The collector doll market is now dominated by reborn Berenguer dolls. A quick search of eBay shows that a majority of the auctions for rebrons involve the Berenguer dolls in some way. Reborns are referred to as such because skilled artists have taken a normal doll and created a new, life like creation. The doll has been reborn!
These creative creations first started appearing in the early 1990s in the United States. As collectors and owners started seeing the high level of skill, unique techniques and rare quantities created their popularity and value grew. Increasing their popularity, the world wide media picked up coverage of these dolls.
The media, and the public in general, find these dolls very interesting. They are so life like they are easily mistaken for real babies. Police have even broken out windows in cars to “save” these “babies”! Perhaps more than the life like appearance, they way many owners treat these dolls is the cause for the media attention.
Many reborn owners are more than collectors. They do not keep their purchases locked in glass cases to be paraded around only at conventions and expos. These reborn Berenguer doll owners treat the dolls as though they were real babies. They are dressed, washed, groomed and talked to as though they are real. They are taken out in strollers and on shopping trips to the store. The life like nature of the dolls is so uncanny they can easily pass as real babies unless you are virtually inches from them.
Some people find this kind of attention lavished on a doll as “weird” or “creepy” but in reality most owners are completely normal. Some enjoy the feeling of playing with dolls just like they did as a child. Others buy the dolls because they are durable enough to withstand the rough treatment they receive.
Another reason the market for reborning dolls has increased in the last few years is the fact that some people have an artistic flair. The dolls are made so exact that if there is a flaw in the painting it will be clearly seen in the finish. This is not the case with regular painted dolls in the field.
Some people who enjoy the hobby of sculpting dolls put a lot of time and care into their work. It takes a lot of talent and talent to create a doll that is completely realistic. The realism of the paint job and the sculpting is what makes the doll really “pay attention”.
The reborn dolls are unique because they are made by finding a seam with a seam of clay. A seam of clay is made by pushing the clay into a seam of the dolls body. A lot of time and effort goes into the finish of the doll.
Some people find that throwing a doll into the water will help improve its finish. When the water evaporates the doll becomes a lot more realistic. One could say the realism of a dolls head is enhanced by the water absorbing the makeup of the body.
The realistic eyes of the dolls are enhanced by the evaporative water that passes water molecules through them. This makes the skin look somewhat “wavy” and the eyes look more “open”. This is the same technology that is used with makeup to enhance the realism of faces.
There is some controversy about the dolls. Some people claim that the doll is not made from the actual limbs of a real baby. According to them the dolls are vinyl limbs or faux limbs. There is also the question of whether dolls that are reborn are really real. According to retormoths, or rather, “reborn” vinyl limbs such as Jax the Robot are typically used in vinyl body forms but they are not considered to be fully real.
The art of fabric body sculpting is the basis for the design of the Jax the Robot baby doll. The limbs are made from a special material called hyacinth plastic, a material that is light, flexible, and durable. These limbs, made from this material, are especially sturdy, super flexible, and super strong. The design of Jax the Robot is specifically fashioned to support a real baby’s weight.
This feature of the Jax the Robot baby doll is especially important to first time baby parents. It is easy to get the baby to put into and out of its snowsuit. The snowsuit keeps the baby warm and free from chafing. Since it is so comfortable, the time it takes to read a baby’s rash wrinkly or the correct position to make changes to the snowsuit is significantly reduced. Jax the Robot’s snowsuit is durable and optically accurate. The crystal clear images of the body of Jax the Robot are well outlined. Even with bright light, it is difficult to find any detail out of this toy robot apart from theVarious buttons and joysticks.
Jax the Robot is a fun for any family with kids 3 months and above.
