Reborn dolls are being made more than ever before and as their popularity rises more and more people are turning into artists. This has a knock on effect where more people are also becoming collectors too. But what is it that makes them so desirable so they can fetch upwards of $5000?

Firstly, they are seen by many as being cute, adorable and have an innocence about them like that of a real baby. This makes them stand out from other collectors items and can often warm someone's heart to great lengths. This of course can lead to impulse buys especially from people who have only just come across them. More importantly however is the fact that this can also lead to the reborn doll artist getting a loyal fan following.

secondaly, A lot of people appreciate the talent and hard work that it takes to create a beautiful reborn doll. Its not just a case of taking it apart and putting it together again. Fine layers of paint are built up to create realistic flesh tones and blemishes while the hair can be fiddly an awkward at first. Depending on the medium used, such as Genesis Heat Set paints, individual pieces may need baking or they will need to dry which will make the entire process quite slow too, so it can take many many hours to create a reborn baby from start to finish.

Thirdly, is the fact that as these dolls are hand crafted by these artists they will never be the same. Some people will accept custom reborn doll orders where you can specify your requirements or even make a doll from a photograph. You will often pay more for this, but you can request almost anything you like, such as pacifiers, heart beat and breathing simulators.

Finally, Dolls have been one of the biggest collector items of all time and it is no difference here; Reborn dolls will continue the trend and are likely to become one of the most sought after types ever.
