Doll lovers and collectors alike have recently been looking for a doll that appears to more closely resemble an actual young human. In fact, a new market that calls for the making of "reborn" dolls has become quite popular for those who like to acquire different types of dolls. Most seasoned doll collectors have become bored with the dolls that are usually sold in stores. It's these people that are now embracing the artistic endeavor of producing dolls that could be mistaken for humans (or almost!)

Within approximately the last five years the Reborn Doll Market has shown a significant increase in popularity. This can be attributed to a number of particular artistic concepts that have gained recognition. These techniques produce dolls which are more life-like. The Berenguer and Preemie Dolls have been around for a number of years. These dolls, with their true-to-life expressions, details and physical characteristics, have contributed greatly to this Reborn Doll Fad.

Many times, reborn dolls are made using a specific procedure that works to remove the doll of its artificial appearance and trappings to create a more natural looking and feeling model. This procedure most often begins with taking apart the doll and removing the paint that was put on at the production facility. This removing of the paint leaves a plastic shell that you can modify as necessary.

Reborn dolls will then have a purple hue added to their insides, which will create color tones underneath the plastic. This enhances the realism of the doll's skin color. At that point, different skin tones are painted on the outside to add a true skin color, and other touches, such as skin lines, blemishes and other effects will help to make the doll appear more realistic.

Reborn dolls will then have real human hair or soft human-like faux hair added for the hair and eyelashes, often by hand and strand by strand, to help create the human look. This can take dozens of hours. Once the hair is completed, the doll is put back together again. At this point softer fillings and other items, like sound boxes to create the illusion of breathing, or a heartbeat, may be added to make the completed doll seem even more life-like.

Reborn doll kits, which are ideal for those who wish to make their own reborn doll without a vast amount of work, are now available. However, the people who really want one have no problem spending upwards of a few hundred dollars to obtain one. The dolls are also popular gifts for mothers of new babies, as these dolls are reminiscent of their child's condition after birth.

Creating more realistic child dolls is an increasingly growing trend among collectors and hobbyists. The term given to this is creating reborn dolls. The Berenguer and preemie dolls that have sold for years can be credited partially for the reborn craze, as they began the trend of lifelike qualities and expressions. For individuals who wish to make their own dolls, reborn doll kits are available. A lot of people are willing to pay as much a several hundred dollars to buy one. Newborn mothers have come to be one of the most popular receivers of these gifts, frequently imitating the condition of their children after birth, as a keepsake.
