Choosing the Right Reborn Doll For You
Executive Summary about reborn doll By Jay Villaverde
When looking to purchase a reborn dolls, you'll first want to take a look at the paints that have been used to create the reborn doll's very realistic skin. The best paint for the job is genesis heat set paint, as it won't fade or rub off over time. More layers will give the doll a more lifelike look, creating more depth.
Think about the method used to weight the doll you're considering purchasing, as well. The preferred weighting materials are glass dust in fingers and toes, and tiny glass beads in the body. The rest of the body should be filled with soft, but resistent poly pellets, which feel just like the fat in a human infant. Silicone is often used around the doll's joints, as well. The whole fill is generally wrapped in fiber fill to create a cuddly feeling doll, and to keep the materials from escaping.
Hair is important for realism, as well. Good quality reborn dolls have high end mohair eyelashes and scalp hair, individually rooted to create the right look. Lower quality dolls may have multiple hairs inserted at once, which creates a "plug" look.
Reborn dolls have been getting a lot more popular, which means there are more choices on the market.

What kind of paints are being used to create a realistic skin coloration on your doll? Heat set genesis pains are the most popular choice for people who want a really good result. This paint doesn't fade, rub off, or bleed. Is the hair well rooted on an individual basis? In quality dolls, each hair will be inserted into the scalp, using a needle, rather than in large plugs. Wigs are also a possibility for reborn dolls, but they should be properly secured with good adhesives, and no visible edges should be present, to make the doll look more realistic.
Soft materials and vinyl are the most common choices, and they're generally painted, just like the other skin on the doll. They'll be weighted using glass beads or poly beads, and will often be filled with a soft batting. You'll be surprised at how lifelike a good reborn doll really is.
