to the delicate parts that may come loose, and if they are curious as children often are then you might want to consider supervised care of it. More importantly, You should not let your reborn doll replace your children though, and this is a serious comment - some people take things too far.
The reborn should not be man handled with any exerted force - many of the bits the make up the beautiful baby are brittle while others are delicatly attached - they will not withstand force though and it will cause them to fall off. This will include the finger nails, hair, eyelashes and brows.
The temperature may cause damage to the reborn if you arent careful. If it gets too hot it will cause the doll vinyl to become soft and may damage the coloring or the paint.
In extreme cases it may even melt of cause warping and flattening of its features. Dont leave a light near the doll as this can get it too hot. Likewise, cold will damage it it it gets too cold, it will crack the doll.
Dust is the destroyer of many collectible items, so you should dust your reborn doll from time to time. Dusting it gently will keep it in prime condition for many years although you should not use polish.
Some people keep their reborns in a showcase which preserves them for much longer so if you wont be moving yours around too often this is a possibility for you.
This should all help you keeping your reborn dolls innocence and features as fresh as when you first got it.

The Ideal Toy Company began in 1902. They first produced teddy bears. In 1930 they produced popular dolls such as Shirley Temple and Judy Garland. The dolls produced by Ideal are considered to be very good quality dolls.
Betsy McCall: Stands 14′ tall with a vinyl head, and a Toni body. The 1954 version was a walker. Betsy McCall was produced in the years of 1952-1954.
The Ideal Toni dolls were designed by Bernard Lipfert in 1949. It was a rather expensive doll for this era. The Toni dolls were produced as a marketing tool for the Toni Cosmetic Company and sold with a home permanent kit.
The Ideal Doll, , was one of the most popular dolls ever made. Some of them today are worth a lot of money. Shirley Temple dolls in rare outfits can sell for hundreds of dollars and the very, very mint dolls in their original boxes can sell for $1,000 and more.
When you’re shopping for the little girl in your life, it can be difficult to decide what doll she will enjoy best. But there are many options when it comes to doll toys, doll clothes, and even doll furniture..jpg)
Barbie is, of course, the most iconic of all doll toys. She’s been around for over 50 years and she continues to remain very popular.
Not available in stores was an outfit called the "Special Offer Party Dress." Also included in some of the boxes of dolls was mail in offers for this particular dress. The deal was to send in two Baby Face proofs of purchase and a check or money order for $2. The outfit came with headband, shoes, no socks or diaper.
There is yet another more interesting aspect to toys and they are very aptly named collectibles. The toy manufacturers have now created a new market for collectibles, its amazing how these collectible toys or rather items have found buyers among children and adults both.
The buyers of the Ashton Drake Dolls who come to the store are treated as the new parents and once they buy the doll of their choice they are handed over the doll bought as if they are sending the newborn home with the new parents. One feels how creative the toys and collectibles have become and equally creative are the sellers of these toys.
Normally most of the dolls that are the toy dolls are made up of either plastic, fiber or wood but the Ashton Drake Dolls are known to use their trademark materials that give all their dolls and also other collections like Teddy Bears, jewelry, Figurines and Ornaments close to life and very real feel. One can say that Ashton Drake is one of the popular and highly acclaimed companies that manufacture realistic dolls and Teddy bears.
Toys are a huge part of any kid’s life. Their imagination and fascination is boosted when they see toys of different types. These toys act as great teachers for kids. Children learn many things from toys. Kids are introduced to colours, shapes, sizes and names through the medium of toys. Toys are best pals of the kids. Toys are always with the kids since their early ages. The choice of the toys, most often, is in their parent’s hands. The toys are the factors that play a major role in a child’s growth.
Some of the most famous toys are Barbie dolls, various types of dolls, robots, action figures, airplanes and cars. Generally, Barbie dolls and other dolls, are loved by little girls. On the other hand, boys love cars, airplanes and robots. Action figures can be found in a boy’s room rather than a girl’s room.
Robots are one of the most innovative toys found. Robots are the combination of intelligent design and innovation. Robots toys are different than the normal action figures. Most robots are battery driven. Robots comprise of moving parts like hands, legs, head, weapons and antenna. There are lots of types of robots. These are inclusive of flying robots, rolling or simply responsive to the touch. Some of the robots listen to the voice commands. These robots react according to the command, like dogs.
But what’s the main reason behind little girls preferring Bratz dolls over their formidable competition? The answer is simple: coolness. While a lot of moms out there seem to avoid buying Bratz because of their diva looks, the excess of makeup on the dolls’ faces, their bad attitude expressions and the "trashy" clothes they wear; these precise features are what make little girls (and not-so-little too) go crazy for Bratz dolls. Let’s face it: reality shows us that more and more young women every day tend to adopt the latest fashions and trends, so it is rather logical for a little girl to prefer stylistic Bratz dolls over the more conservative and outdated Barbie dolls.
Maybe the reason for the popularity of the Bratz dolls is the large number of accessories available: from clothing for different seasons to mini-malls, from a sushi restaurant to a cool disco, these Bratz seem to know how to have fun! The different Bratz available include: Bratz Angelz (yes, they are rock stars!), and of course the Angelz tour bus and party plane (every rock star should have one…), the cool Wild West Bratz (I just love those little cowboy hats and the horse), the plain Step Out Bratz dolls, and (my favorites) the Bratz Campfire Girlz. There is also a couple of little Bratz (the Bratz Babiez, Phoebe and Roxxi) to choose from. I specially recommend the Bratz Holiday Doll, a nice lovely doll with a beautiful long evening dress.
There is also a huge number of cool playsets for the Bratz, including the CampFire tent, the limousine, a sushi - karaoke bar, the Bratz shopping mall, the retro cafe, and a vast selection of different places where your Bratz dolls can hang out.
Just about every little girl in American has owned a Barbie doll. Now collecting these cherished dolls can be big business. Find out all about collectible Barbies in this article.
If you wish to maintain the value of your collectible Barbies, you must leave them in their boxes. Part of the value of a Barbie is the original box; therefore most experienced collectors do not ever remove their collectible Barbies from their boxes. The value of collectible Barbies can depreciate by as much fifty percent if they are taken out of their boxes. As a collector of Barbie dolls you have a choice to make about whether to take the doll out of its box to enjoy while losing out on value, or simply console yourself that the doll in its box is beautiful and will maintain its value even though you will not get a chance to touch and play with it. However, you can buy a collectible Barbie doll packaged in a lift-off box, so you can still enjoy playing with and feeling your Barbie. In this way it will still look great while it retains its value as a collectible.
Finding collectible Barbies is not a difficult task, but getting to know the value of your collection can require a bit of effort. Before you are able to accurately judge the value of collectible Barbies, you may need to ask an expert or read up on the literature pertaining to collectible Barbie dolls. If you are new to this activity, be sure to realize that there are a number of sources for you to tap into in your quest for information on collectible Barbie dolls. There are two classes of collectible Barbie, vintage and modern. Vintage dolls are those produced from 1959 to the early eighties; modern dolls are produced from the mid-eighties on. Both classes have collectible value.
Most collectors who collect Barbies because of their value will gravitate towards Label dolls. These pieces have very detailed attention paid to clothes and accessories. The Platinum Label doll is produced in limited editions that do not exceed a thousand such dolls, and are sometimes only found in a specific retail shop. The White Chocolate Obsession Barbie Doll is a wonderful example of such a collectible doll, and the name refers to the scent of white chocolate that exudes from the doll’s hair. Other similar collectible Barbies include Faerie Queen, Badgley Mischka Bride Barbie, as well as the very restricted Nurse Barbie doll that has been designed by Robert Best.
A reborn baby doll is a toy doll that has been taken apart and reconstructed to look like a real baby with special techniques and paints that mimic the imperfections of a real baby. The process of making a Berjusa reborn doll is quite time consuming, but it’s no wonder the dolls have become so popular among people.
Following that, every single hair must be attached to the body. This takes the most time seeing that you must attach the eyebrows and eyelashes as well as the head. Each strand, usually mohair or human hair, is placed one at a time which takes an extreme amount of patience.
Over the past few holiday seasons we have seen the Princess Barbie and the Pauper Anneliesse become very popular and very good sellers. We are also seeing Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus. Included in the selection is Pegasus Annika, Cloud Queen Rayla, Prince Aidan, and Flying Horse Brietta.
Bratz has followed suit with a line called Bratz Forever Diamondz. At a price of $29.95 it is the most expensive Bratz dolls yet. The success this new collection is enjoying is very impressive. A new video game called Bratz Forever Diamondz is now on the market for Sony Playstation as well as Ninentendo. The company hopes this new video game will follow the success of the Rock Angelz game. Even more than this, there is talk of a full length animated motion picture in the works for release in 2007.
Does anybody see the similarities between this years Barbie range and last years Barbie range? Is it just a coincidence that Princess Anneliesse from last year is now Princess Annika, Pauper Erika is now Cloud Queen Rayla and King Dominic/Julian is now Prince Aidan. They also look pretty similar too! This is not to say that the new range is not fantastic because it is but maybe this explains the sudden interest in something new for children such as the new Bratz dolls which are exciting and different and not scared of causing controversy.
