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!)

The market for reborn dolls has absolutely exploded in the past five years, thanks to a widespread implementation of art techniques that allow for more realistic-looking dolls. The berenguer and preemie dolls that have sold for years can be credited partially for the craze brought on by reborn dolls, as they began the trend of lifelike qualities and expressions that make them reminiscent of a real human baby.

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 then have a purple color added to the inside of the plastic parts to add color tones underneath the plastic, which will add to the realistic skin color of the doll. From there, the outside is painted up with different skin toned paints and colors to add a real skin color, and then other tones and techniques are implemented to create skin lines, blemishes, and other skin-topping effects that make the doll look more lifelike.

Hair and eyelashes made out of real human hair or soft humanlike hair is used to give the reborn dolls lifelike features. Usually this process is done by hand and one strand at a time, this method can take many hours. After that the doll is then put back together with a softer under belly and filling. Sometimes they may add other extras to give the doll more aspects of a human being such as a hearbeat sound box to mimic a heart or breathing.

For individuals who wish to make their own, and for those individuals wishing to put in less work, there are reborn doll collections available that able the customer to create their own reborn doll without putting in as much work. A lot of people are willing to dish out their money (paying as high as a few 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, to have as a keepsake.
