However, we can see ashton drake and paradise galleries are two exceptions which you can always get realistic looking dolls. Dolls in the two stores have very unique design, and dolls in the two stores are more realistic than other stores.
Where reborn doll always appear?
Reborn dolls are always looking similar or the same from amazon, aliexpress, alibaba, wish and so on. They look the same, have the same materials. However, you want to buy factory directed reborn doll, you can come to our shop or buy from sole design store. Some sellers use low quality reborn doll which looks the same with other store’s to cheat consumers, they always define a low price. Thus, even if you buy cheaply, but you buy bad reborn doll which look the same with other stores. Before you buy reborn doll, you can ask seller to send you the practical image to avoid receiving a doll which is different from that you want to buy online.
Which price period is reasonable to buy a reborn doll?
If reborn dolls are too cheap. Don’t be happy that you buy a precious one. We know everything needs cost, even producing a baby doll. If price is too cheap, never buy! Pure silicone reborn doll is expensive than other material reborn doll, for silicone cost is much higher than other material cost. For the silicone is very soft, so the craftsmanship is more difficulty. Designers should carve and draw doll as real as a truly baby. There is no doubt that is difficulty to complete. Usually, one silicone reborn doll is over $100.
Which seller is reliable?
If purchasing on Facebook, ask the seller for a safety photo, and an item of your choice. A safety photo is a written piece of paper that lists the seller's name, the reborn doll's sculpt name and artist, the reborn doll artists' name, and a recent date. So ask the artist for this, with ALL of that information, and give them an item to put in the photo to prove that they are in possession of the reborn and they are who they say they are. For example, you can ask them to take a photo of the reborn, with the safety photo and a spoon, or a pencil or a sock, to give you an idea.
If you buy on facebook or instagram, remember to ask seller to give a practical photo and some certificates. Usually, reborn doll has the producing certificates that are safe to babies. Those certificates conform to safety requirements of ASTM F963 and EN71.
Silicone is sticky to touch. When you hug the silicone reborn doll, you will feel the baby is so soft and not sticky, they are not so hard. However, if material is vinyl, you will feel that the baby is so heavy and hard. Usually, we use silicone vinyl material to make the reborn doll. If silicone reborn doll is too cheap, you get scammed. Pure silicone reborn doll is very expensive. Then the silicone vinyl reborn, the pure vinyl reborn is most cheap.
Which payment should I choose?
You can choose paypal, credit card, master card and so on. Then leave message to seller. If seller only get money but not shipped , report seller and get refund!
